Nutrition on cycle question

reptone

Active member
Has anyone here ever tried an all shake(whey protein with added carbs, waxy maize, oats, etc)diet and if so, did it help with growing/cutting? My thoughts are if I get all the protein I need but restrict calories a bit I can grow(M-Drol) and get hard and tight by controlling the fat which will be mostly peanut butter and yogurt in the shakes. Thoughts? Comments?
 
whole food protein sources are always nice, but as long as you get in your fiber vitamins minerals anti oxidents, i personally dont see why not. the bioavailability is much better too! however you may want to get a little less protein per shake due to the great bioavailability of whey at each meal

Exactly what I was hoping to hear.
 
a lot of vitamin supps can only be absorbed when taken with whole foods(i believe this has to do with the certain ph of whole foods, but don't quote me on it)--however i know for a fact that calcium needs whole foods(milk, oj, etc) with it to be used by the body and that acidic things like fruit and oj work really well, thats why they commonly put calcium in oj of all things.

-on another note, bcaa's work great for myself when im cutting, just a suggestion
 
i'm not trying to be negative, just as long as you don't completely live off of protein shakes you'll be golden, i very commonly use a protein shake or meal replacement shake to substitute for lunch or dinner and i'm alive and kicken lol

-i used shakes for meals very commonly when doing a recomp with Havoc and i gained about ten pounds of muscle when all was said and done
 
whole food has a thermic effect....your body actually burns calories while breaking it down....your not going to get this from things like waxy and whey isolates....its honestly better to find the happy medium....imo....i do three whole food meals and three shakes....plus a shake in the middle of the night....
 
I think I`ll try it for a week to see if I start shedding fat. I`ll do 30 mg of M-Drol, 6 DCP tabs 100 mg fish oil and 5 shakes(about 300 calories each) making sure to get enough oatmeal and fruit in there to have whole food to digest.Also make the shakes with skim milk or OJ/pineapple juice as opposed to water.

I`ve dropped a LOT of fat in the last few months. I am at about 225 wanting to be a solid $200. I tend to lose more fat when lifting heavy rather than cardio.
 
not talking about your lifting....i know 110 lbs figure girls that diet with more than 1500 cals....sounds like your gonna lose a lot of muscle to me....
