Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / January 2006Any reason why whey protein wouldn't be ok?
I normally drink a quart of milk a day, and I've been looking for a substitute for milk that tastes pretty much the same but has significantly less carbs. I've found a vanilla-flavored whey protein powder that has only a couple grams of carbs but like 22 gm of protein. It tastes ok mixed with plain water. Not good, but ok. Is there any reason why this wouldn't be a good replacement for milk? Well, other than having less calcium, but that's easily taken care of. have you tried soy milk? I can't stand it but some can.. good sub. ---- RK, T1/pumper/Animas IR1250 Dx 5/2000 - Joined ASD 8/2000 Last A1C - 12.05 (6.3) No diabetic complications to date |I normally drink a quart of milk a day, and I've been looking for a | substitute for milk that tastes pretty much the same but has [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] | milk?

It is unsweetened soymilk. apparantly, to tryto duplicate the tste of milk sweetener is added to the soy milk. I use it in cooking and add exta non0nutritive swetener tot he recipe. I imagine you could do the sme with the plain liquid to get something close to milk.

If your doctor hasn't told you to avoid eating over a certain amount of protein because of severely damaged kidneys, there should be no problem. One ounce of a protein-containing meat or cheese contains about 6 grams of protein. There's also a product called Carb Countdown made by Hood, which is a low carb milk where they've taken out the lactose and replaced it with sucralose. It's a nice substitute for milk when cooking. I don't drink milk plain (never could stand the taste) so I can't say whether it tastes as good. The chocolate Carb Countdown is delicious. --Jenny http://www.geocities.com/lottadata4u Diabetes Info http://www.alt-support-diabetes.org/newlydiagnosed.htm Get Your Blood Sugar Under Control Peabody <waybackKILLSPAM44@yahoo.com> wrote in news:75Dvf.40354$Mi5.35822 @dukeread07: > I normally drink a quart of milk a day, and I've been looking for a > substitute for milk that tastes pretty much the same but has [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > milk?

Kidneys work harder with proteins if I understood my doctor right. > Peabody <waybackKILLSPAM44@yahoo.com> wrote in news:75Dvf.40354$Mi5.35822 > @dukeread07: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Kidneys work harder with proteins if I understood my doctor right. They're injured by glucose, not protein. You probably got your doctor right, but he got it wrong. Susan If you can get this http://www.hphood.com/products/products.list.Cb.asp its pretty good.
