Gym and Protein Shakes

[ElbieLouw]

Hi there, I started the attack phase yesterday. I have bootcamp on Mondays & Thursdays, on Tuesdays & Fridays I have weight training followed by a run with some friends. I normally have a protein shake between the sessions and sometimes a protein bar but either way, it contains quite a bit of carbs. I need the energy for the next session and egg or meat will be too heavy and make me nausious.
With all my training, I am still 20 kgs (+- 40lbs) overweight. Can I continue to use the protein shakes while on the diet? How long for the attack phase? 10 days?

Welcome EL... I'd suggest you consult our FAQ post, for diet specifics, and to find out how long to do attack for, and for creating your User CP.

As for protein shakes, the doctor doesn't approve of them. Have you read the book?

 

[ElbieLouw]

I ordered the book from Amazon, so I'll receive it this week or next. I wanted to start so long. Sorry if I asked the same questions as before....

No worries. You will find loads of info in our FAQs, then come back and ask more specifics if you need to.

It might be worth skipping bootcamp for the one session while you are in attack, maybe substituting an activity that won't over challenge your muscles.
