mostly shakes? why is that? youll feel fuller longer from whole food; and your body will be able to hold onto more muscel while you diet on less calories with whole food protein sources because they stay in your blood stream for hours at atime, as opposed to shakes which are digested within a half hour.. meats are like brown rice, whey is like table sugar...as far as digestion and nutrients in the blood stream go.
as far as the veggies go...they dont really add calories to your daily total..not really. you should be able to stay full while dieting no matter which way you are dieting, wolf. if your dieting through ketosis; then you can stay full off of lean proteins...but if you dieting off of a caloric defecit and balanced diet, then you can stay full off of veggies. keeeping yourself tired and hungry isnt helping you any...in fact the extra veggies might help you lower your total daily calries by reducing the other foods you are eating, and by helping maintain muscle mass thorugh the vitamins... cut out the shakes though.
Can you quote studies?
How do shakes only stay in your system for 1/2 hour? What constitutes a "system."
Also, please explain how lean meats will help you stay full while in ketosis. I'm keenly interested as to why "lean meats" was used.
Unless the human body has recently changed its processing and utilization of nutrients, I am still of the understanding that ketosis is actually the build up of keto acids, which are a bi-product of lipid metabolism after the fat has been converted to energy.
And...unless the human body has recently changed its processing and utilization of nutrients, lean proteins would be woefully inneficient at this practice. In fact, lean proteins would create a more rapid gastric clearance rate, resulting in elevated blood amino acid levels. In the absence of ingested carbohydrates, the body would attempt to create glucose from the rapid rise in blood aminos. This would create a state of elevated blood sugar levels, insulin secretion, and glucose that can be used by the brain.....basically the opposite of ketosis.
I realize this board is for fun, but the audacity of those ignorant on a particular subject to speak as authorities is getting out of hand.
Besides that point, you're talking to a man capable of bench pressing 900lbs, who has already lost 100lbs of fat following his particular diet methods.
