Hi Everyone! I haven't started yet because I am reading the book now (I just got it yesterday).
I get that my carbs in the induction stage have to be 20 grams. I want to have 6 meals a day.
My question is for 3 of my meals can I have proten shakes and do I need to add carbs to that?
This is the breakdown of the Iso-Pro Low Carb shake(whey protein Isolate)
Nutrition Information:
1 scoop=35 grams per serving
Energy 131 calories
Protein 30 grams
Fat 0.6 grams
Carbs 1.4 grams
Sucralose 28 miligrams
Ingredients: cros flow microfiltered whey protein isolate, glucomannan, sucralose, alpha lipoic acid, D-pinitol, bromelain, natural and artificial flavours.
Add water /milk/juice.
I will add water
I was thinking 3 shakes plus 3 regular Atkins meals.
Is this shake okay?
Does this mean my carbs are 1.4g + 28 mg?
Or just 1.4 grams?
Should I add a carb when having the shake or should I keep the rest of my carbs for my meals?
Also how do you measure your salad? Do you use a scale? The 3 cups a day doesn't seem like that much. When I look at my measuring cup.
Also did you have physicals before you started? Did you do blood work? I am wondering if I should do all that before I start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
