Hi, ProudMary. This is a link to an example of what would be a good shake to add http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-for-Life/Foundational-Nutrition/RAW-Protein.aspx – note the list of ingredients (click on “Supplement Facts” on the right side of the screen) to get an idea of the type of thing we support.
If you are interest in this product, it is available through Amazon.

Hi, ProudMary. Recipes for shakes that can be good snacks are here https://www.trimdownclub.com/?s=shake&post_type=recipe. You can also use hearty soups, which are like shakes – recipes here https://www.trimdownclub.com/recipe_type/soups/.
Easy to carry snacks that would complement the shakes and soups (assuming they have a lot of fruits and vegetables) include nuts, seeds, whole grain crackers, and cheese.

Morning,

I’m a Steamfitter-Pipefitter in Alberta. I work 10 hours/day 14 days on then 7 off. My challenge will be how to adjust my eating when I am subject to a camp environment. All meals are provided; hot breakfast/supper & we pack our own lunches. We leave for site by 7:00am first break is at 10:30 then again at 2:00, back to camp by 6:00pm. Luckily we have a great gym & fitness facility including various exercise classes 🙂

They do post the menu at surmontphase2.com if that would be helpful?
Thanks so much in advance for your assistance,
Maureen

HI Proudmary

I don’t know what your job is – but I’m a dog groomer – and found it really difficult to find a bit of time (away from flying hair for a start!) to get away to eat a snack – and exercise is a difficult one as I’m completely knackered at the end of the day – every day. However, if you sort the diet first (find the five minutes – choose snacks that are easily consumed) the energy will come.

I’m on my third week now – energy is so much better. I’ll start finding an evening to go to the gym again. Before though, I literally couldn’t get off the couch once I got home – asleep by 8pm. Just force yourself to do it at first.
