Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Kit, Just read your response to Tina W. Good info! I am not crazy about the Myoplex drinks either, but love the bars. Can't they be substituted too? Gail >>> " Kit Keyes " <kit.keyes@...> 02/15/01 10:58AM >>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Thanks Kit, We did enter so I guess I am stuck with the Myoplex. We have a LOT of it. We got a great deal off fitrx.com 84 for $119.00 I add frozen strawberries and ice cubes, which seems to make it thinner. Give me another week or so and I'll probably like it. Today is day four, I am sore and my poor husband is having a hard time putting one foot in front of the other. We have more energy already, I can't believe it! I popped out of bed at 4:30 LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING TO THE GYM! I used to body build several years ago. I know I felt better, but I didn't have a great diet like this one. This is great!

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Tina, First off Myoplex lite and Myoplex deluxe taste totally different. Myoplex Deluxe is Nasty and has a harsh medicine taste. The lite has a nice flavor. I don't mind the thickness either, it is like a McDs shake to me. If you split the Deluxe you are getting the same amount of calories as you would in a full pack of the Lite. Liz > Help, > My husband hates the myoplex. I don't think it is that bad.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Tina, You have a lot of great things going for you it sounds like! A partner in your husband to share each others successes, familiarity with the gym and weights (for many, that's new and very foreign territory), a lot of energy and enthusiasm (I'm not sure I have ever " popped " out of bed) and a great attitude (not to mention the great fortune and good judgment to find and start BFL). As for the Myoplex, add a little more water and beat it less ( also if you use cold water instead of ice, the ice tends to thicken it as well ). Enjoy the journey!

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 I on the other hand live for the Deluxe and can barely handle the Lite. It's all a matter of taste. I have been accused of having poor taste, but that's another story! LOL Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2001 Report Share Posted February 15, 2001 Or it could be my history. I started with a meal replacement that was much higher carbs and less protein, that was very, very thin manufactured by Apex for 24 Hour Fitness and it was not anything to look forward to. My shake is the last meal of the day and it represents a big win and a promise kept for the day. It is generally one of my larger meals and I many times throw in extra protein powder (now this is overkill-very likely a big waste of money), peanut butter or a banana. I make sure my daily calories do not exceed 3000 so as to stay in a calorie deficit situation. But then again, my range is 2050 to 3250 to maintain a fat loss mode.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 I really feel Myoplex is essential. Yes, you have to use it to be in the Challenge, yes it has a great balance of protein/carbs, yes it has all kinds of other vitamins etc.. I work a pretty hectic schedule in the tech field (hey, don't we all work too much..) and I have found that bulk cooking meals and using Myoplex are key to sticking with the programs essentials. You do truely get on auto-pilot, which allows me to focus on workout intensity, planning and the rest of my life, which inevitably seems to creep up in the day. After doing all of this cost/time analysis, Myoplex makes a lot of sense for me. Not sure if this helps. Best of luck. -Dan > > Hello all > > Has anyone done the program without the Myoplex.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 No, you don't have to use Myoplex to be in the challenge. The rules state that you must use at least 1 EAS product and you must keep all the receipts. Glenda > I really feel Myoplex is essential.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2001 Report Share Posted April 3, 2001 , My sister is doing the program on whole foods only. The one exception is she has a scoop of protein powder mixed with milk as her meal #6, mostly because her tummy is too full to eat another meal. So, yes, it is possible to do the program on whole foods only. Myoplex is more a matter of convenience for a lot of people. I use it for that very reason, otherwise I would never get in all 6 meals. Jen B. P.S. Someone may have already written this, but when you post a message , would you please put the title in the subject line? It makes it easier to follow the thread and easier for people to find if they search by topic. Thanks! > > Hello all > > Has anyone done the program without the Myoplex.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Just a thought...next time try the new Myoplex Low-carb bars...they are much more filling (and bigger) and better tasting (in my opinion). You can eat them with a piece of fruit & glass of ice water & call it a meal! I'm not crazy about the apple-cinnamon, but the blueberry & lemon cheesecake are great and VERY filling!

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 I've bought those at Wal-Mart and like all 3. I was just beginning BFL when I ordered those other bars and didn't know what I was doing.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Andy, Myoplex bars are higher carb and lower protein. EAS Simply Protein and Low Carb are good sources of protein and I like the Labrada Lean Body Bars and the Worldwide Pure Protein bars. You can always have a piece of fruit if you want to boost your carb count and fruit tends to be as easily transportable as a bar. > Well, we finally received our shipment of Chocolate Myoplex Shake > mixes and Myoplex Lite Bars from NutritionMegastore.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Gen, It depends on the bar...Myoplex low-carb have only 3-31/2 gm. of carbs, but the Myoplex lite ones have much more. I know the Simply Protein bars are pretty low on carbs, but they have more fat. What are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'm wondering if a touch of splenda would help the myoplex taste any better......I tried my first one yesterday and just about gagged getting it down. Or what if I added some real strawberries or rasberries to it (mine is strawberry). It would up the carb content a bit but it would just have to taste better. I did make it with water...perhaps it is better with skim milk? Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
