Hey everyone, first time poster here and I'm looking for some advice. I have been having a hard time losing weight (6'2", 290lbs, 25 y/o Male). I do swimming, thats just my thing, and it is the only exercise i seem to be able to stick with (bad for weight loss, but better than nothing). I swim 1 kilometer, 3 times a week and I have not moved a pound away from where I started over a year ago. I realized that I started eating more when swimming, so I started adding extra protein to my diet to try to bulk up (since losing wasn't working). Now I'm taking about 5 servings of Naked juice, Protein Zone a day as meal replacements, but only consuming maybe 1200 - 1800 calories a day from normal food (down from about 3000). I have still noticed no change in weight, but I do feel as though my muscle mass has increased (which is a good sign), waist size has not decreased though. Is this stuff putting me on the fast track to failure? I know there's lots of sugar, but its all from fruit if that matters. Thanks for reading!

Hmm... You say that you want to lose weight, but you don't lift, and you only want to swim... Well, I can tell you that you're going to see minimal results at best.

If at all possible, then I'd suggest you try and get involved in some other types of cardio, and from there, try to get on a small weight lifting program.

I know that it's going to be difficult because you're so set in your ways, but if you can add a little more variety to your program, then I'm sure you'll be able to see much better results.

As for the Naked Juice, I'm not really sure that it's a great thing to take any diet drink 5 times a day. Seems to me that it's nothing more than sugar and protein. While the protein is good, the 140+ grams of sugar that you consume are not.

Perhaps you should consult a nutritionist so that he/she can set you up with a healthy dieting plan. Couple that with a good fitness plan, and you should be well on your way!

Hope this helps!

Word!

You probably wont ever look good naked by drinking that ****.

Fair enough. Thanks!
