atkins / weights prog / protein shakes?
hi all
im 2 weeks into stronglifts 5x5 program and progressing well. i also decided that 2 weeks ago i would lose fat too... so went back to an old buddy, atkins. - well, i thought it has a lot of protein/healthy fats and low carbs. my actual weight if it's a factor is around 14st 1lb now, and was 14st 11lb two weeks ago. my body fat was around 28% - too much, although at 5' 10" and fairly broad i carry it ok - but that percentage was a worry. im around 26% body fat now. when im trying to lose fat i tend to progress fairly well, and am doing atkins relatively strictly, so my concern is am i getting enough carbs to affect the 5x5 plan in a negative sense. i wouldnt be eating the atkins way permanently, just to burn a few more pounds of fat.
so thats a bit of background. my question is would it be a good idea to take protein shakes post workout? (around 11g of carbs per serving) which would only be 3 times a week.
thanks guys
