What would happen if I ate nothing but protein shakes for days on end?

Yeah so I live with my uncle who requires me to do 2 hours of yardwork after I get home before I can eat any food. I'm almost 17 and I realize what a good diet can do for me. So if I refuse to work for food, then the only thing that I get are protein shakes because I paid for them myself. I am moving away in about 11 days and was wondering if eating nothing but protein shakes would effect my body severely. BTW, I still plan on working out on a daily basis.

Do you live there for free? Do the Yard work. Think of it as a good cardio workout.

I'm assuming he does, hes 17. If its your chore or whatever, just do it. Real food is far superior to protein shakes anyway, they are called supplements.. You don't base your whole diet around them. They're to aid you.  Plus... yard work is cardio and thats good for you anyway.

Believe me, I've done my best to comply to this rule ever since he started it. And I have done what you said by keeping "I'm getting a workout" in mind while I worked. But the thing is he has started to be ridiculous lately. For Example, one night I told him that I would be working out the next day and coming home really late. So I asked him if it would be ok if I worked double the time the following day in order to get food that night. He agreed and I proceeded to do workout the following day. Just as I started my workout, he called me and told me that I had to come home and do yard work for him immediately. I told him that I already had plans that he had already agreed to comply to. So, basically, I didn't get any food.

But that doesn't matter I just want an answer to the q because I don't want to deal with this again

Hey thanks footballcraze didn't see you're message till I posted mine. BTW I still eat as much as I can at school till we get out and I try to sneak food as much as possible.

If you are going to live on protein shakes then maybe look into the velocity diet on T-nation. Just don't go lactose intolerant...

IMHO, do the yard work and make a good reputation for yourself, it is likely to benefit you later in life. I get asked to do random work around the house as well, I see it as doing me good. Yes, some of the jobs can take two hours or more, so I get up in the AM and do them before the sun is out in full force.

I should also add that the worker is worth his keep, do the work and be better for it.

WTF, isn't this child abuse? Not feeding a kid under your guardianship unless they work? And making them skip mealls if they don't do it? This goes far beyond discipline. I'd advise you call CPS. Or get the hell out of there.

BTW, if you have enough money, I'd advise buying grits. they are sorta bland, but food is food....
Also, why don't you just raid the fridge late at night?

do you work by cleaning up the nike factory in Asia?

Good luck with moving hope you find a better place.

sorry about your situations but good luck on moving.a whole lot of gasssss.on that protein situation ..

DONT BLAME THE PITBULL TRAIN THE PITBULL .BAN THE DEED NOT THE BREED.... OH YES MY GRAMR AND SPELNG SUCK AZZ...I KNOW.. THERE ARE NO BAD DOGS.JUST BAD OWNERS...

Yeah man, no offense but that's not right of your uncle. I mean food is something we need to live, not like taking a PlayStation away once a kid doesn't do his homework. You don't take food away as punishment, that's f***ed up, I wouldn't even do that to someone I disliked.

That's wrong man, sorry to hear about that, I would just stick it out and do the yard work for the next several days until you move.

Dang that's alotta responses... well as matter of fact I'm actually moving tomorrow and (believe me I did raid the fridge every once in a while) but thanks for the concern. Yeah I told my uncle the same thing about taking something away besides food (like the Playstation or something) but overall I think we got a little sidetrack haha but thanks again for the responses.

way we gooo. just dont look back.good luck.

If you do this, you will piss lightning and crap success.

I kid, I kid.  You will probably have very little energy due to no intake of carbs or fats, you will quickly get sick of that artificial taste, and you will have some seriously disgusting and painful bowel movements.  Do the work, eat the food.  You're staying at your uncle's house anyway, respect your elder family members.  I'm sure he'll be more than happy to give you lots of food if you get rid of your horrible attitude and put in an honest two hours' work.
