You are overweight but you have been working out Should you still drink protein shakes or rely on your workout to make you gain muscle and lose weight?

Protein Shakes as their name suggest are supplements which provide protein to growing muscles in your body. To gain mass you would need the extra protein but be mindful that protein consumed would eventually turn into fat if it is not utilized by your body. As a general rule for bodybuilders world wide, you can never think of gaining muscle or mass and weight loss at the same time..... But i guess if you work your muscles and do enough cardio, you could ensure muscle gain and loss of fat.

So if you are an individual with some extra flab, work out to first lose the flab and then when its gone, take the help of protein shake to fuel the growth of your muscles. I know I know, you must be thinking it would take twice as long, but believe me the fat lost shall stay off longer and your muscles shall look awesome.

good luck!
