Had a major DUH moment... After I drank this hot cocoa mix from Nashua Nutrition, it occurred to me--is anything I get from Nashua ok to have? This was sent to me as a sample. I assumed it was OK but now I'm wondering. The packet wasn't labeled with nutritional info or brand. It says "Hot Chocolate Nutritional Supplement" and it is in a brown and tan packet.

Just ordered protidiet stuff online using the code- thx for that. I'm going to use the bars as my restricted even though , when I deduct the fiber out, they aren't more than 5-7 grams is this right? Help!!!

Did the put a slip of paper in the bag identifying the samples so you can look up the nutritional information?

They probably did but I'm a dope and threw it out. I looked through the website and it looks like it's Healthsmart brand--either one that it could have been is OK nutritionally except I don't know if it was aspartame free or not. Ah well.

Which bars specifically did you get? As far as I had seen, all of the Proti Diet bars were at least 9g carbs even after deducting the dietary fiber, making them restricted.

i have not tried the pudding with the marshmallows that molly mentioned above. any weight loss systems puddings would work except i wasn't fond of the hazelnut. that was the only one i have tried.

i wonder how the WLS chocomint bar is??? has anyone tried it?
i just have not had success with bars...as most of the are way tooo sweet for me. the flavors are good, but the taste is too sweet.

i did not like the maple oatmeal so have steered away from oatmeal.

i eat chicken noodle soup about every other day!! i get the protidiet and that is my favorite.

so just let me know what puddings you have for trade and the chicken noodle soup if it is protiediet.

thanks so much
hugs

Rainbow, I am not sure if they are available in the US but "The Simply Bar" line is amazing. Very light and not overly sweet. They are all like rice crispy treats though, not candy bars. I have really loved them and there is no chemical in them!

They are available in the US. I ordered these online when I first started IP. I think from their website, but as I recall they were also available on amazon. And I think in stores, but not in my state.

I'm a hoarder! I just counted my packets! I have 204 of them! Ack! That does not include all the protein powder I have as well. Um, based on four packets a day (I do four because I exercise), that is 51 days worth! There are 46 days left in the year. Guess I've got some OPing to do! C'mon goal weight!

They have just started selling them at Costco here in Canada, I wouldn't be surprised if they start selling them at Costco in the US too.

LOL Me too! I am taking the 100% Whey Powder back to Costco and see if they will refund. The stuff tastes nasty to me. My son uses protein powder but even he will not use it - unless he mixes it with milk, which he doesn't want to do. I found a home for some other bulk powder I didn't care for. My pudding packets I have been using for pancakes if possible, and just not ordering any more for the most part. I'm rather hooked on EAS shakes and the Premier Nutrition Shakes. I've thrown some (proti thin chicken soup) out along with a couple others I know I'll never finish. I like the sloppy joe now and then with cooked cabbage. I'm trying to not be a hoarder.. I'm really trying.

Molly, I made your cookies yesterday. They're delicious! Made me feel like I was having dessert after my veggies for lunch. Frances

WOW! You look great!!!

I actually tossed the samples because I couldn't figure out which brand they were. I didn't want to risk cheating by accident.

I decided to go the private label IP route. So I bought 144 Chocolate RTD, 84 packets of soy puffs, 120 wafers and a 6 month supply of IP supplements (all not at the clinic.) And I have probably another 50 packets of odds and ends (that I may or may not use.)

I've just started making the bark as the nightly snack, so now I have to go back and buy pudding mixes. So I have absolutely NO reason to quit. It will cost me more money TO quit.
