What kind of protein supplement do you use?

I did the plateau buster diet a while back and I just want to offer one small bit of advice, make sure you add extra fiber to your diet when following it.  I ended up with severe constipation because of the increased amount of protein and not much veggies on the 10 days.  Add some flaxseed to your protein shakes or keep some colace handy in case you start feeling irregular.  Severe constipation is not fun.

Yes you can sprinkle flaxseed into yogurt or on salads. It has a slightly nutty flavor.  Makes a chocolate protein shake taste sort of like a malt flavored shake.   I buy flaxseed at Cost Plus Nutrition stores.  Most health stores, Whole Foods type stores should carry it.  It should be milled flaxseed.  Whole flaxseed is harder to digest and you would probably have to grind it.   I also use benefiber regularly which you can add to anything - even regular water because it has no taste.
