Yea I like to change the items now and again (i dont like eating the same things all the time). also expermenting with ingredents keeps your intrest high and its funny makeing mistakes (marmite was my bigest disaster).
In the past i put apple juce instead of crambery, coke, ribena, grape fruit its fun to try new flavours. (alough coke tasted rank).
I cant stand peanut butter but I know many people that use this as a exelent source of protien.
Yougerts - i tryed that but i prefer to know as best i can whats going into the shake, with most yougerts you dont have control of the ingredents. but yea if you like it why not!
Cottage cheese is also nice (but i ususaly eat that with my food meals).
Thats the other thing, the shake should be a suplement to your normal meals not a replacement if you get me. There a additional help but I like to get my main nutrition from food meals. If you have a small apetite like I do. Just split the meals into small portions throughout the day. The same way that you add to the shake you should be adding gradualy to the meals your eating like a little bit more cottage cheese. A bit more lean beef, a few extra potatos, a little bit more pasta ect..
if its done gradualy then you can monitor the efects its having on your progress if you do it this way you can easly make corections and understand better the efects that each part does. IF you just make a huge change then how will you know what is causeing the problem if somthing goes wrong. your have to start from square one.
The other problem with big bang dieting is that its very easy to make a miscalculation with the portions and put on excess body fat.
