The quick answer is yes if you are using the WheySmooth for your pre and post workout supplement and LeanMR for your meal replacement within your daily food diet. Keep in mind, more protein doesn’t necessarily mean faster weight loss. And if weight loss is you primary goal and you’re training hard, I would use AminoFormula (AB) for your pre/post workout formula instead of WheySmooth.
Make sure your calories are correct for your goal and get ~1 g of protein for 1 pound of lean body mass (LBM) split 4-5 times daily. I placed a weight loss supplement program below using LeanMR and attached a premier program that includes both LeanMR and AB that we give to adults losing weight and training hard.
Weight Loss & Health Supplement Program
Daily:
• dotFIT Active, Women’s or Over 50 Multivitamin & Mineral, depending on age and/or gender (see directions)
o Take as directed with meals
• LeanMR
o Use as directed within daily meal planning (see below) and to make sure you get ~1gm of protein per pound of lean body mass (or weight if not overweight) daily from all sources divided 4-5 times daily
o Can also be used as a supplement to a meal or by itself (or mixed with desired supporting contents) to shore up total daily protein needs
As needed
• Super Calcium
o Use if you do not meet the daily needs of calcium (~1000-1200 mgs) from food intake
Females take 1 or 2 daily with meals; if you need to take 2, take one with AM meal and the 2nd with PM meal; Males take 1 only if necessary
• SuperOmega 3
o Take 1 daily with meal if not consuming 2-4 svgs/wk of fatty fish
Meal Replacement Integration
Weight loss phase:
• Meal Replacements (MRs) generally supply two small meals a day and allow freedom of choice from traditional foods for the remaining allotted foods/calories. Therefore, use as two small meals within any calorie restricted meal plan of 4-5 meals since it's been shown that frequent small meals are better for weight loss than fewer larger ones especially as it relates to satiety, preservation of lean body mass (LBM) and energy levels

Maintenance phase
• Continue to consume 4-5 small meals daily within caloric allotment that include 2 MRs for convenience and to help ensure overall diet quality while reducing food costs
