Thread: Meal replacement

Ok so im shite at diets, Ive dieted hard for a while now, had a few days off etc but on the hole done good. lost loads in week one and nothing since? Its proper wierd and doing my head in.


Whats your views on meal replacements? CNP do one I know, anyone else do any thats good?


Chris

No info on these?


Chris

i use this
Total MRP from Myprotein.co.uk

and sometimes this but with 2 scoops instead of 3
Total Gainer from Myprotein.co.uk

Are they filling? ie your not hungry quite quickly afterwards etc?


Thanks for advice!


Chris

yup, i use them as if i have a protein shake im hungry again within 30 mins, with these im not hungry again for around 2 hours, sometimes more, though sometimes less depending on what kind of a day im having lol

i used 2 use 2 a day,1 at 10am first work break...and 1 at 3pm another break....along with fruit perfect.

assuming you do not buy a cheap MRP they are all very similar - also depends on what you are after - i.e are you bothered about the vitamins and minerals that most have in em?, if not just get a good protein and carb drink and use that as a much cheaper alternative - even if you have a multi vit onto of this you will save alot of money - CNP Pro Mass would be my ccoice - re calories just add water or milk accordingly (2 scoops in water is roughly the same calories as the MRP's).

CNP Pro Mass 4 5kg

Cheers for info. The idea of these was to help me loose weight as im shocking with diets, but reading cals etc they dont seem they would be too good for it?

You need to diet a heck of a lot longer to than 2-3 weeks to notice actual tissue loss.

First week or two of dieting (presuming cutting out processed foods, lowered carb intake, reduced cals) will pretty much be water loss.

As for a meal replacement, Id go for myprotein because for me, I enjoyed the tasted, have quality ingredients and is cost effective compared to branded mrps.

Oh i would diet alot longer than 2 weeks, ive got 7 stone to loose.


Thing with my diet is ive dieted hard for about 3 weeks now and first week i lost quite a bit since then ive gained 4 pld. Very strange!

Plus the biggest thing is boredom and not knowing what to eat? ie once ive had chicken with rice or on its own, fish same as before i dont know what to have? And get proper pissed off.
