Carb counting

[CheapPinz]

After being in a slump for nearly a year, its time to get back in shape. Not just average american shape, but "wow that person must be taking drugs" in shape. Being more dedicated with my exercise is an obvious necessity, but modifying the diet is something I think many get wrong. I'm reading an adkins for life book and its got some good points. The difficulty is finding things that taste good and that are easy to prepare. I wonder if most of you guys supplement protein with shakes either in place of meals or in addition..I'm considering dropping a meal for a shake and really focusing on not cheating. Anyone got some good do's and don't?

no more than 2 shakes per day. I rather get my protein from real foods. Keto has worked well for a few peeps with 1 cheat meal a week to keep your sanity.

I have 3 shakes a day, but to each his own.... Also, I am in Canada so I use a site called Dreamfields Pasta, Shirataki Noodles, Atkins Canada & other Low Carb Products :: The Low Carb Grocery Store It has plenty of low cab stuff... I get like 12 loaves of bread all the time.. the one I use works out to 1 impact carb per slice...Tons of fiber. sure it's not the best tasting bread in the world but it satisfies..I also do one cheat meal a wk... "cheat meal, not cheat day!"... Good luck!

I think the shakes are all about convenience and personal preference. If I'm cutting, I prefer the real food but for bulking or short on time etc a shake is great. Are you leaning towards low carbs?

This is the best advice i can give.

I have one to two shakes per day, but they are always IN ADDITION TO my already planned meals, never substitutes. For bulking purposes anyways.

I myself am not cutting right now... In fact i'm doing a lean bulk. However, when I cut I low carb it all the way. it's what works best for me.
