it sounds strange) protein which as 15g of
protein in a singel ounce.

If you need a lot of protein in a small
volume pro-stat delivers a big bang. But
why do you want to replace meals. In
fact, you should eat smaller meals more
often. This keeps you metabolism up.
Cutting meals slows the metabolism.
Are you planning a gastric bypass surgery?
Talk to your doctor about your diet and
exercise. Everyone is different and
need different plans
good luck

I would not suggest drinking protein
shakes if you want to lose weight...
Usually body builders drink thoes to gain
bulk... If you want to lose weight using
the atkins approach (which I think is what
you want to do. ) then I would suggest
eating 5 small meals a day of protein rich
foods (luch meats are great, low carb
bars, chicken, hamburger meat)
if you want to use the shakes I would
recommend the slim fast ones (they came
with a low carb drink)
just drink a lot of water, exercise, and
stay away from starchy foods. I would
really recommend you reading the atkins
book.
Good luck.

i agree. Protein shakes will build muscle
if you are working out a lot, especially
doing a lot of strength training. But if
you are looking to lose weight, protein
shakes may not be the way to go.

A protein supplement is nearly always
positive, unless you have kidney problems.
Now a protein shake is not the same as a
mass shake. A mass shake would contain
high amounts of carbs and a calorie base
of around 1000-1200 calories. A protein
shake would offer a chain of proteins
(whey,milk caseinate,etc) and would be
around 100-225 calories. Remember it is
very difficult for your body to store
protein as fat.
Also remember that there is no such thing
as maintaining. Your body is constantly
in transition. The loss of lean mass is
the biggest step in a slower metabolism,
atrophy. The more lean muscle, the more
calories you burn watching tv.
I've trained men and women from fitness
competitions to mr. Mid-west states.
There is a big difference between muscle
tone and bulk. As long as you are not
lifting weights 2-3x your current body
weight you are not going to swell out like
arnold. Besides those guys are taking
more than protein shakes.
I suggest a shake known as muscle milk as
it also contains your lean fats, and
tastes great.
