Freaking diet is paying off in spades

[Turd Ferguson]

Last week I broke 200lbs. I am at 198. I traveled all last week and thought I may gain but went in Friday and just stayed level. It works kinda weird with the weight loss. one week I will stay the same, then the next loose like 3 or 4. Jumped right back into the diet this weekend.

I am also seeing a lot more definition. I am looking at maybe getting some protein shakes going. Not sure what the benefit will be besides keeping my metabolism up. Pipe up with your suggestions. If I can get to 185 in the next few months I will be really impressed with my self. That’s 11 more pounds. I haven't weighed under 200 in 20 years. It's amazing what a little hard work can do.

drink protein after you work out for a maximum anabolic effect....more muscle means more fat burning

Adding protien shakes to get 5-6 meals in per day (really hard with just whole foods) will increase your metabolism... that's benefit enough.

Plus.... if you are trying to build muscle - you're going to need the extra protien - it's unlikely you are getting enough protien from your whole food diet.

Oh... and ur PHAT.

How's the new girl? Spill it.

I prefer to eat my food & only drink Protein shakes PWO.....but it's up to you....a lot of people drink them in order to get in all the grams of protein they need per day....

Basically the brown rice and chicken diet plan. Actually counting calories to keep it around 3000 per week and working out 4-5 times a week. Cardio every day I work out. Trying to burn about 1000 calories a week.

Yes... there is no direct correlation between consuming protien shakes and weight loss. Of course not, they are simply MORE CALORIES.

To loose weight you have to be on a calorie deficit, plane and simple.

See my other posts... protien shakes are part of the overall plan. And - what JB said.. when you increase your Lean Body Mass you are increasing your Basal Metabolic Rate which means your body is going to burn more calories on it's on each day.

I have some good results in muscle building but want more (of course). New girl is o.k. We had a but of a make out session before I left for CA. It was weird. Not sure i'm into it. We are both f'd in the head I think. What about your hair cut girl?
