Is it ok to replace a meal with protein isolate while dieting?

[IcyChill]

Im finding it hard to lose weight even with taking Clen. Whenever I eat a meal it's like I can't stop myself from eating more and more and then afterwards I ask myself why the fuck did you do that? So I wanted to know if it's ok to skip a meal and just have a protein isolate shake instead.

Well , yes and no.

If it prevents you from losing control and over eating them absolutely , but just a shake is not a "meal" you need to add some carbs and fat to it depending on your Macro needs , 2 scoops of whey , half cup oats and a tablespoon of peanutbutter would be a meal replacement and you can add all that in your shake..

When my calories are cut way back it is easy for me to do the same thing when I eat so what I do about 5 min before eating is drink as much water as I can , I'll try to down a full liter. This will help to make it physically impossible to over eat without being way uncomfortable.

If i were you and was planning to use a shake as a meal replacement I would get a protein blen like "Team Skip" from true protein.com or at the very least add a scoop of casine to your shake. The slower digesting protein will keep you full longer that just whey alon

The oats and pb sounds like a good idea. I don't know why I diddnt think of that. Thanks for the help.

Yes, you will get leaner and more muscular if you have a 30-50g protein shake between your whole food meals. Eating only when hungry of course. If you want to stretch out your whole food meals then add 1T of evoo or coconut oil to your protein shakes. This is a great way to stay lean(er).

I don't get it: Do you eat at a buffet or something? If you make yourself say, one chicken sandwich, then you just eat that and nothing else.

HAHA i gotta say i know where op is coming from. When i diet i do intimitant fasting( usally 2 24 hour fasts a week) which i find quite easy,but as soon as i start piling food im my mouth i find it hard to say ive had my 500 cals or whatever time to stop.Peanut butter gets me ill eat half a jar at a time-cant put it down.Still im closing in on 10% even with all that delicious peanut butter
