  • Hello, I realized a huge improvement in weight loss and tone after upping my protein intake to a goal of 40% per day. I think it's the single most important part of my diet (and often overlooked by many). A high quality shake mix is key, and I think your choice is fine.

I have learned to bypass all of the chips, and my restaurant fixes a grilled chicken platter (about 8-10 oz) with grilled vegetables (about 2 cups) (basically a deconstructed fajita).
