What?! 

I agree that most protein bars are chewy and dry (try Cliff Bar), but protein shakes are yum yum delicious. Drinking a shake with only water makes your body absorb it quicker, but if you want it to improve the taste then mix it with skimmed or low fat milk. 

Edit: it goes without saying that you can only do that if your shake was chocolate or vanilla flavored. 

These shakes aren't quite the same as what you'd get at gnc, some sort of medically formulated stuff to help to kick start the body's processes for fatasses like me whose metabolism has slowed to a crawl, actually need a prescription to get it.  I've tried them with skim and almond milk though and for me it just makes them worse, especially the almond milk.  Turns the stuff into sludge, practically have to chew it to get it down.  Figure I'll just stick with water, that way I can down it quick before the taste really gets me.

 

oh, my condolences... Chugging it down seems like a good plan since you can't savor something like this I guess.

And you're not starting from scratch. You were in great shape before so the knowledge you had about food and weight lifting is still there. You just have to be as determined as you were before.
