What do swimmers use for electrolyte replacement and/or meal replacement shakes, etc? I am trying to loose weight but despite all my swimming, it's not happening. I think it's got to be because I'm hungrier, but have a hard time gauging my calories, so I'm looking for a meal replacement system that will help me meep track but that will also have adequqate protein and vitamins for maintaining training. Any suggestions? Thanks!
There are lots of ways to lose (not "loose" :nono:) weight out there, and believe it or not, losing weight does not always mean having to feel hungry. My wife and I both eat a 60% fat, 20% protein, 20% carbohydrate diet that is both healthy and incredibly satisfying (fat in food increases the sense of satiation). Both of us have lost significant amounts of weight and sustained that loss over time. Google "paleo" or "primal" + "diet" and you'll find plenty of information.
