New Protein
The new gym gave me a $20 gift certificate for referring someone to that gym. So I picked up a bottle of Syntha-6 for $15. Not bad huh! I need to get back into drinking my protein shakes. I’m just getting way too chunky. I’m trying to convince the owner into buying a stairmill and Controlled Labs products. They actually have really good prices. I mean it comes out to the same if I were to order from bb.com. Anyways, this is my first BSN product. Anyone ever drink this stuff? How’d it work for you?
Today will be the first day of my real diet. Of all days to start it on…Friday. It’s doughnut day at work too. Everyone keeps walking by me with one. So mean! I’m going back to my low carb eating. It just seems to work better for me. I’m going to try brown rice again. I tried it before but it didn’t taste good at all. Any good ways to make brown rice?

I’ve tried Syntha 6 Vanilla flavor. Most people that have mentioned it always talk about its amazing flavor. It always made me wonder if we were talking about the same drink, because I would rather drink cottage cheese, egg whites and spinach than drink vanilla flavored syntha 6.
I hear that it tastes much better when you use milk, which is something I Had never tried. Always water! Be strong on your first day of your diet! You can do it!! You are what you eat. And your co-workers will not escape the wrath of the lard, pure refined sugar, and blood sugar spiking white flour. You, my friend, will be beautiful toned muscle.

I like the syntha 6 flavors! not so much the vanilla as jJanet explained. But the chocolate is money! Great protein source!

Strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream, moccachino (that might be the lean dessert, though) I love them all! I have the cookies ‘n cream right now, and it’s not as sweet as I expected, but delicious nonetheless. HOwEVER, if you’re watching carbs it’s probably not the best way to go. Tha’ts a great price on it!! Syntha6 is usually kind of expensive, but that’s because it’s not JUST protein–but your carbs and EFAs too.

OH! I like it because it’s excellent in water, too. All protein tastes better in milk, but the Syntha6 is good in water too!
As for the brown rice tasting better…Hmmm….I cook my broccoli in it so it’s rice and broccoli. i really like cinnamon and splenda on white rice, perhaps that would work with brown rice?

I have an AWESOME suggestion for the brown rice. Dissolve 2 chicken-flavored bouillion cubes in 2 cups of water, then throw the water along with 1 cup of brown rice into the rice cooker and cook. It’s gonna smell and taste fantastic. Don’t forget to measure the rice to control portions!

I love the syntha 6. The strawberry is good. I don’t like it with water so I would use lowfat milk. But now what I do is use water and little bit of heavy whipping cream to thicken it up. It’s best protien shake I’ve ever had. And I’ve tried of lot of them!! LOL! Moccachino and chocolate are good as well.

Do you have a Trader Joe’s around there? They have whole wheat couscous which I kind of like better than brown rice, and I think it has more fiber. It makes a great taboule (sp)
