Shakes/Meal Replacements

anharrison

I've lost 10lbs (who hoo) but have been stuck here for about two weeks. I'd like to try some protein shakes/meal supplement shakes for a week or so to give me a boost. Any suggestions or feedback if they work?

I only use them as a meal replacement or for after workout recovery. They really haven't affected my weight loss or my metabolism in any way.

If you're hitting a plateau make sure you're meeting your calorie goal and eating your exercise calories. You can also change up your exercise routine to get things going again.

I used them once for two weeks and some how I gained weight???? I must have been consuming less calories before then when I was drinking the drinks ???? I would say everyone has different experience's with them.

Watch what type of meal replacement shake you use. A lot have less calories but very high in sugar.

I use nitrocore24 blended with water (or you can use skim milk, but I'm trying to keep the calorie count down), a TBSP of honey, and ice. It's about 260 calories. You can sub the honey for Splenda/stevia,etc. The protein powder by itself is 200 cals, but only 2 g of sugar.

Im not a great fan, I would rather have a small calorie counted meal and feel that I have eaten and enjoyed something. I used to find that I would have the drink and still eat - I think you have to have good willpower with these !
