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!

  • I do believe that the lack of fiber in your diet leads to over-weight though. Many diets contradict each other but what almost all diets(Paleo, low carb, low fat, the Mediterranean, Okinawan etc) have in common is eat a lot of veggies. I think if someone eats tons of veggies he provides his body with enough fiber and nutrients. A good way to get enough veggies is juicing. Agree that veggies are good for weight control, but doesn't juicing remove all the fiber?
