I think this is fairly common actually.


I figure it's probably common since it was so expedient, but I was
curious as to whether it was a good thing, health-wise (for an
"average" lifter).


Substituting *every* meal with a protein shake doesn't sound too
wise
but probably would do little damage in the short term.


But why, then? I mean, that's just what I don't get...if the
protein's
the same thing, and the vitamin pills are really chock full of
vitamins
and minerals, how could they be harmful if used exclusively?

No fiber.

Or electrolytes, or EFAs. But those problems could be corrected. Worse
is that it would be pretty boring and probably not sustainable
long-term.
