Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 hello Nancy I havent used Georges, but from what I understand, Restore is plain whey powder. Its handy if you want to use your own brown, or to add protein to ordinary Georges without overdoing soy. Georges shake is soy - based, has the oats added already as well as the vitamins so yes, that accounts for the sums! you could try asking in a seperate thread for shake ideas, bet you'd get a few! so many variations - I have a soy shake made with chilled decaf and cottage cheese in, which may be an acquired taste ( I like it !) what step are you working on Nancy? Breakfast?? How are you getting along? mosaic , Nancy Rentz <zzzzdogs wrote: > > I have a question. I am new here. Ate way too much sugar over Christmas and have always known I have a sweet tooth. When I stop eating it I do pretty well but as soon as I start eating high sugar foods again--I am off and running with the total sugar addiction thing going on. I ordered George's shake and noticed when it came it does not have all of the vitamins that they talk about on the site. I went back to check it out and noticed I had ordered George's restore. It has 15 grams of protein and 60 calories. The other has 19.5 grams of protein and 150 calories. Could some one please explain the difference here in calorie content and how to use them?

Getting enough protein and a good solid carb at breakfast is the bedrock of my day. when I started I just worked on getting enough protein at first. Doing a shake is an easy way to get plenty of it! Let us know what you figure out. Lately I have been doing a shake using George's Restore protein powder (sold in the rr store) with a spelt bagel each morning. > > Tina > > > > > patmatthews > Fri, 11 Jan 2008 19:16:48 +0000 > Re: New members - go on -please post! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi All, > > > > I can't believe that I have been a member of R R for nearly a year.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Mosaic, Thanks for responding to my post. Yes I am working on breakfast. I am also trying to fix three healthy meals a day for me and my husband. Today we had 1/2 a turkey sausage, eggs over easy and toast. I got a vita mix for Christmas so I am trying to make healthy shakes for us at night instead of eating junk food. mosaic <mosaic58 wrote: hello Nancy I havent used Georges, but from what I understand, Restore is plain whey powder.
