I have just started working out again with weights. I haven’t for about 7 years now. I worked out with my dad from the time I was 15 until I was 19. I loved it and I have started back up again. The great thing is I haven’t lost my muscle. It is still there, and still pretty firm. I have lost some of my of strength though. The bad thing is I have put on some weight. I have a layer of fat over my nice firm muscles. I am wanting to get rid of the fat, but I don’t need to bulk up anymore. I just want to see the muscle tone I already have, and improve on it a bit. I bought the Weider Total Body 5000 which is awesome! I love it! I want to use a good supplement to help feed my muscles and burn up the fat. Any suggestions? Maybe a good protein shake for dinner before or after my work out?

ok i dont care for weider products but if you like it good. i want you to try something before you jump into buying protein. at 165 lbs (but look 145-150) haha try to get about 150 grams of protein a day. for a few days write down what you eat and log the stats. see if you come close to that number. a normal protein shake gives from 25-40 grams (depending on the serving size). take the protein right after your workout or split it up 1/2 before and 1/2 after. see where that puts you. you ARE NOT going to gain weight and mass by using protein….and if you did thats hot. 🙂 good luck
The best protein shake would be ON 100% whey protein, its packed with 24g protein 4g glutamine and low fat and sugar, thats the one i use and it helped big time i also use n.o xplode its a pre-workout drink but u really dont need it, it gives you lots of energy and a bit of strength and make you stay longer in gym, so just get the protein shake..
well then, do cardio> protein supplements only make u bulkier. Do light weight high rep weight lifting for now. Once u cut ur fat by doing cardio; jogging, elliptical, etc… Then start taking WHEY protein, then u’ll start getting bigger, and more toned and ur muscles will show. Then switch to, HIGH weight, LOW rep weight lifting routine…. U gaine strength so fast like that. 2 1/2 months ago i was benching 105 pounds….. now i am benching 205 pounds…..
Weider’s Mega Mass. The best
None.
Healthy n Fit whey protein.
ON %100 Whey
i use designer whey protein! It works great
Wow, I wish you’d post a picture. I like women who are in fit shape.
I would use brewer’s yeast, because it is cheaper than the protein supplements, even though it’s got 50% protein, and all the amino acids, + B vitamins and trace minerals. The B vites help metabolize fat, and the calorie count is negligible. It’s not a “bulk up” supplement for those who burn thousands of calories pumping iron. Some people hate the taste. I take mine straight in water, because if I mix it with anything else it just messes up the taste of the mixer.
I am always searching online for articles that can help me. Thank you
