A stupid question, but just kinda wondering wat would happen if someone was to only drink protein shakes all day as their diet. Cause i heard a while back that Thomas Jane did a liquid diet for 3 months prior to filming of The Punisher so he could get into shape. Wasn't sure if I misread that part or if it was true, but it seems unhealthy, although it seemed to get him into shape.

Your body needs real food.
Supplements are SUPPLEMENTS.
Having your whole diet based on it is just stupid.IG: @tuanlifts

You miss out on a lot of micronutrients, phytochemicals and anti-oxidants in their natural state when you skip out on whole, natural foods.

Very good info from HJ here. They are called supplements for a reason...Another thing shakes are hardly satiable at all, and I don't know about you guys, but I love chewing/tasting food all day,and getting all the little unknown xfactors of whole reall foods at the same timeOriginally Posted by Haywood Jablome

While I agree that supplements should not be your entire diet, having a liquid diet only is not impossible. That goes w/out saying for people like us who want to obtain certain physical goals. But people do get on these kind of diets. Example, a friend of mine was put on a liquid diet by his doctor for a few months. The diet was closely watched and he was made sure he received all the proper nutrients, etc... He lost 100lbs on it and afterwards slowly went back on a solid food diet.
Is it unhealthy? It's up for debate, like everything else. However, a lot of people, both overweight, anerexic, etc. have benefited on these sorts of diets.

Protein shakes are a great addition to one's diet when you are short of time due to their ease of preparation/convenience. I usually end up having two per day. Breakfast (along with oats) and PWO.
But I MUCH prefer a nice juicy,tender chicken breast or steak for my protein requirements
