In my experience keep supplements to a minimum eat as much good naturally protein rich foods as possible whole milk plenty of beef and forget the chicken breast and white fish no one grows eating that stuff u need good wholesome food sympathetically produced proteins and meal replacements are just money makers for the fittnes industry

I've watched loads of Stan efferding's videos on your recommendation Don and really enjoy his rants. I believe that he really knows his stuff, and recognise that real eating is better than shakes but I know my limitations and I get bored eating endlessly. I probably get 2/3 of my calories from food and 1/3 from shakes. 
 
What's odd today is that even after the heavy squatting and everything else yesterday, I'm just not hungry today. 

Am glad u are a fan the man is a genius I think some days are body is just not as Hungary as others no matter what u do physically I get days when I could literally eat the fridge and all that's inside of it but others when I have to force my my six meals I consistency is the key with eating

Off the back of Stan's videos, I've started watching the super training gym vids from mike bell and those are great too. Makes me hungry to up my numbers!

Really good videos there are both very knowledgeable it's addictive once u start chasing numbers [emoji6]

Stihmmad which amino acids do you recommend?

 

I'm on whey protein and creatine in my morning smoothie but think I need a change.

 

I've got a bit of lergy at the minute, but my energy levels generally have been shocking the last few months, although I'm eating reasonably well.

I need to shake things up a bit.

Mark im not sure taking branch chain amino acids would help with the energy levels but would definetly help in the gym.

Look at bcca's that have leucine, valine and isoleucine in a 2:1:1 ratio.

These are the only amino acids that metabolised in the muscle,all the others are metabolised in the liver.These key aminos help to repair damaged muscle tissue and speed the recovery process.

Theyre cheap and easy to buy online in bulk.

I recommend taking them before a workout and during to help the body undertake the repair process quicker.

Amounts taken will differ according to your weight.

I found taking whey protein alot had many side affects that i hadnt even noticed,bloating,wind,lethargy,upset stomach,spiking my insulin,costing a fortune etc.

Id say give it a break or even just stop taking it except straight after training just to see if it helps.You might wanna take a look at how much caffeine your consuming aswell as long term high caffeine intake can really have a detrimental effect on your adrenal glands which can present itself in lethargy.

If you've been busy at work plus traini g hard you might wanna take some time off just too recharge the batteries mate.

Let us know how you get on mate
