Whizz Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Does anyone use them? Looking to lose a bit of body fat and looking at using them as a meal replacement option rather than an energy source for training. My mate has recommended one that is slow energy release and he has just emailed me 4 pdf files with a shit load of diet plans to go with it. He is a personal trainer/strength and conditioning coach so knows his stuff and its all legal for an international athlete. Just wondered what insights some of you lot have had with them. Diddles Barms don't need to be mentioned. Quote

Sweep Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 You should send a PM to Frandsen08 he'll sort you out Quote
Garrp Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Don't listen to what I say as I don't know But I thought using them as a meal REPLACEMENT was a definite no? Quote
Sweep Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 I think you're right Garrp, they're a supplement not a replacement Quote
Whizz Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 He did say take some food with it to be fair, just not pudding, chips, gravy and a quid breakfast barm. Quote

Moderators Carlos Posted August 5, 2013 Moderators Posted August 5, 2013 If I've done weights, I'll have a casein shake at bedtime. They thicken up and take hours to digest. Immediately after weights, I have a whey shake. The banana 90+ I'm on at the moment is nice. You can also mix it into Greek yogurt to make an Angel Delight. Also, rather than snack at work, I've got some protein oatmeal bars. Quote

Moderators Carlos Posted August 5, 2013 Moderators Posted August 5, 2013 Loads of people do big tubs, mine's Optimum Nutrition that I got from Xercise4less on a 3 for 2. Have a look on musclefinesse.com or there's a shop on Gt Moor St. Quote
Sweep Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 You can get the big tubs from Decathlon near Sainsbury in town as well Quote
Moderators Horwich Posted August 5, 2013 Moderators Posted August 5, 2013 Nutri centre at tesco is where you want to be. Ask for matt Quote
KP Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Don't bother with them as a meal replacement mate, always opt for proper food as your first call. As said before, whey protein for after your weights session and casein at other times for a slow release of protein. They aren't vital though, just use them as a supplement to what your already getting. They can be expensive so it's up to you if you want to be buying the stuff. Quote

kent_white Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 If you've no underlying medical issues and you eat a healthy, balanced diet, there is no need to take ANY supplements unless you're working at the level of an elite athlete. Although you may argue that you are! :-) Quote
Guest Frandsen08 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 I'd always reccomend against there are more positive and beneficial diets that will help,they just take a little longer but you will feel better for them. Feel free to drop me a pm anytime. Quote

exiledwhite2 Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Without being sarcastic, just eat properly. It needn't be rocket science either. Given you're English you probably need to eat less carbohydrate, drink less alcohol and sugary drinks, eat more veg. You probably get too little protein, but that varies from person to person, depends how much meat is in your diet already. And it sounds like you don't plan to exercise - you'll only achieve so much through diet. You need to get both right or you're pissing in the wind. Quote
