Hi

I have been working out for a few weeks with my PT and just started added in pilates to my routine

Mon - Pilates
Tues - Run
Weds - Interval training
Thurs - pilates
Fri - weight training.
Weekend - rest :)

I'm getting married in 3 months, and away that I want to trim down lost about a stone ish and have a leaner more toned figure

I have just brought PhD Belgian Chocolate Flavoured Diet Whey Protein Powder 1kg
http://www.amazon.co.uk/PhD-Belgian-Chocolate-Flavoured-Protein/dp/B003AX6DRS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398896050&sr=8-1&keywords=phd+diet+whey+protein

How often should I take it, just my cardio days? I'm doing two days low carb and 1 day high carb diet too

Any help or advice would be great

Thanks
Heidi

    I try to eat more protein on days I'm lifting and the day after lifting....which,now that I think about it, would be most days if I lift 3x a week...lol

    Honestly, I think I have at least one scoop of protein powder every day to help me hit my protein macro. I eat meat or greek yogourt or something with every meal, but it' still hard to hit my protein goal so the powder helps....now if I could just learn to like the taste.....:ohwell:

    Whey protein isn't magic, just a convenient and - ounce for ounce - inexpensive way to meet your protein macros. Since your protein needs are highest on exercise days, you'll most likely benefit from taking int on those days. That said, if you're meeting (or, better, exceeding) your protein macros regardless of whey protein intake, adding whey protein generally won't increase your rate of loss.
