Protein shake

You don't need a protein supplement. Just follow a balanced diet, 3-5 small meals / healthy snacks a day and watch your portions. you need to do that and exercise atleast 4-5 days a week and you'll definitely start to lose weight. I'm a trainer at a Heath and wellness institute and a la fitness.

Scivation Whey protein. Amazing taste (i have vanilla), great quality protein and low calories per scoop (120 i think) if you want a little heavier protein shop Syntha 6. best tasting and best quality protein on the market, about 230 calories a scoop. Avoid going to a GNC. those idiots have NO clue what they are talking bout, they just want to make a sale!

EDIT: whey protein HAS been proven to improve weight loss when incorporated with a fitness regiment and good eating habits. Bodybuilding.com has all the info you will ever want or need on how to build, cut, ect.... pm me if you need mature & sperm free advice.

protein shakes alone do not help you lose weight, proper exercise and diet is what makes you lose weight.

Degree in exercise science > bodybuilding.com which is sponsored by supplement companies anyway. You do not need protein supplements with a proper diet. Consult any dietician and they'll tell you the same ( which we have on site at my job ). Personally I use protein supplements because I body build but for a person just trying to lose weight it isn't necessary at all. Proper diet, exercise, and most importantly consistency with those two and you'll be all right and see the results you want in time.

I use it during the day when I can't have a meal.

Protein shakes don't help you lose fat...

Do some research before you choose one, a lot of those shakes have high levels of heavy metals in them. I use optimum nutrition brand and don't have any complaints. You shouldn't say your trying to lose weight but not gain muscle, muscle burns calories just existing so the more muscle you build the faster you'll lose fat. Notice I said fat and not weight, that's because if you start gaining muscle mass it will add weight but your goal should just be to look good.

I've gone from 230+ to 200 in the last few months and lost a few inches off my waist, feels great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
