whey isolate only???

there are many growth fractions you will be missing out on not eating real food
not to mention vitamin and mineral profiles

there is a reason they are called supplements
they are ment to supplement your diet, not be your diet
the lack of starches and fats will be bad for brain function, no fiber will reak havok on your digestive system

you can try it, but afterward you will be preaching the powers of whole foods

'do you have any idea of the differance in the rate of metabolism? so if metabolism is slower and you need less food you save money. and it takes less to maintain. how is this bad? if you are MAINTAINING. so then it would take less to build then correct?'

are you serious with this? if your thyroid is stagnating that means that it has low T3/TSH output. Thus your body becomes less and less efficient in metabolizing and assimilating energy. T3 is essential to metabolizing and synthesizing protein (muscle growth) as well as upkeeping normal function of your internal organs, and utilizing fat for energy (fat burning!!!!). The less productive it is, the more hypothyroidic you will become and then you will have script from a doc for synthetic triiodethyronine (T3) to spped up your metabolism. Is that what you want? Not to mention the rebound as, when you start eating more...welcome balloon city.

Whoa- bad karma thread.

I don' t think anyone should be angry with the answers they are getting-- especially if they are asking for them. If you don't like what you read, then read something else.

As for the shakes, I personally couldn't live off of shakes because A). I would have continous runs, B). No matter how much heavy cream, oats and p.b. I put into my shake, it still is digested too quickly, and C). I don't like things sweet-- and especially all the time. Do they make a salsa protein shake?
