Not middle-aged, but needing a cure

I got Dr. and Dr. Eades’s new book a while back, The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle: The Simple Plan to Flatten Your Belly Fast!. With my recent experiences it’s becoming plain to me that a shake-driven plan might work better for me in the first couple of weeks. I’ll dirty fewer dishes and have to plan fewer meals. Works for me.

So I was hunting around for a whey protein I could live with. I found this: EAS Dietary Supplement, 100% Whey Protein 32 oz (2 lb) 0.9 kg

Netrition had a decent price on it, and I may go back to them later if I have to. But I found it on sale at Target for between $18 and $19. For some reason, it’s on clearance. I’m sad. But after payday I may go back and grab whatever they might have left.

I tried an experimental vanilla and caramel (sugar-free Toriani’s) shake last night, which was too sweet with 2 tbsp of the syrup so I tried the chocolate today with one. Works great. It is not high-end chocolate or even Hershey’s but it works fine for me. The vanilla is pretty yummy. One of the shake variation recipes calls for frozen berries and I bet the vanilla would kick. ass. with those.

Yeah, it’s fake food; yeah, there’s a little soy in it, but that’s the last ingredient in the list, which is pretty impressive for a protein powder. And no aspartame. I’m happy to note that at least with their whey protein, EAS is no longer drinking the NutraSweet Kool-Aid. (Let’s see how many trademarks I can abuse in one blog post!)

If you’re thinking of trying the 6-Week Cure, this protein powder meets the requirements of two of the ingredients in the shake. It has more than 15g protein per scoop, plus it has 2500mg of leucine per scoop, which is something else they want you to add to the shake. You’ll actually be getting more of it now than was originally called for. But if you’re a weak little noodle-arms like me, it’ll probably do you a bit of good. And it’s only for two weeks. Not too shabby.

No strawberry flavor, but strawberry flavor is easy to mess up. I can live without it.

Best part? The other adult in the house gets nasty headaches from sucralose. This stuff is ALL MINE. Muahahahaha!

Note: No one asked me to do this review. I chose to do it because I like the product. I’m terrible at meeting deadlines anyway, so asking me to do a review for you might be kind of futile unless you don’t care when I get it done. I did, however, use Amazon affiliate links in this post.

Note the second: How many different ways can I say “works for me” in one post? Wow. I am a shitty writer.
