A member asked:

I really want to start drinking protein to increase losing weight but i don't want the shakes that replace meals any advise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Add flavor yourself: Try using vanilla flavor whey protein shake, and add your own flavor (mio mango peach flavoring is excellent). Also you can mix the protein supplement into low fat vanilla frozen yogert or ice cream.
