Hi Dr Eades, this is a bit out of left field but I am rereading the 6 Week Cure and the discussion of leucine in issues #111/112 reminded me of something I think I read on your blog years ago - would replacing the shakes with 2 more meat weeks work on the diet? I thought you wrote at some point you were going to prescribe 4 meat weeks but expected the average reader would want more variety.

Yes, you could do a couple more meat weeks, but now there are some shakes on the market that have plenty of leucine. Whey is a great source of leucine, so anything that has enough whey to provide ~2.5-3 g of leucine should do the trick.

Thanks! I will look for those. Now if I could find a good savory protein shake...drinking sweet stuff 3 times a day can get old.
