I have started to take this protein supplement in the early evening before my evening workout and before I eat dinner. This does a few beneficial things.

- Helps keep my metabolism up by helping my body stay away from starvation mode

- Gives me more protein to help with muscle growth

- nice little mid-day grape snack

Because it is all protein and no carbs, I feel it assists in fat burning by a combination of the first two items. Higher metabolism with muscle growth = less fat.

After my workout this morning I had an Advant Edge Carb Control Nutrition Shake.  It is funny when I took this photo my camera focused on the Fruits in the bowl…  I think this must be a sign that I need to eat more Fruits and Vegetables.

Day 10 - Advant Edge Carb Control Shakes -

- 100 Calories

- 1 gram of carbs

- 18 grams of protein

Should be a nice supplement to my diet.

Day 10 - WalMart SuperCenter Shopping trip - Due to a recommendation from a friend, I am tonight doing a little shopping at Wal Mart to pick up a New EAS Advant Edge Carb Control shake. It is supposed to have only 100 calories and 1 gram of carbs. Compared to the Myoplex shakes which has 150 Calories and 5 grams of carbs, this should be a nice switch. I think EAS makes the best nutrition shakes.

Today I received my new Universal Animal Pak I ordered. Basically this is a multi-vitamin pak that many body builders use. Since I am working out very hard at this point. I want to make sure I have all my essential vitamins and minerals. I will take one pak per day in the morning.

I also ordered Universal’s Animal Cuts. Body Builders use this as well during their cutting phase. This is specially formulated to reduce any muscle loss. I am only planning on taking these for three weeks and that is it. Will see how it does.
