Protein Diets

[Mayrah]

Anyone have experiences with em? I want to order these Whey shakes with flavours for a month and mix em up with a bit of cardio on my crosstrainer.

I currently weigh 174 pounds -79kg and i would like to get to 154 pounds - 70kg atleast with the help of it.



ps: Im not really a sporty person :wiggle:

Pop over to London and we can do some horizontal jogging. Far more fun.

I went on one about 5 years ago, called Lighter Life, Mayrah. Tightly controlled and not cheap (until you discount all the ordinary food you would have consumed instead) but it really worked. Lost 32 kilos in just over four months.

Here's the website. http://www.lighterlife.co.uk Good luck.

I know that there's plenty of justified caution about some of these diets, Sammi, but not this one. All you eat is their high concentration protein products, absolutely nothing else, plus a min of 4 litres of water a day and black tea or coffee. You are given a personal counsellor to supervise your progress, and most important of all, you have to get your GP's ok to start AND have a monthly check with them too. Essentially you get a quick and impressive start by in the end metabolising your own fat. I lost 20 lbs in just over the first two weeks. It's that encouraging start that keeps you going. And I felt fantastic all the way through - it heightens your senses and makes you feel good.

But jogging is fine too. Best thing for us here in East Anglia and presumably for Mayrah in the Netherlands too is that it's all pretty flat lol.

Some of their products contain whey, but there's a lot more to it than that.

There are soups, shakes and bars. It's obviously not for you, sweety, but it might work for Mayrah, and it certainly did for me.

We are both coming from different angles here. lets go feed the ducks instead!

True, they are used for bodybuilders and such, but i do not workout so i do not gain any muscle mass with it. :D So i thought with cardio and the diet, i would be better off losing weight before i start with hormones.

And yeah, it really sucks if you cannot gain weight even if you eat everything you want all day long >.<

Do please check it out - as a wee favour to me, if you would please.

[Mayrah]

I just did and checked few more pages, but something like that is not for me.

OK, thanks. Good luck anyway.

You could always try this lol. http://www.arch2arc.com Run from Marble Arch in London to Dover, swim the English Channel, then cycle from Calais to Paris.

An RAF officer was the first female to do it last weekend.

[Mayrah]

lol, thats insane!

[robertlouis]

lol, thats insane!

I had a British girl who worked for me in the US who used to do four or five ironman triathlons a year. She was certainly fit - and very pretty - but not musclebound in any sense.

Wal Mart sells a GrEAT protein shake... called Six Stars... Half of price and also awesome in content!

I haven't read all the post so I dont know if somebody recommended it or what, but I highly recommend taking some Hydroxycut if you trying to tread some pounds. Since Im naturally skinny I dont need to take it, but I've tooken a small sample bottle once before, probably enough for like a few weeks, because it came free with a workout supplement I bought, and DAMN, I did see results quick! Of course though I was training and workout hours everyday at that time and stayed away from too much fatty foods

It's a bit complex. If you only eat protein you will lose some weight at first. But you'll also start feeling tired. This is why a lot of people who started Atkins gave up (and gained it all back). You also need vitamins, fiber and other nutrients. Lastly, you need some healthy fats in your life. Fish oil and the like. See if you can't find a decent nutritionist. If not, check out Tim Ferris's book, The 4 Hour Body, or his online blog. I've lost about 7 inches off my waist using his techniques with almost no exercise...

The best part of what he writes is that he gives you a free day (it actually helps prevent cheating.)

And you know what I eat on my free day?
