  • Yes. as long as the fat calories are under 30% of the total calories... and the carbs are very low. That's fine.
  • Thank you Leannekarella ... I was just confuse because the fat is higher than the IP shakes.

    The protocol say 1 to 2 teaspoon of oil olive, should I avoid the oil because the fat in mine shakes is going to be high, that the Ip ones.

    No you should not skip the olive oil - they are two different kinds of fats and you need the good fats in the food oil.

    The calories you listed are also a bit higher than the IP shakes, but if you only plan on using the shake until you can get IP supplies from the clinic it shouldn't make much of a difference.

    That looks better for calories.
    It's kind of hard to eat/drink the same thing day after day after day though...just keep that in mind.

    Are you also looking at the ingredients? IP avoids products with aspartame.

    What do you think?
    just because you make the portion smaller does not mean everything will scale down in accordance, you may get the full amount of fat while only getting a portion of the potassium or protein or sodium, etc you have to remember this

    How come?
  • Quote: How come?
    Because you can't guarantee everything will be evenly distributed when you break up a pre-packaged portion. Most likely you would have a near-even split if you mix the shake well before dividing it up, but there's always a chance things will be out of balance.
  • Isn't this a pre-mixed shake?
    It will work fine if it is already in the bottle (versus a dry mix)
    I saw "serving size 1 bottle" in your post.
    I also saw in another post that it is a 14 oz bottle.
    You CAN just have 8 oz, and as long as all your mathematical calculations are correct, you are good-to-go!
  • It is already mix 14oz bottle... was thinking at the end I will finish having all the 14oz in the same day or next day ( you now what I mean).

    Thanks

    Sorry if my English is not good I am Spanish.
