Do you currently have a protein shake after your workout?
You should, research has shown that drinking a protein shake immediately after your workout will increase the amount of body fat you lose.
Here's the study:
Ann Nutr Metab. 2000
Two groups were compared over a 12 weeks period to see which group would lose the most fat.
Group 1 was a diet only group. Group 2 was a diet, strength training, and protein shake after exercise group.
Group 1 lost 5.5 pounds of body fat with no gains in muscle. Not Bad.
Group 2 lost 15.4 pounds of body fat and gain 8.8 pounds of fat. That's 10 pounds more than Group 1! And they gained muscle tissue which will increase their metabolism and promote future fat loss.
So do you still think you don't need a protein shake? The research states otherwise.

I think you mean "Muscle"
And did they really gain muscle and lose fat at the same time? Assuming they were in a calorie deficit how is that possible?
