The problem I have with a lot of supliments/drinks is that when they have a lot of ingredients the quantities may not be enough to get the full benefit of the nutrients. Regardless of if it is for weight loss or muscle buiding it is always better to get your nutrients from whole foods, you must EAT, you must eat right for your goals, the proper ratios and variety of carbs, proteins and fats. The human body is designed to digest food and is necessary for proper body functions and general health. Digesting solid food in itself is thermogenic, requiring calorie burn just for digesting, not so much for liquids. Drinks, shakes, vitamins and supliments are just that supliments, they are used to "supliment" a good healthy diet not replace it. Eat and eat right..........
I agree with everything you said.The only reason i wanted the dumbells is because i have heard with a barbell,your strong arm will work more to compensate for the weaker.I use the same weight and reps for both sides.And the shake is only once a day,it's not a total meal replacement,as in all 3 "main" meals,It's only replacing one of those.
