chycky 671 Posted October 7, 2016 Are you able to exercise? I felt so out of energy first 6 weeks. Being able to do weights and exercise helped me gain energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chycky 671 Posted October 7, 2016 shakes, broth, add to Water. I have 2 per day. It is important. What about water? Are your overall liquids good? I can also feel off if not hitting my 64oz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncgirl0510 4 Posted October 15, 2016 You definitely need more Protein. I have a hard time eating all the required protein so I drink 1 premier already made shake a day. It has 30 grams of protein in it. Imy able to drink half in the morning and half in the afternoon. If you can'talk do that then you could break it up to drinking the 12 ozs over 3 times ( 1/3 in the morning, afternoon, and evening). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
