I was going to post this in my weight loss thread but I thought it might get lost in there.

Several folks have mentioned to me I should look in to protein shakes.

I don't have the first clue about them.

I wouldn't use protein shakes to lose weight
I've never found them to take a place of a meal
but I've tried to put on weight, not lose it, so what do I know?

I wouldn't bother with liquid food when trying to lose weight. You're just setting yourself up to be more hungry, as liquids do not stay in your stomach as long as solids and your body doesn't recognize the calories ingested as well. Better to throw some useful plants on a pile of grilled meat and sit down and eat a lot of that.

If you know how to be a hardcore dieter then they are perfect.

Just replace a meal with them and you get all your protein.

I mean fighting food cravings.

Your going to be hungry when trying to lose weight. You might as well admit it.

The thing is though the hungers pains eventually go away in about 2 weeks.

Your body has to adjust.

Taking out 1 meal a day and subbing it with a protein shake or slim fast is definetely the way to go.


I have a whole diet plan that i've done on my own and lost 75 pounds. If anyone is interested i'll post it.

But the thing is just climbing on that horse and not getting off. Now I feel like I can lose 15 or 20 pounds when ever I want because i've seen success.


BTW I highly reccomend the protein shakes on a diet.

You should be cutting calories so getting more protein is a good thing considering its an essential for your body to operate.

Leave it to me to take the low road.

Oh, the road I would have taken would have probably been lower. I was trying to make it a little less....graphic! :p:
