Hi everyone, I have decided to start the BFL program to kickstart my weight loss. I have been exercising and eating better but had no real focus.
My biggest question is do you need all the shakes and supplements to be able to get the most out of the program or am I able to lose weight without them?
Thanks and I hope to meet some great people to help keep me motivated, goodness knows I will need it!
Hi...
I'm also relatively new to BFL; it's been pretty good to me so far. Personally, I don't think that you'll need shakes or bars or anything like that- they're more for convenience than anything else, really. As for supplements, a multi-vitamin might be beneficial, but that's just my humble opinion!
I use a protein shake or two a day for convenience but if you can do six meals without one, more power to you.
I don't know what you mean by "supplements". I supplement with a multivitamin, calcium and Udos. I don't really use much of anything else. During my first challenge I tried creatine and found it to be too yucch to continue (it also made me VERY gassy!)
IMO opinion real food is better, cottage cheese and a fruit or sweet potatoe, go to the recipe sticky here and you'll find lots... or over at L&S for some good recipies...
