everything about this produst seems right but i saw that it contained soy and if i remeber correctly it was fermented soy. i was bumbed when i saw that because i have heard nothing but bad things about soy especially being a 17 year old male who does not want to mess with estrogen levels? in this video i thought i heard you guys say no soy though? am i wrong?
@mtdewandal really? ive heard a lot of bad things about soy and its effect on the hormonal system and especially fermented soy wich is what i thought i read, i ended up buying the product anyways and i really like it, taste isnt bad i just threw in some ice and a banana in the blender, and my body responded real well
Hey this sounds like what i need!!! Ive been trying to gain weight for so long i do weight training 4 times a week do you think this product will help me for that to gain muscle? And another thing is i have real bad acid reflux! sucks will this be bad for it? like eggs tuna fish all that hurt my stomach. I eat more meat than vegetables so ive been looking for something like this on my workout days Please get back to me!! soon
@Tonygreens1 you could use this but also consider taking a good probiotic to improve your gut flora which will really help with acid reflux. Hope this helps.
@foxyvixen19 it really depends upon how many calories you take in relative to the amount of calories you burn. Without knowing more its difficult to determine. The best way to think of burning fat is there are 2 sides to the equation, the amount of calories you take in vs. the amount of calories burned. Now this should not replace all whole food in your diet rather it should supplement your diet. Hope this helps.
@foxyvixen19 I actually lost about fifty pounds using this with a good protein mix, and I only used it once daily. I also changed my eating habits somewhat while taking vitamins and other supplements but it worked for me.
@ChuckNadez17 sorry for the delayed reply, yes they can be taken together. The Raw Probiotics has a very high CFU count which is good. We have 10x more bacteria in our bodies that we have actual body cells so more is actually very good. Hope this helps.
This product is great although the taste is not the best. Yet, I add 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice, 1/2 of coconut milk, and 1 banana, the taste is amazing. The calorie count is a little over 500 but its an excellent 500 calories. If you're turned off by the taste, try this mix. I usually use 1 scoop (2 scoop per serving) in the mid morning, and the other scoop in the evening.
Hey! I am updating on my use of Garden of Life Raw Meal. I am on my 3rd 2.6lb tub and I have always worked out, but I was at a stand still. I started doing Beachbody Rocking Body and the Raw Meal. Oct - Nov, I lost 11lbs.
this may sound rude, but why is the Garden of Life rep. overweight if he uses this product . ..I guess i know the answer to that question, so I guess my pt is that he shouldn't be overweight...i actually use the raw meal replacement, but mine has 8g of fiber/serving, not 14 like you mentioned (and i'm pretty sure it's the improved flavor one)
@oxyguy2011 It's not rude its more of an observation as far as we are concerned. We are not sure Jay is big on working out and he really is not that far overweight in person, he just carries it in his face plus the camera adds 10 lbs, JK.
@nappytdy08 if you are not used to the amount fiber in it you should start with half a serving at a time as it takes time for the cells in your gut to adapt to a lot of fiber. Hope this helps.
@BestPriceNutrition Thanks. I actually just purchased this item today. I will start it at the conclusion of my 4 day Bentonite/liquid only fast. I wanted to make sure I get a meal replacement in. I have been eating according to Blood Type for 3 years. Barley and wheat grass are on the "avoids" list. I am hoping that it works out for me in the Raw Meal. Thanks for your response.
@BestPriceNutrition I love this product and have purchase to more 2.6 lbs containers....I am just concerned with the gas and if feels like I am gaining weight. I hope it is muscle and not fat. Otherwise, the product is fabulous. When I was strictly eating Blood type eating....as a O, it says to stay away from Barley, Yeast, etc. I hope I can continue using it. I love this product so much. My stomach just appears to be bloated.
@nappytdy08 this may be in response to the high fiber, try cutting your serving size in half as it takes time for the cells in your gut to adapt to a lot of fiber. Also the blood type diet lacks any peer reviewed evidence demonstrating it to be effective or show that blood type matters for diet. Hope this helps.
@BestPriceNutrition Yes. It may not be evidenced based, but it worked for me... I lost 67lbs. I stick to it and wanted to get more and better results without sacrificing nutrition. This is the reason I started Raw Meal and I am doing Sean T's Rocking Body. I just feel bloated all the time now.
If I could be on the measure, I am not going to be getting the 270 calories qualifying as a meal replacement. I am so serious about this.
@nappytdy08 congratulations on your weight loss success. Many of the tips that are given in the blood type diet are good tips that would work independent of blood type, regardless we are happy to hear you are doing well with it. Please let us know if you have any questions on the Perfect Meal, good luck.
Even with the "new and improved" taste, Raw Meal still tastes nasty. However, to steal a quote from an old Listerine ad, this is a "taste people hate...twice a day". Hide the taste with some berries or low sugar juices. The nutritional benefits of this product far outweigh any taste shortcomings. I feel noticeably better when I take this product vs. when I don't. If all else, hold your nose or gulp it down quickly so you don't notice the taste so much. It's worth the effort, believe me.
@samuellis it is not a very good tasting product, we have to agree. However it is good in terms of the ingredients. Try mixing in some frozen berries.
i love the RAW PROTEIN so thought i'd give this a go, it is seriously healthy. it tastes not to good but not awful, the thickness is as they mentioned. SO THIS IS WHAT I DO, i split it into four servings throughout the day, instead of 2 whole scoops i use half a scoop with about 250ml-300ml of water, almost the same as you use for two whole scoops, it's not thick and tastes more bland and watery, it is a lot more easier to tolerate and my body gets these nutrients 4 times throughout the day.
I just found out about this company today. I also just saw a video of the creator and i think the creator of this company is really a great guy and his products are very good from what i read.
@BestPriceNutrition nope it says improved flavor on the front and I just bought it 2 days before posting. I respect the product though and its the one im going to stick to because of its health benefits. I find drinking half a serving or less with a smoothie makes it better.
@nostolgia gotcha, yes even though it's improved it still is not the best tasting. Maybe you can try adding some frozen berries to help with the taste, so you can enjoy it not just for the health benefits but for the taste as well.
@Nicksilver101 you would definitely take your fish oil. Your multi-vitamin should still be taken however if you are not overly active and eat a lot fruits and veggies you can get by without it. Hope this helps.
I'm a personal trainer in Ireland , I'm interested in this product but my question is for both clients and myself, iv given up on protein supplement shakes for various reasons but does this product have any results on muscle building ??
I recently heard that Garden of Life products repeatedly fail for contamination, lack of quality, and lack of potency. Do you know anything about that?
@BestPriceNutrition consumerlab-com. I am trying to find a reputable company for my supplement needs. Harder that I thought. GoL did recall all their raw VIT C this week. It is published on their website as it contained undeclared soy proteins.
@zippi771 We spoke with Garden of Life and they said there were trace amounts of soy as the products were made in a facility where soy was being used. The amount was trace and Garden of Life voluntarily sent back the items, even though they were not required as the amount was so minute. Hope this helps.
I know this is healthy and all, but seriously....the WORST tasting thing I have ever had.
