wow...second post of yours that is the excact oposite of me...

i tried these about 2 months ago...and at first, i thgought that they didnt taste soo bad...but the aftre taste is just absolutely horrible!!    ughh...like carbonated piss mixed with windex.....

but the protien intake on those drinks is pretty high...like 40 grams per drink, right?

yeah its 40 grams per botttle.  but its like isolated ion whey protein or something, i don't know something weird.  so i just wanted to know if it was a gimmick and the protein is usless.  they taste amazing.

The protein is good.  Fast obsorbing, so it is best right after a workout.  Not something you want to drink before bed, it will not stay with you that long.

I used to use isopure in high school when i was on my mom's budget....that was before i realized protein shakes could actually taste good...

..........and be affordable.

Low Carb Isopure is a gimmick.  You WANT carbs after your workout and Isolate is too quickly absorbed to be taken at any other time.   

I'd get the powder and some maltodextrin or powdered gatorade and mix it....40 grams Isopure, 100 grams Malto/Gatorade

Nice post.

Although going so high with the protein may be a waste of money, as well as fcuking up the ideal protein:carb postworkout ratio.

If you weigh 198 lbs, I'd say 120-140 grams carbs PW with 25-40 grams of protein is a good PWShake. Optional: adding 2-3 grams of creatine, and half a TEAspoon of regular salt.
