Protein Bullets - Heard of them?

azqueen · 09-05-2007, 05:29 PM

On the Bariatriceating.com web site I saw a liquid Protein Bullet in several flavors. Chill or pour over ice. Thought it would be good for traveling. Are they any good? Banded 8-16-07. Going to Disneyland in two weeks. Thought it would be good to have in the park...anyone try them yet??

Hellooooo WasaBB needed on this thread!

Yikes... not the bullets!!! (in best whiney voice)

The bullets, shots, and shooters are made from a collagen protein and that is verrrry bad. You need whey or soy but not collagen.

Collagen is great for injecting in your lips or using in your make up but honestly, you don't want to know the process for getting collagen. It's icky.

I'll try to find a thread where it is discussed in detail.

I drink the "bullets" on a daily basis, as well as Isopure. The bullets are called "New Whey" and they contain 42 grams of protein. They do help control your hunger, and when I feel hungry, I reach for one of these and my hunger pains stop! They are made by a company called IDS Sports and their website is : :: Innovative Delivery Systems - Welcome to IDS Sports ::.

The flavors available are fruit punch, grape, orange and blue raspberry. To me, they taste like almost liquified jello. They are a semi-thick liquid.

I also drink Isopure. They come in a multitude of flavors and are packed with 40 grams of protein.

My doctors office recommends both products.

Those protein shots are NASTY. I bought about 4 of them and they will go in the trash.

I buy these Protein Bullets (42gr protein each; 2 = 84gr and 6.2 oz) and mix 2 in 16oz bottle add water to top -- they count as clear liquid, don't taste bad when dilluted either. Each day your goal is to get this 16oz bottle in (you have meet your protein goal)-- then you can have anything else you desire that you are allowed.************************************go to: your local vitamin shoppe or http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/search/...intsource=main or call them at 1-800-223-1216.$29.99 for 12 of the 42 gram bullets --I have a coupon -- that the website didn't recognize but I called them and they did honor it -- &quot;Save $10 on any purchase of $50 or more&quot; promo code VSC-3123 -- received it from my doctor's office - it also is a &quot;Supplement and Grocery list for Gastric Bypass Patients.&quot; (Feel free to use it as well!)*************************************Let me know how this goes!I have done this coming home from surgery on the 4-9 for 2 weeks - and don't feel tired or any other side effects --I now do only 1 in 1/2 bottle for breakfast each morning. I drink this then concentrate on getting additional 64oz plus of crystal light -- and such. THESE ARE WHEY PROTEIN - so that is the GOOD protein choice.

I use the IDS New Whey Protein 'shots'.
They are Whey Protein, which is the good protein...They are the 42g.
They do taste nasty, I would never drink them on ice or mixed in something else.
But, I can drink 1/2 of it in one gulp, and I chase it with water. I do this twice a day. These are my protein miracles! I can't stand shakes. I get grape & orange.. fruit punch was particularly aweful to me, it left horrible after tastes.

I just got some yesterday. I poured it over shaved ice made in the snow cone maker. It was sort-a like a snowcone. Artifical sweetner always my hungry though so I was hungry and had to eat some crackers later. Lots of protien...35mgs I think.

Actually they are NOT all the good protien. Here is the ingredient list.

Pure deionized water, Actinase (patent pending blend of enzymatically hydrolyzed collagenic protein isolate, whey protein isolate and caseine protein isolate), malic acid, Myovol? Complex (proprietary blend of leucine, valine and isoleucine), all natural flavors, acesulfame-potassium, sucralose, blue 1 and red 40.

**FairyFacade** · 09-06-2007, 04:24 PM

Ok, correction..
They contain whey protein isolate, which is the good protein.. Along with other protein.

WASaBubbleButt · 09-06-2007, 04:29 PM

The main protein source is collagen. That is a seriously bad protein.

josiebies · 09-06-2007, 04:37 PM

hi
i also use the protein bullets and i love them. i actually got used to the taste of the blue raspberry.
i use them if my band is too tight and i cant eat alot or if i havent eaten enough protein.

i also bought the 25g tubes.

i went on vacation this summer and took these as well as the isopure protein shakes. i alternated between them based on what i was eating for the day. in fact i'm driving from Texas to on sunday with my dogs and my bullets are all packed.

my hair is not falling out like i've read happening to bandsters on other threads and one reason i think this is so is because i was dilligent about my protein intake.

check out the price on A1supplements.com. they discount them

driving from texas to NY on sunday....i cut this out by accident
