Anyone done a protein shake only fast?

[residue]

Ok so far so good I’ve had 4 shakes at 25grams each and 160 calories each. I’ve walked 10 miles but no lifting today. Feeling pretty good. Will have another at 7 and possibly 10 if I’m awake.

For this week I will not be getting them. This is just say thru next Saturday. Then I will add in 1 meal midday with 4 shakes for a few weeks.

I’m using rtd muscle milk zero sugar. Chocolate it’s delicious. If I was using powder I usually use isopure zero carb.

You must never have seen or smelt baby crap.

Never, but I drink raw unpasturized milk daily and it's amazing, again loaded with nutrients, healthy fats, good quality protein. And it's so good that where I buy it from they have shipments every Monday and Thurs and within hours it'd sold out, they even limit it to two gallons per household.  I really wish I had this growing up, but the state I grew up in it's illegal to sell raw milk, and I didn't grow up on a farm. It's fucking incredible.

My dad drinks a gallon of raw milk a day and he is 72. Says it helps with all his ailments.

You would probably poop green foul smelling sludge every few hours on a milk only diet. Not pleasant.

when I was competing weighing 230-240 I lived primarily on protein powder. I would force myself to eat chicken and rice once a day,  and 7-8 protein shakes each day

ya, but people always tell me (as they will soon in this post) that protein is useless and doesn't work.  then they ask me how I get so big. I tell them 5 lbs. of protein powder a week, and again they reply that your body can't use all that protein.

Couple choice quotes from the man himself.  Really changed my perspective on dieting, idk why so many bodybuilders push the “Whole Foods are best!!!” angle

Yeah muscle milk was always delish

I drink 2 glasses a day pre and post workout, with your experiment you might want to add a bit of it to your shakes, obviously it higher in calories, but at least you'll get some nutrients in your system..bioavailable nutrients.

If you're talking about Pasturized milk then yes, raw milk no.

Interesting, good to hear. Hazbin is a beast, he would know.

If we're talking unflavored whey isolate then go for it, other than that protein powder is loaded with artificial flavoring, food dyes, and other bullshit additives like thickening agents that fuck up your gut biome. If you want to go that route, raw milk, unflavored whey isolate, and maybe a banana for flavoring, even a bit of raw cacao powder for further flavoring.

In terms of general health and feeling one’s best, agreed.  No argument here.  But when it comes to one’s physique, im not so sure it matters. 

I could believe that *maybe* a body maintained on a healthier, optimally balanced diet responds a bit better and reduced inflammation leads to thinner skin via reduced water retention, etc but there have been so many legendary physiques built on one-dimensional diets ( eg: 90% tuna/chicken breast + rice) that I’m inclined to believe it doesn’t make a difference to one’s physique.

Gut health is everything my friend, 90% of all diseases, cancers, autoimmune diseases, ailments start in the gut. What you listed above are real whole foods, why didn't bodybuilders in the 70s ever complain about digestive issues?? They all ate real nutritious foods, primarily steak, eggs, quarts of milk, heavy cream. Bodybuilders today literally all complain about bloating, digestion issues, because all they eat is processed foods, supplements loaded with artificial flavoring, food dyes, various other bullshit. Not everyone wants to follow a carnivore diet like myself and that's fine, but if people in general just stuck to 1 ingredient foods only, they'll be way better off health wise.

I've done the Slim Fast routine, one shake for breakfast, one for lunch and a sensible meal with amazing results.

Starting one today for a week cause I’m bored and need to drop some weight that I put on over thanksgiving and Christmas. I usually do a protein shake and fruit diet for a couple weeks to drop a good amount and then ease real food back in but I’m feeling like shakes only for 7 days. Just curious if anyone has done this and what their weight loss results were? I’m used to not eating much and severe diets so not worried about it just wanted to see if anyone else has done it? Also I won’t put it back on cause I’m not gonna eat much when I start eating again next Sunday. I will ease 1 meal a day back in for another week or two and go from there.

I did that back in the day.....almost. Only, it wasn't a fast to lose weight.

Back in my college years, I was so busy but so determined to put on size that I only had one actual solid meal. Every other meal was either a commercial weight-gainer shake or a homemade one (consisting of milk and eggs).

Many moons ago, there was a diet going around of one scoop Whey ISO and one tablespoon all natural PNB every 2 hours. 

People were getting really tight and shredded off it, but after the third or fourth week, they were getting sick.  Like total exhaustion and all over unhealthy feeling.  But the before and after photos they were posting showed the results spoke for themselves.  Some people tried the two week on, two week off method and got results but not as dramatic as those that stuck with it for 3-4 weeks.

Isn't Mike Arville (?) - the mall guy - a big believer on relying on protein shakes for nearly all his meals?

That's a ketogenic diet, poorly formulated I might add, peanut butter is a terrible choice for a fat source, high in omega 6, a better strategy would be instead of the peanut butter add in some raw Pasture raised eggs in your shakes, along with a little heavy cream.

It`s worked wonders for you!

I trained with this 21 year old beast back in the day.....drank 7 shakes a day for the most part,was on gear and made shit for progress.

I gave him the old speech that protein supplements were just that,a tool to supplement your regular diet.

He did this for months though.....I think a few weeks to drop weight is a great plan,then I`d reintroduce food.

Just my thoughts as I have never tried it but have thought about and I plan on doing it to see just what happens.

Go for it Rob....shake rattle and roll then shake some more my brother!

[falco]

I feel confortable doing 16 hour fasting. Just skip breakfast or dinner.

[robcguns]

So day 1 went well with 6 shakes at 960 calories.

Weighed in day 1 naked at 7 am after crap and piss and was 247.4

Weighed in this morning at 7 am after crap and piss naked at 244.2

Had a shake at 7am,1030am and 130 pm so far today. Feeling pretty good. Walked 10 miles yesterday and did 10 today already.

Thanks for all the input everyone. I will add in one meal starting next Sunday with shakes.

Boom, that was the name they stuck with, I couldn't remember it. It goes something like MRP Diet - Fat Fast - Velocity in order of the T-Mag protein shake diets. Fat Fast was an extremely low calorie ketogenic one that was shakes, flax seed oil, and occasionally a bit of cheese or bacon to stifle urges. I seem to remember Bruce Kneller was behind it.
