Hi all,

been stumbling across various posts about protein shakes and all. I live in Africa, had never seen one before.......till last week at a pharmacy store, they had just imported it, So i am curious, wanna try it out, but wish to know what exactly its for. how does it help weight loss? Am i supposed to take it instead of food?

    protein helps to build muscle which burns more fat to put it plain and simple :)

    Some people do use it as a meal substitute as well. They're really nice after a work out.

    It will help you recover more quickly from your workout. I've noticed I'm not as sore any more now that I started incorporating an adequate amount of protein in my diet. Protein shakes tastes really good too. =)

    More popular with the Body Builder/Weight Lifter types. A LOT of protein (usually and a LOT OF CARBS) - so you can get protein without eating a couple of chickens/cows.
