Right now I am drinking Max's Super Shred.... but is it the best? ME DON'T KNOW!

Any aussies out there willing to suggest any alternatives, please go right ahead.

    I'm making my own shakes out of natural yoghurt, milk, water, soft tofu, fruits, nuts,... There's no limit to the imagination.
    :wink:

    If I don't have time and need a protein boost - which is not very often - I use growing natural brown rice protein powder. Although the shop I buy it gets it from the USA, I think, nothing Australian about it... :huh:

    I only drink either Blackmores Pro Definition for women (cause I'm a woman) or Swisse slimshake.

    Which one do you feel is more satisfying? suppresses appetite and cravings?

    right now I'm drinking shakes through out the day and then having a proper dinner (meat with veggies)

    Oh yeah I should consume more natural stuff... however the amount of protein in these shakes I feel is helping me control my appetite. They are low in carbs as well so I am expecting to feel a lack of energy some time soon which isn't good cause I aim to exercise after work... Just had one peice of bread though so hopefully that helps ^_^

    Yeah those damn carbs... :sad: :grumble:
    My shakes (from growing natural) have 24gr of protein per serve, 4gr carbs (1gr sugar). That's a nice boost as well.

    I use bulk nutrients casein & whey. Both are good.

    Protein powder is a supplement which is to supplement whole foods ie. if you are aiming for 100g of protein and you are at 80g for the day then having a shake is a great idea if you can't be bothered cooking food.

    I've done what you are doing for a short period of time before and it didn't work out well as each time I would have a shake I'd get hungry for real food. I do better just fasting with zero cal liquids until my first real meal.
