Does it make sence to use protein shakes if you are trying to loose body fat?

Answer 1

definetly...reducing the carbohydrate intake and replacing those cals with quality proteins will do wonders for increasing insulin sensitivity and helping to decrease body fat. however you only want to use whey protein for pre/post workout and any other time of the day you would want to use a blended protein powder.

Answer 2

Yes, absolutely. The point of taking protein supplements is to minimize the loss of lean mass by keeping your body anabolic. That said, you do need to workout to get benefits, because otherwise you are just adding extra calories to your diet.

In order to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you eat each day. Keep that in mind when deciding how much protein to supplement with.

Answer 3

a recent study showed that too much prtein adds up to fat.
i mean sure a shake wouldnt hurt but dont down the protein shakes for every meal.
