My own whey protein shake diet recipe to lose that 40 pounds
Replies

guys, let me make this clear. I am not telling what you guys should be doing. If you guys wish to eat solid foods to lose that 40 pounds, then I am fine with that. Also, as for the iron topic, according to nutrition data, a half a cup of dry quick oats equals 10% of the daily amount of iron, which means that 3 times that is 30%, not that 12-14% number that the guy said. I found that out earlier but I did not want to make it a big deal. I asked for people's comments on this plan and I guess I got it.0

The calcium in the milk will prevent the absorption of iron from the oats.0 -
The reason why it is a good idea to eat 1500 calories is so that your metabolism will not slow down as much.It is better to lose that weight slowly with a fast metabolism than to have a slow metabolism(due to a big decrease in calories being taken) by the time you reach your goal, which would then make you gain back your weight you lost very easily if you eat normally again.
with your diet this will happen regardless becasue you are losing muscle along with fat...
you want compliments on this? forget it...I will eat my 1700 caloires in real food and get my macros hit.
Wouldn't the 120 grams of protein that you would gain from the diet help maintain your muscle while you lose those 40 pounds? I am no expert in this but maybe you are right.
so to get all my protien I would have to drink 6 of those shakes...what about my fats? iron? etc...
This is a pi$$ poor diet..admit it. You may lose weight but at what cost...
And since like most people I like food...real food...and this would be an expensive diet...even at walmart 252g is 22$ that is a day with 6 shakes never mind the cost of everything else...I have to feed 2 big men in my house along with me...
No thanks...
But since I don't think this is an actual serious post I am just gonna watch now.0 -
Trollolololol
This is such a stupid diet plan, i admit I love my morning shakes, but I also love eating real food!0 -
thisi s a horrible idea…if I just drank three shake a day I would be starving all the time …
Protein shakes are not meant to be meal replacement shakes..
why can't someone just eat 1500 calories of real food and lose weight?
why do I need these magical shakes?
The recipe that I have is no ordinary protein shake.
from your original post:
1 cup of 1% milk
1 scoop of chocolate whey protein
1/2 cup of Quaker quick oats
1 medium banana
^ that sounds pretty ordinary to me…
Please explain which ingredient is "extra ordinary"….
Does it contain some magical property that I am not aware of?
i am starting to sense a troll ….
When I hear protein shake, I think of a drink that doesn't touch on all the nutrients needed to survive. I say that this is no ordinary shake because I believe it does touch on all the nutrients. I am no troll, I just wanted people's opinions.0 -

we are correcting the record so some newb does not come in here and think that is a legitimate plan ..
if you want to drink your magical concoction three times a day..then knock yourself out..However, me thinks you are going to be a starving, miserable person, and eventually you are going to do some serious binging..or at the end of this process you are going to put half of the weight that you lose back on ..
My dad tried something like this for two weeks and he was so weak he would get dizzy spells and went back to eating real food.0 -
Sounds alright for a breakfast, but then again I'd rather have it in it's constituent parts - porridge, banana and protein shake.
And 1500 is not enough food for me, I'd be gnawing my arms off after about 3 days.0 -
At only 30% of your daily iron value you are still missing 70% a day. Malnutrition is a big problem when a good variety of foods are not consumed. Will you lose weight? Sure. Could you also end up anemic with scurvy? Very possibly. For me to lose 40 lbs on these shakes at 1500 calories per day it would take me about 40 weeks.....9 months. How would anyone be able to survive 40 weeks drinking nothing but these shakes? I would die in the gym and get sick all the time. I think most people want to eat solid food. And it isn't like a person can't get 120 grams of protein or more eating solid food. I accomplish it most days without the use of a plain protein drink. Protein shakes are great as a quick source of protein when you need it. The body needs the variety of nutrients from a wider source of foods.0

Still less than a third of your RDA for Iron. My point stands.0 -
Thank you for "inventing" this recipe that nobody with a can of protein powder and a blender has ever thought of before. After 25 years of weight watching, I really look forward to trying every super-restrictive weight loss method that I read about on the Internet! Especially those created by people just like me with no nutritional background.
OK, enough sarcasm. Your plan is just weird.0 -

If you're interested in meal replacements OP, check out Soylent as an idea, and see how yours stacks up against it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_(food_substitute)0

This has got to be trolling hasn't it? Please tell it's a troll otherwise I fear for our planet0

Lets see what we have here on the assumption this is to be drank three times a day
Calories: 1530
Carbs: 210g
Protein: 129g
Fats: 18g (Its worth noting to a degree that almost all these fats bar 1 or 2g are all Sats)
Vit A: 33% RDA
Vit C: 51% RDA
Calcium: 138% RDA
Iron: 66% RDA
Fiber: 24g
Potassium: 1266mg
(Note the RDA above is based roughly on the MFP so might not be accurate down to the very percantage)
Not nearly enough Vit A, C or Iron, the split is just plain wierd 59% of your daily intake is Carbs, 36% is Protein and Fats make up 5%. Let alone a whole host of other vits, mins & other oils missing from this shake I'm not even going to bother listing. I could most definatly see some sort of illness/ailments as a result of following this all day every day on a long term basis. I'd most definatly tell everyone who is new and might read this thread and somehow take it seriously to ignore it.0 -
Any compliments?
Nope.0 -

I have a friend that drinks whey protein shakes for breakfast and lunch . She eats whatever she wants for dinner. She also stopped drinking carbonated beverages. She lost 38ibs in 2 months. She looks great!! I tried it for 2 weeks and now cringe at the thought of making a shake for breakfast. I need variety.0

I'd much rather drink the same drink three times a day than have variety in my diet. Said no-one ever!
So true!
You are missing the point, it is all about convenience. Plus, who doesn't like chocolate?
I don't. Can't stand the smell or taste. Blech!0 -

This is what you said...check the nutrional facts just because you "believe" doesn't make it fact.0 -
