Shakes help? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

onestepforward · 19-02-2007, 11:25 PM

Hi again,

As I was reading through the posts on nutrition and training and I keep seeing these PWO shakes (whey) and then protein shakes.

As my main aim is weight loss/body fat loss and muscle definition (as a woman), through weight training (and some cardio, as opposed to the full-on cardio i'm used to), but should I be drinking these shakes as well?

I saw this one for a PWO shake Elite Dymatize Butter Cream Toffee whey, but is this right for me? Or where should I start?

I know worrying about bulking for women is a myth, but will the shakes help my weight/fat loss?

Thanks guys!!

Miss Tx

i make my shake myself to include 75g carbs and 42g protein after training (made from whey and a carb mix) , you should be ok with about half this amount. (i expect)

you should include this in your diet as it will be absourbed straight away and will not make you bulk.

a good balanced diet with the correct cardio will help fat loss, not cutting out carbs altogether
