will protein shakes affect my six pack, or other muscles?!


Question: Will protein shakes affect my six pack, or other muscles?
I have ADHD and take medication for it. One of the side effects of the medication is loss of appetite. In the first week of taking the meds i dropped 6 pounds, i'm worried about my lack of food effecting my growth, I am thinking of trying protein shakes. The thing is i'm worried it could effect my six pack, and other muscles. So would protein shakes effect my abs?

Thank you very much.

Answers:

YES they would. I was a marine, and had to go on some pills for anxiety similar to you ADHD. I never wanted to eat, but my buddies helped me out. I'd follow this routine:

-drink plenty of water
-stay far from fat-sugar-sweets-fast foods
-don't eat after 7 pm
-eat 5 small meals including snacks(breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinne… snack with nuts,fruit or yogurt because this make you feel not hungry so you don't eat much in meals-the main point is how many healthy meals we eat and how many calories we consume
-eat grilled and boiled foods(ex: grilled chicken/fish and boiled vegetables is a perfect dinner)
-drink green tea(this is really important because green tea extract speeds metabolism and so you burn more calories
- 2-3 glasses of green tea per day is really necessary)
-by exercising you make all your body work and so burning calories.
-eat well and burn more calories than you intake. And you can do both of these by dieting and exercising.

Follow this stuff. You can stay on those meds of yours, and work out a way to really maintain huge muscle. Stay disciplined man. You'll be fine brutha.



Why not discuss this with your doctor to see if he can come up with an alternative medication that may have little or no side effects.



it definitely will. in a good way i guess. so keep the active lifestyle, and plenty of water. ;)
