Last week I switched to Shotgun and Synthesize for my pre and post workout drinks. I was using creatine and twinlab ripped fuel... and having two scoop Body Fortress Protein shake afterwards with Almond Milk.
I have also replaced my morning shake with a syntrax nectar fat/carb free protein shakes in water.
I have dropped four pounds in a week.
I knew I was taking in about seven hundred extra calories a day with the shakes, but, I wanted to make sure I didn't starve my muscles.
I have shaved almost 500 of those calories back off.
It is amazing what just 500 calories per day will do for you...
Now, I know that a week at 500 calories per day only equals one pound. But, the shotgun has really amped my weight lifting.... so, I am able to go heavier and longer.... thus... burning more calories.
Anyways, today, did 40 minutes of cardio....
Food intake, two pieces peanut butter toast, glass of milk, protein shake.
I am out of fruit now as well as nuts.... so, it looks like an all vegetable snack day...... Carrots and tomatoes...oh, and I have a grapefruit.... so thats good.
All in all, I am satisfied with my progress.... but would still like to be bigger, leaner, faster...... Who doesn't?
