Can you drink after a shake or still have to wait?

You can drink Water or other liquids after the Protein shake. The time spacing rule applies to your meals.

The time spacing rule applies to meals of solid food. Waiting is intended to keep the dense Protein in your stomach longer, so you will feel satisfied longer.

I agree with the others. You don't have to wait after Protein Shakes, just solid food.< /p>

I wait 15-20 minutes after I consume anything that has calories before I drink Water. Your stomach still has to digest the Protein in the shake and if it doesn't get broken down properly in your stomach, your system can't absorb as much of it. Its really a personal preference, though. I tend to be hyper-vigilant.

@@mommyjamie

a shake does have the Protein powder but its considered a liquid

i mixed it with skim milk - others might have used Water

be sure to count the oz of your Protein Shake into your amount of liquid you have for the day

good luck
