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
