I'm looking for opinions on the matter. I been drinking this after my runs and weight lifting sessions. I don't know if it's a placebo effect or not, but I feel really good after drinking it. Overall, it's not interfering with my fat loss. I just wanted to know what some of you had to say about this.

Thanks

    if it isn't interfering with your weight loss, and it makes you feel good drinking it, keep drinking it.

    i'm a firm believer in that you only have one life, and if your biggest guilty pleasure is a glass of chocolate milk, then you arent doing too bad. good luck!!

    This is actually a generally accepted post-workout drink. It provides your body with a bit of protein, and more importantly it replenishes the energy stores in your muscles that were spent during your workout. This helps your muscles recover and repair.

    I drink 2 cups after every workout, you want to keep it to about 80 g of carbs each time.

    chocolate protein shake would proably be better, with 0% milk but that's just my opinion :)
