Can I drink protein shakes while on VLCD?
You may drink whey protein shakes while on VLCD up to three times per week as one of your protein choices. When choosing a protein powder, look for one that has 100-120 calories per serving and has less than 2 grams of carbohydrate per serving (not net carbohydrate – total carbohydrate). Look at the ingredients section and verify that there are no other sweeteners besides stevia. We sell a fantastic VLCD-friendly protein powder in our store: https://www.thinnow.com/store.php
