much appreciated if you can take this horrible bloated feeling away |
you would need a supplement which was a direct (or better) replacement for a meal you would normally eat! and that depends on the macronutrient profile of the meal your substituting.
bear in mind also that many MRPs etc are digested much faster than whole foods so it may be that you have to leave less of a gap between them and your next meal.
i have a mate who basically drinks all his meals... Protein/carbs drinks... he is a fantastic bodybuilder and physique wise has the potential to one day turn pro in my opinion.. however the last 2 times hes dieted for a show hes ended up in hospital... i think alot of this is because his body is not getting the nutrients and roughage etc it needs from whole foods! (stomach lining when taking tablets etc).. hes currently dieting for a show with 8 weeks to gi and looking fantastic! so fingers crossed he might make it this time!
