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!

You've just destroyed any shred of hope I had at avoiding doing this again :(
My bad. But is it honestly better to try all sorts of fad diets and tricks which leave you still unsatisfied as well but with no results than simply cutting calories to well below maintenance and getting results? Most diets are simply ways to try to trick your body into feeling full after eating a caloric deficit (protein+fat are more filling than carbs, hence some peoples success with high protein/fat diets ... those who actually enter ketosis which is a whole other thing are quite rare) Some are lucky enough that this works for them, but for most, it is not the case.
