Folks, would you consider the protein in shakes like Met-RX 40 or Grand Slam 50 as bad or good cholesterol? I tend to drink those things at least twice a week. The first one has 10mg of cholesterol; the second has 40, and I'm worried about my arteries getting clogged due to my increased consumption.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
Classifying the Cholesterol in Protein Shakes

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
first, and less importantly, those amounts of cholesterol are tiny and insignificant compared to the amount of dietary cholesterol in any other source of protein (meat, eggs, etc.)
second, and more importantly, dietary cholesterol is not correlated to blood lipid levels (hdl, ldl, triglycerides) in most individuals. lowering the amount of dietary cholesterol you consume is not correlated with heart health.

Re: So What Happens if I Stop Drinking Them?
I appreciate you sharing that, Throttle. My second question is, does anyone think that if I stop drinking those protein shakes, I will lose all the weight and muscle mass I have so far built and start getting skinny again?

not if you replace it with an equal amount of protein from another source. if you fail to keep that amount of protein in your diet, however, all bets are off, and you're likely to see some loss of mass. but there are cheaper sources of protein than the sort of pre-mixed shakes you listed above, if long-term cost is your concern.

I got a question, anyone know where to buy Met 40's in bulk?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I agree with Throttle. I was going to say I wouldn't even worry about it, and that's the last of your worries.Throttle said:first, and less importantly, those amounts of cholesterol are tiny and insignificant compared to the amount of dietary cholesterol in any other source of protein (meat, eggs, etc.)

People think in general cholesterol is BAD, and you should avoid it at all costs. Truth be told, you need it, and hence why they always suggest you get SOME red meat in the week.
You need to think about CALORIES in general, and not rely on the protein shakes.Frank2500 said:I appreciate you sharing that, Throttle.

You could drink 5 a day, and if you are still at a 1,000cal deficit for gaining, it doesn't matter.
The answer is that if you STOP eating you'll lose weight. Calories calories calories. Protein/Carbs/Fat ALL of it is important.
Re: It's Tough
From the way things are going, I may not be able to afford to buy those protein shakes much longer. I'm spending a lot of money on them and don't currently have a job that's helping me make up for the amount of money I'm spending. As you all know, even to eat right, you still need money. I'm in a rough situation right now financially.
