All Metabolic Drive is is condensed protein and calories. In the same way that it doesn’t quite matter when you eat say, steak and brocolli, it doesn’t really matter when you take your protein. The whole point of MRPs is to give the athlete a quick way to ingest the extra calories and protein he or she needs to either maintain or bulk, or to give him or her a quick alternative to a meal.
For example, I am not a morning person. I HATE cooking in the morning. So I take advantage of the fact that I can make a 700 calorie shake in the morning with metabolic drive and not have to cook.
Many like to have a shake in a thermos for work. They wake up, cook breakfast, pack a hearty lunch for their break, and at about three or four, they have their shake. Whatever works for you. Just don’t overdo it, most of your protein and calories should come from whole foods.
Surge should be taken after working out. It replenishes your body of the specific nutrients it lost while working out, helping you to recover faster, and to grow bigger. I put a whole scoop in a Nalgene with water, and drink it throughout my workout, and finish it right after I’m done.
Alrite guys… I’ve been taking Methyl Masterdrol for 5 days now and I’ve gained 8 pounds already. im 20 yrs old in case youre wondering my age…BUT ive changed my mind because the sides are just too much to deal with right now. headaches, rage, etc. So i want to stop ASAP…But my Nolvadex wont be here for another 7-10 days. Do i stop taking the MM right now?..or take lowest dosage until my nolvadex arrives?
I know i was dumb starting any cycle without having my PCT in hand…but i just now realized that MM is somthing far stronger than i had realized. ANY help would be very well appreciated.Thanks…this is like the only thread on the topic sort of that seemed up to date.

Yes, steak, fish, chicken, good pizza, good breads, fruit loops with carb countdown milk and a bunch of colored things you see on farms and shit. Also, actually lifting weights consistantly for the first time in your life will work also…!

What else would you eat on a typical day when taking Surge and Metabolic dDive? Like lots of other proteins, or lots of carbs, or lots of fatty acids, or what? [/quote]
Read the diet articles on the site. All of Berardi, particularly Massive Eating. And come back with a diet plan to get critiqued.
Personally, I wouldn’t bother getting Metabolic Drive in any of it’s varieties till you are lifting consistently and have a proper diet worked out. You can start Surge right away as recovery after workouts is important. You should also figure out a solid lifting program and post that here to get critiqued as well.
stick with the basics. have a solid nutrition plan. then add things like a multivitamin, essential fatty acids, branched chain amino acids, protein. nothing fancy nothing hard to remember. this will build you a good start. then you can add real intersting stuff once you feel your ready. its ALL and i mean all in your diet. luckily for me when i was a kid i had the opportunity to live with powerlifters. eat like them and tell me your still week. lol.
I’ve been taking enough multi-vitamins to shit them out whole. I’m tired of them, and either i’m impatient, they’re too slow, or they just don’t work for me.
This is what i’ve came up with.
Diet: Keep calories below 1500 every day… had about maybe 600 so far. Still maybe 11 hours till I sleep again.
Work-out:
Aerobic- Run to warm up muscles before I lift. After workout, run for about 20 mins.

I’m trying to get stronger and muscler, but also lose body fat. Eating 3600 calories and only running 25 mins, maybe 4 times a week, won’t work.[/quote]
You wont get more muscular at 1500 cals a day. “Good day, sir!”
well, I know its hard to do both. But if I can lose the body fat and maintain a good lifting routine, maybe down the road, lifting will be more effective and easier once the body fat is gone.
::::
You’re preparing (season/cook) a steak.
I’m eating ham.
once i’m through eating ham, the steak will be better and quicker to eat once i’m ready to eat it.

Follow John Berardi’s 7 habits. He said he has had clients maintain the same weight while losing fat… this is what you’re looking for. I’ll just write them out here for you for maximal simplicity…
Eat every 2-3 hours
Eat complete, lean protein with every meal (chicken, beef, lean pork, eggs, grow… etc.)
Eat fruits and vegetables with every meal (try carrot sticks, apples, oranges, or small salads; these are quick and easy)
Make sure carbohydrates come from fruits and vegetables. Exceptions are post workout, and the morning (this isn’t in the original list). Make sure the carbs have a low glycemic index (except immediately postworkout). If this part is confusing… just go with fruits and vegetables.
Ensure 25%-35% of calories come from fat, and eat saturated fat (animal fat), monounsaturated fat (peanuts, vegetable oils, nuts), and polyunsaturated fat (vegetable oils, fish oils (Flameout), flax seeds/oil, walnuts) equally.
Drink only non-calorie containing beverages (water). Post-workout is the exception again, get some liquid protein and high glycemic carbs (Surge).
Eat mostly whole foods (except workout and post workout drinks). As some one said before… maybe you cant cook 6 times a day; so try Metabolic Drive as a meal replacement. Make sure you get in some vegetables too, Metabolic Drive, an apple, some carrot sticks, and some fish oil can make a very fast to consume, filling and balanced meal… just dont eat it all the time.
More whole food tips:
Get a “meat bin”, cook a lot of chicken breasts, kabobs, poultry sausage… whatever… then store it in your fridge so that you can have instant meat…
Eat eggs… they’re great as a meal in the evening because they’re low in carbs. 6 eggs with some vegetables is a complete meal with about 600 ish calories (I think…)
Make extra portions when you have to cook. Offer to cook for your mom and then make a huge meal so you have left overs for a few meals (buy John Berardi’s cook book so you know whats good to make)
Carbs should come from: oatmeal, certain breads (whole wheat, sourdough, pumperknickle), wild rice, sweet potatoes/yams, beans. Look for the book “the glucose revolution” to figure out which carbs are good. You can look online but its a pain and theres lots of stupid health food sites that will make you join TCOA…
