TNT Diet - Reviews/Opinions Wanted

[Dhocott]

I like EAS because of the flavor and the way it mixes.

[Mark57]

I'm a Biotest bitch all the whey. Haven't tried anything yet that tastes better or mixes easier than MD. Used ON a long time ago and it gave me pretty bad gastro problems.

Maybe EAS has changed thier formula since I last tried it, but the big problem I had was trying to get that stuff to mix.

I've recently switched to trueprotein.com Whey Protein Isolate Cold Filtered.
Mixes well. I get it unsweetened and unflavored and use their flavorings.

which flavorings? I have the chocolate BSL which is good

[LisaS]

My reviews are in the "trueprotein" thread - but off hand banana bash is good, straw-banana is also good. J. likes orange cream (and the other citrus) more than I do (Orange & Orange cream taste orange like Tang is orange). I also use LorAnn flavors with my own sweetener sometimes.

can you take hydroxycut hardcore while on this or does it have too much caffeine? Also has any1 tried hydroxycut hardcore? Because I'm hearing mix reviews.

mixes well with a spoon. taste ok, the vanilla has a chemical aftertaste

I use Nitrean from At Large Nutrition. It is a mix of whey/casein/egg protein. In my opinion, the best out there.

That's what I am using, too. I am NOT a shake person. I was determined to try a protein shake again and I got lots of recommends for Nitrean. I really like it and I'm going to try the vanilla next. Especially when I switch to Plan B so I can add some fruit.

I have no other protein shake comparison since I normally hate shakes, but Nitrean I have no problem with.

[Defiant1]

I have tried a bunch of different brands and so far I think that Nitrean is the best product available.

[mikeyc1972]

I believe that in the book it is stated to have 20g protein before and another 20 g protein immediately following workout. Is this just an estimate? Wouldnt a bigger guy need more protein than a smaller guy? Or is it assumed the bigger guy would lean more towards 30+g before/after?

[gobbla]

It's assumed that the bigger guy will eat more food (aka protein) over the course of the day than a smaller guy. The pre\post workout drinks are already on the high side of what you're going to be able to use short of some really crazy sessions.

TNT ketosis question:

I don't have the book in front of me, and maybe I missed something. I know he talked about ketosis in one of the last chapters, but I don't remember it being essential to the dieter's success. I'm in my third week of plan A, and ketostix say I'm no where close to ketosis. According to Fitday I'm keeping carbs <50g/day.

I do have a glass (or two) of red with dinner every night, and that could be keeping me out of ketosis. But my question is: do I even need to worry about it?

[Lost Dog]

Don't sweat it. There's been a lot of ketosis discussion over at the TNT forum on this. It's really not necessary, but just an added bonus (if that).

[LisaS]

even if ketosis were emphasized and important, you could be in ketosis w/out having it register on the sticks - so that isn't a 100% guide either.

[Mark57]

Thanks guys.

I guess I was expecting to see ketones if my body was using fat for energy. But ketostix are expensive, so I'm not going to waste any more of them.

[mikeyc1972]

Well I'm 3 days into my 3rd week and am astonished at the lbs ive lost(10), amount of carb cravings(none actually) and the amount of energy I have all day( tremendous amount) with no highs and lows like with carb meals. This is a great plan!
