ahmadel_csis 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks for your reply, waiting for my Protein Shakes to have it i bought it frm Amazon with strawberry flavor -not my fav but that was the available one. I lost around 20 pounds till now but today was a little bit slow in losing. Hope to lose at least 200 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kparker0501 88 Posted November 7, 2012 Well make sure the shakes have adequate nutrition! You can lose the weight but I am not going to lie, it takes work and a committment from you. It is so easy to keep the bad habits. Snacking, eating too many carbs etc. You really have to focus on your Protein and walk as much as possible. BUT you CAN absolutely do it if you want it. You will eat a lot less but if you snack and eat the wrong things then it will not work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahmadel_csis 0 Posted November 7, 2012 Thanks for your advices Do u recommend any Protein shakes that I can order online? And flavor as well. What are portions i should have daily from it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kparker0501 88 Posted November 7, 2012 I use Premier Protein shakes. I know you can get them online but they only deliver to Canada and USA. You can try to order from Amazon but I am not sure if they have it. There are seveeral out there, you just want to make sure that they are low carb as well as full of the Daily Nutrition you need. I was told to drink 4 of those a day. ( I only drank 3 and took a chewable vitamin). I am not sure what you have available but I would check the label. Oh and make sure you drink LOTS of Water or you can get dehydrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
