Overview

Diet shakes seem almost as old as dieting itself—few people who’ve tried to lose weight have not encountered a weight loss shake powder of one kind or another. The makers of SlimScript claim their product is a bit different than the shakes that have come before it because of its supposed good taste, high calcium, and low carb formula. Yet a look into the ingredients reveals SlimScript is like most other diet shakes: low calorie, few flavors, and not quite a worthy substitute for actual food.

Ingredients at a Glance

SlimScript shake mixes contain whey protein, soy protein, fiber, and a daily dose of several vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients in Focus

Soy and whey protein are the most common types of protein found in natural supplements. Whey protein is taken from whey (the liquid that separates from curds in cheese making) and is very easily absorbed by the body. The main drawback of soy is the amount of phyto-estrogen it contains, which can unbalance the dieter’s hormones. Fiber is an essential part of any diet as it fortifies the heart and improves digestion. While these ingredients are all nourishing they are not able to speed metabolism or suppress the appetite.

Positives

•    Includes a generous helping of necessary nutrients

Negatives

•    No testimonials at this time

•    Available in only three flavors

•    Must be mixed with milk before consuming

•    Expensive compared to similar diet shakes

Final Thoughts

At only 120 calories each, SlimScript shakes can hardly be considered a replacement for a meal. Though you may need to regulate the amount of calories you take in, most individuals will not need to make such a drastic cutback. There are a number of ways to reduce calories without spending money on or having to mix up specially made shakes. By eating meals that are well-balanced and fresh, and getting exercise nearly every day, you will quickly see the benefits of implementing your own weight loss program. Once you are on the path to dieting success you can decide which products will best support the program you have in place.

I am 20 years old i’ve been working out for 1 year and 3 months. I just started taking Whey Protein Optimum 3 months ago i see some improvements in my body but i’m really looking for gaining weight. i weight 157 lb, 5"6 height
what are the side effects of the serious mass? and how many times should i take the serious mass through out the day? what about the resting days should i use it, how many scoops?

I don’t know the specific details about each product, but I’ve used a number of Protein and Mass type powders.

The main difference is usually that Mass products contain significant amounts of carbohydrates (mostly simple but also some complex). After realizing that as much as 40% of the weight of Mass shake mixes go to simple sugars like Dextrose, and another 25% to complex carbs, I moved on to normal protein shakes.

Serious Mass probably also includes things like Creatine and added Glutamine. These have been shown to increase mass building but see if Protein Optimum includes them. They are readily available supplements at most health stores which sell bodybuilding nutrition. I would definitely recommend sticking to the Protein and maybe added some sucrose to a post-workout shake yourself. Get the extra calories from things like meat and whole foods which will be better for you anyways. Finally, using Mass products is not recommended for longer than a month or two at a time due to the huge amounts of simple carbs consumed in a short period of time – its like drinking sugar with added starch and some protein.

edit – the reason I use Protein over Mass is simply a cost-benefit ratio. Serving sizes on Mass drinks usually recommend up to 4 large scoops both on resting days and workout days, costing you much more money in the long run. If money is not an issue, Mass drinks are premixed and have well-balanced carb ratios.

Is it better to take whey protein before or after the workout? How long before or after?

Always consume a pre workout shake about 45minutes to an hour before. For a post workout shake consume immediately after. Get those nutrients into the muscles
