diet pills and protein shake

Hey
Ive never took diet pills but i know protein helps. It helps if you dont get your protein intake for the day. I just get my protein from wal mart. Its cheap and it does the same thing as the proteins at the GNC. The only difference is your paying 50 bucks compared to 15.

Diet pills are bogus unless you are trying to cut from 5% body fat down to 4% for a body building competition otherwise you can burn more calories by doing anything.

Protein however is fantastic. With protein you get what you pay for, most brands are not regulated or lab tested so they may say you are getting XXg of carbs when you are getting a lot more and XXg protein when you are getting a lot less. Dymatize Nutrition, Optimum Nutrition are both tested in labs to be what they claim to be, because they are used by competitive athletes. ON has some delicious flavors and don't let the price scare you pound for pound this is the cheapest easiest way to get good quick protein.

I usually dont have time in the mornings to make breakfast & this is great.

I'm sorry but I find it really difficult to believe that preparing a shake takes less time than making a bowl of cereal

Well knowing that will save me some money. I'm trying to think of supermarkets round my way that have protein shake i'm sure a few do.

Buy online they are usually cheaper and you can pick from every flavor that is offered

i think it's all hype. A lot of diet pills are really just based on caffeine. Caffeine suppresses your appetite, acts as a laxative, and can pep you up for a decent workout! But save yourself money and just drink a cup o' joe!

Some, like acai berry, may have some value as super rich in nutrients (the raw foodies call these "super foods" and it includes many things, like maca, raw cacoa, goji berries, wheatgrass juice, etc.) but not something that is going to magically peel off the pounds. I personally like some of these foods from my raw foodie days and it makes me chuckle to see the new acai berry fad- like it just got discovered or something.

Protein shakes are great for hitting your macros (carb/fat/protein ratio) especially if you don't eat meat. But I think if you do eat meat, you may be better off eating fish or lean chicken than eating a highly processed powder (I drink lots of shakes because I'm a vegetarian and tofu is only tolerable so much).

The only way to really succeed is to eat healthy and get exercise. You can use some of these supplements/items, but you can also do just fine without them!

Good luck!

Pills: I have taken OxyElite Pro and Hydroxycut. Of course they arent miracle pills, but both have done what they said they would do which is increase energy and focus along with appetite supression. I am taking Hydroxycut Hardcore Xtreme rt now. I am def more focused and energetic at work (No 2pm tired feeling) and it also makes my body temp increase. I can literally feel the heat inside my clothes about an hour after dose. I also drink tons of water daily and urinate frequently which cuts water weight. Personally I like the stuff. As far as protein, I have taken all kinds. 10 years ago Myoplex was the only way I could gain weight. I went from 160 to ab 200 my Junior/Senior years of High school. Right now I am taking Monster Milk. (The chocolate is the best tasting shake I have ever tried) Drinking 1 - 2 shakes daily is about the only way I can my required protein dose for the day. I have been taking Nitrotech for the past 3 years and I can tell it helps with my workout recovery time and soreness.

skip the pills, but invest in a good shake. The higher amount of protein will help cur your hunger too.
