Question for fitness types

AtomSmasher:
I agree with a lot of whats been said here, such as shakes and 5 meals a day are for people who really want to get in shape and will really commit to it.  Eating 3 healthy meals is perfectly fine for the average person.  However, if you do decide you want to do 5 meals, or just want a good protein shake to drink, I've found the one called "Metabolic Drive" is the best protein shake there is (some of you might know it by its old name, "Grow!").  I've tried a number of different low carb shakes, and IMO this one is easily the best.

Also, I picked up a neat thing at Bed,Bath, and Beyond a while ago made for these shakes.  Basically it has a container for the water, on the bottom is a screw on section to hold the powder, and inside there is a thing you stick in the freezer which keeps the water cold all day.  It lets me easily have a cold shake anywhere I go, and definately worth finding one if your serious about the 5 meals a day.

KenToad:
Yup, most sodas contain sugar in the form of corn syrup.  It's a killer, man. 

ChadTower:

And don't halfass it by moving to diet soda instead.  That never works all that well as it doesn't develop the discipline.  Plus, diet soda is really bad for you too, but in more sinister ways.

Buddabing:
Well, I dropped 20 pounds a few years ago when I switched to diet soda. Yes, diet soda is supposedly bad for you. But I'd rather drink that than the swill that passes for coffee at the office, and I don't know if I want to go through caffeine withdrawal at this time.

ChadTower:

They make caffeine pills.  Consider reading some of emerging studies based on the long term effects of artificial sweeteners and the brain.  They're starting to find potential links to really scary stuff like Alzheimer's.
