Living off just meal replacment products even just for 2 weeks has to be terrible for your digestive system . The body needs solid food even if it is just 1 meal a day. IP: Logged |

I don't think that is a good idea, but if it works for him. I personally would get so sick of shakes that just the smell of them would make me sick. I also like real food and belive that eating clean food is the key to getting in shape. IP: Logged |

you need real food or your digestive system will be out of whack. drinking a lot of shakes gives you constant diarrhea and makes bowel movements irregular. when training for a show, my trainer cuts all mrps out of my diet. he says solid food hardens you up more and is lower in sodium - don't know if this is necessarily true, you might look into it, but what is true is that it's nice not to shit water every two hours.

Your body is NOT designed to assimilate 8-10 mrps a day!! You need at least 1 or 2 food meals per day for healthy digestive function.I think that guy will get really sick someday because of those packs!! J IP: Logged |

ripped to shreads2, Does your friend mix them with water, juice, milk,or something else? I would imagine that mixing w/ different juices would add some variety of flavor. IP: Logged |

Hi, Ok this one is intresting for me I work dureing the day 9 to 5 and find its hard to get a decent meal without paying about �6 to �10 at lunch so i get a couple of fresh bread rolls and fill them with chicken and other foodstuffs and eat every 3 hours and have a shake with that then I have a good meal when i get home I also have a good breakfast Its working for me but i would not be happy on chemical replacements like megamass and powerbars etc it cant be good for your body...! I also eat loads of fruit about 6 bananas a day I love em...! I do think that meal replacements should be used with solid food rather than alone..! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Having the majority of calorie consumption come from MRPs is a marvel idea. Assuming the MRP is fortified with top quality ingredients, you are actually consuming better calories then Solid Food. You don�t get a heavy, bloated feeling caused by solid waste. So you always feel lighter and tighter. A carb is a carb and a gram of protein and fate is a gram of protein and fat. Your body digests solid food into a liquid anyway. You�re just saving yourself the trouble by drinking your nutrients. That isn�t to say a mourning meal moderate in fiber wouldn�t help. The numbers are better anyway; Solid Foods(Weekly Bill) 2 2lb. London Broil = $20.00 Good Quality MRP (Weekly Bill via. Netrition.com {Internet}) 3 20 Pack Box MRP = $90.00 ------------------ IP: Logged |

That's way too much processed food, which will digest very quickly, therefore not all nutrients will be absorbed. Your GI tract will not like this and you will most likely end up with irregularity. Most MRPs have a lot of sodium as well. I try to eat at least 3-4 solid meals and 2-3 MRPs with added protein powder. This way I get about 200 grams of protein from MRPs plus all the protein from my three or four normal meals which easily adds up to over 300 grams of protein. This allows me to get all the protein I need and only have to prepare 3-4 meals per day. ------------------ IP: Logged |

All you have to do is add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Psyllium Powder in your blender or shaker with your MRP. No more runs!! IP: Logged |

OK, there is at least one, if not more, resons why this is not a good idea and I can sum it up in one word: fiber. Fiber is something that you get from real food and it is absolutely necessary to maintain proper digestive fuction. I have doen this myself and know it is true. The problem is that when you start eating normal again, you will get intense stomach pain and probably diarea. This happened to me. MRP's are not meant to substitute food totally. They are meant to be taken several times a day when you don't have the time to eat right. I have made this mistake before and will never do it again. Eat your MRPs between regular meals and you will maintain proper digetive system health. BTW, tell this guy that this is not a healthy thing to do. I guess you could take a fiber supplement several times a day and you probably won't have any problems. But I would recommend against it. Peace...Mav IP: Logged |

Don't forget about all of the phytochemicals and natural anit-cancer agents that are found in fresh fruits and veggies. Your friend may look good now but how is he going to look when he ages and has some type of cancer. I read a study reciently that said that cancer is more a fact of life style than genetics. Your friend needs some produce!!! IP: Logged |

Hey primo man is back too, nice to see you and luca, what's up? Anyway I gotta agree with you bros, all mrp's is defintely a bad idea. You gotta have your green veggies everyday, fruit too. Besides wouldn't mrp's be considered a processed food? We all know about processed foods, avoid as much as possible. I have found that on occasssion, fi cheat day was a little heavy, 1 day of liquid meals helps to flush me out, but I would not stick to only mrp's, i will usually have some chicken broth or something like that for 2 meals. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I have tried this before. Doo't pass gas to hard..heh heh... Seriously, YOU NEED REAL FOOD. I was so damn hungry in week two I couldn't see straight.... Adding a piece of fruit or a small snack with the MRP helps your body absorb it better. ------------------ IP: Logged |
