I've always enjoyed fog. Maybe it's just my imagination, but it seems like things are quieter and more peaceful when there's fog.

How wonderful. Do you get to see them?

Summer storms have passed. My front porch always gets a lot of rain and dust on it. I live on the low side of the road and it is unmade, so it's a pain to clean.

I think the reason why it didn't come to mind is because Boost (and Ensure) have always been notoriously low in protein, more like milkshakes and sugar with some vitamins thrown in.

Before the energy drink changed names to Boost (and got remarketed), it was 12oz, 360 calories (approx 1/3 of a 1,000 calorie per day diet), and all 27 vitamins and minerals had 35% USRDA. Protein was 35% USRDA. It was started in the late 1960s under the name Nutrament, which was discontinued when Boost debuted.

When the name was changed to Boost, the size was reduced to 8oz with 240 calories, and all 27 vitamins and minerals plus protein each provided 25% USRDA. There was also a High Protein formula, and I don't recall the quantity, but I was past my peak fitness years and didn't feel I needed the extra protein. This formula and packaging continued for more than 20 years.

After the evil Nestle purchased the brand, it recently changed formula (in the past year or 2). Currently the protein is down to 20% with the same 240 calories. The current vitamins and minerals:

50% - vit E, vit C, chromium,
45% - vit B12,
40% - Riboflavin,
35% - vit B6, copper, manganese,
30% - vit D, zinc,
25% - Calcium, iron, vit K, thiamine, folate, biotin, pantothenic acid, iodine, magnesium, selenium, molybdenum,
20% - vit A, niacin, phosphorus,
10% - Potassium, chloride, choline


So, are you lying yet again? Are you talking out of your bung? Or do you really think that 35% protein is out of line with 35% for each of 27 vitamins and minerals, and 25% protein is out of line with 25% for each of 27 vitamins and minerals?




Sigs: I see now that the name Nutrament is resurrected, with 16g protein in 12oz can. I have not seen it in a store yet, and cannot find details about the formula, I want to find it now. Maybe you would want to try it. It has always had more flavors, now with new Eggnog and Mango, most of the other flavors were available in the 70s and 80s.

Boost original has

10g of protein, and no indication if it's 'complete' protein
37g of carbs, 15g of which are 'added sugars', and 0(zero) fiber

As I said, not enough protein and of uncertain quality, and far too much sugar - like a milkshake with some vitamins and minerals thrown in.

I don't think I have ever seen a fridge on wheels, regardless of size or application. That would be weird. The key factor for fridges is to have self closing doors, drawers - so leveling is critical, otherwise gravity does not closed and seal the doors. Maybe chest freezers, with a top lid - but I don't recall seeing that either. Refrigerant systems do not fare well with lots of movement, due to the sediment dislodging and jamming up the insides. This is why used fridges and freezers need to be kept level upright when moving.

I have nothing against sweeteners per se, I don't think they're poison, but it's off-puttingly sweet, so I'll probably will continue with my milk+whey+ natural sweetener and fill in with 1/2 bottles of the other stuff to round out my protein to 50-60g/day and continue with squats since my thighs seem to be the weakest. I'll take a big hit next Friday and be down for 2 weeks but should recover steadily after that.

Managed to walk the dog a bit around the corner and do some bathroom tidying and cleaning,

Dog is on a new diet too: raw meat, organ meat, veggies, bone meal etc and sheseems to appreciate it. She was pogoing around today looking for lizards today like a puppy!

What I posted was BOOST - ORIGINAL FORMULA.

I got introduced to BOOST over 3 decades ago when a family member was trying to help their elderly relative eat better. They happened on BOOST, but a while later noticed that it contained a whole lot of carbs, and not a lot of protein. So they stopped using it because it just wasn't good nutrition.

And, yep - it's that same old 'original formula' Boost I remember so well from so many years ago (and that YOU recommended). It still has a lot of carbs, and still not enough protein (and no guarantee that protein is complete, and still no fiber or essential fats).


BTW, if something is going to be 'complete' it needs to have everything in the same proportion. If it has 25% of vitamins and minerals, it should also have 25% of protein, 25% of fiber, and 25% of essential fats. An average adult needs about 50 grams of complete protein a day. (Women roughly 45g, men roughly 55g.) But ill people, injured people, and old people need a lot more protein - up to 100g a day. So if Boost wants to claim to be complete - and cover men - a serving(can) that has 25% RDA vitamin and minerals needs at a minimum roughly 15g of complete protein per serving(can) - or - doing the math - 50% more than original formula. And it also needs 25% of essential fats, and fiber.

Aren't you the one who recommended ORIGINAL FORMULA BOOST? Yanno - the one with only 10g of protein per bottle?

Do you still stand by your faulty opinion?

hmmmmm.
Other than Kiki blathering out of her bung, I've never heard controversy about Boost.
I looked up your Premiere Protein. It seems to claim 24 vitamins and minerals, much of which are less than 10%, and less than 5%, and even less than 1%. If you really need 60% of your Recommended Daily Allowance of protein in liquid form and actually believe it will be absorbed in that form, then perhaps 30g is what you need. But the primary factor I saw was sucralose.
If I had any doctor who advised me to consume the poison sucralose, for any reason, I would drop that doctor.
If you want to proclaim that sucralose is not poison, then please stop beating around the bush and plainly state so, so I can stop typing to enlighten you.
Sucralose is a trichlirinate. Engineered, designed, created, and manufactured to be poison, engineered to kill living things, a pesticide. After creation, it was found to be 600 times sweeter than sugar, so they decided to pour it directly into human foods. It consists of the poisonous 3 molecules of chlorine mashed together with 1 molecule of sugar. Manufactured by industrial chemical facilities, they make plenty of profits by poisoning humans.

If you need more protein, feel free to try Boost High Protein. I have tried it previously. When training athletes, amateur and professional, I have suggested trying it to see if they found it beneficial. None of us have been vegetarians. We got our protein from meat. With that level of energy consumption, hunger for meat was never short.


There are a bunch of websites I should list here, but I can't do that now.

I highlighted the part where I said I have nothing against sweeteners.

AFA whether Boost was introduced in 1991 v 1994 ... someone is remembering something from 30 years ago! I'm surprised KIKI got the date that close! ALL of my doctors have said: NO SUGAR. That's one thing they all agree on.

I don't understand something about the formulation: it sayd 37 grams carbs, only 15 grams sugar, but no fiber. Where do the remaining 22 g of carbs come from? Isn't cellulose gum a fiber? Something seriously whacked there!

No sugar? Do they think you are allergic to sugar? Are these doctors 12? Are these diversity hire doctors? With doctors like that, no wonder they told you to drink poison. Good luck.

Never thought I'd say this, but it's too sweet! Probably has a crapton of sweetener in it. Don't know what, haven't looked at the ingredients yet. Good thing I didn't get a lot.

I have nothing against sweeteners per se, I don't think they're poison, but it's off-puttingly sweet, so I'll probably will continue with my milk+whey+ natural sweetener and fill in with 1/2 bottles of the other stuff to round out my protein to 50-60g/day and continue with squats since my thighs seem to be the weakest. I'll take a big hit next Friday and be down for 2 weeks but should recover steadily after that.

Managed to walk the dog a bit around the corner and do some bathroom tidying and cleaning,

and make a big salad for dinner - lettuce, spinach, tomato, cucumber, celery, some leftover green onions, shredded leftover parmesan (from Jan1), leftover cubed chicken, cubed ham, hardboiled egg, shaved red pepper on top. I couldn't eat it, but it sure looked tasty!

Dog is on a new diet too: raw meat, organ meat, veggies, bone meal etc and sheseems to appreciate it. She was pogoing around today looking for lizards today like a puppy!

hmmmmm.
Other than Kiki blathering out of her bung, I've never heard controversy about Boost.
I looked up your Premiere Protein. It seems to claim 24 vitamins and minerals, much of which are less than 10%, and less than 5%, and even less than 1%. If you really need 60% of your Recommended Daily Allowance of protein in liquid form and actually believe it will be absorbed in that form, then perhaps 30g is what you need. But the primary factor I saw was sucralose.
If I had any doctor who advised me to consume the poison sucralose, for any reason, I would drop that doctor.
If you want to proclaim that sucralose is not poison, then please stop beating around the bush and plainly state so, so I can stop typing to enlighten you.
Sucralose is a trichlorinate. Engineered, designed, created, and manufactured to be poison, engineered to kill living things, a pesticide. After creation, it was found to be 600 times sweeter than sugar, so they decided to pour it directly into human foods. It consists of the poisonous 3 molecules of chlorine mashed together with 1 molecule of sugar. Manufactured by industrial chemical facilities, they make plenty of profits by poisoning humans.

If you need more protein, feel free to try Boost High Protein. I have tried it previously. When training athletes, amateur and professional, I have suggested trying it to see if they found it beneficial. None of us have been vegetarians. We got our protein from meat. With that level of energy consumption, hunger for meat was never short.


There are a bunch of websites I should list here, but I can't do that now.

It’s true that research has raised some concerns. Yet scientists haven’t found any direct negative health effects in people who consume sucralose long-term. That’s true both for healthy people and those with diabetes.

“While sucralose may cause problems at higher doses, most people consume nowhere near that amount,” says Patton. “If you enjoy sucralose occasionally and in moderation, it isn’t likely to have a major effect on your health.”
