do the intervals 3-4 times a week

Do the weights only once by doing it one time at night

Dont worry about WHEN to take the whey but...

Just take whey as a supplement and use it whenever you dont have time to make meals or for convience

I bought the GNC 100% Whey Protein and i'm taking 1 scoop when i wake up, and 1 scoop after i work out, usually 8pm - 9pm.
Since on Monday i'm starting my own summer weight loss plan, starting at 6:30 - 7:30 interval cardio; sprinting straights and jogging/running the curbs. Is it too much stress on my body if I do that, then after go home and do dumbbell workouts + Abs, and then at night do the same dumbbell + abs?.. When should I take the whey protein, right away when i get up or after im done with cardio and dumbbell+abs?

YES

the TOTAL protein you take for the day should add up to 1-t-1.5 grams per pound and NOT PER MEAL
Adrian Bryant | 05.29.09 - 12:58 pm | #

Its me again should I take 1 gram for every pound every time I take whey protein or should it add up to that through out the day?
sam | 05.29.09 - 12:32 pm | #

sam,

You should take 1-to-1.5 grams of protein (of any protein) per pound you weigh

Pete Robins,

Yes - it'll help but you probably just need to look at NowLoss.com/50

I use to play football years ago.
Use to be built like the incredible hulk, and now I'm built
like The Frig. Can using the whey
product along with eating right, and exercising good for losing the
weight? at 46 it is hard to get back into the swing of things. I'm
not try to look like the hulk again, but if I can get down to Tyler Perry's weight, I'd be happy.

golfrockstr,

If you're trying to gain muscle then yes... it's best to have your protein after you workout so your muscles can recover and grow faster
Adrian Bryant | 01.14.09 - 10:23 am | #

should i drink whey protein before or after a workout? i have heard some say right after, because your muscles need it. i have lost 50 pounds on weight watchers and as a man i felt my muscle weakening. the program encourage working out or activity everyday. i started lifting to help with muscle gain and weight loss. i drink 2-3 servings a day. is this ok.

eliasdelatorre,

Yes - whey protein will help you lose weight but instead of focusing on whey protein...

Look at this EZ weight loss plan

new_me83,

The only reason you'd gain weight is if you ate too much so go here to see if you were eating the right amount of calories or...

You could have gained some muscle in your upper body from working out

Hi, I recently found your site and I love It!I just change to eating more veggies like a fast.My concern is about the whey protein, I use it about 3 months ago and stop. because I gain weight from 176 to 190, i was shock, My work out was on my upper body arms,and chest. my I don't look any different, my stomach is a inch more than my 36'inch waist use to be a 34 around that time. I drank the whey before and after my workout.Please,can u tell me what I did wrong?

cfranklinlvn,

Protein PERIOD is good and one really isn't better for anyone but...

Soy protein has many other non-weight loss benefits which women may find useful like for example... Soy Protein contains lecthin which helps women get rid of cellulite and You can go here to see the other benefits soy protein has for women

As a woman who's had gastric bypass surgery, I use Whey Protein as a primary source of protein in the morning because I'm not a breakfast or true morning person. Is whey protein or soy protein better for women?

Bob,

Whey protein is good for weight loss, and gaining muscle and like I said...

The only thing that causes weight gain is eating too much and being inactive so...

Losing 15 pounds and toning up can be helped out by eating protein & drinking whey protein.
Adrian Bryant | 06.19.08 - 8:19 am | #

Hello there, i love your site and its helped me a lot. I was looking at the labels on various bottles of whey protein and they said "do not use for weight loss" but you have it listed to use it for weight loss, so is it good or bad for weight loss? And help would be great. I am doing the 30 day shred with jillian michaels as you had advertised on your site. I just trying to lose some weight and tone up about 15 lbs. But i was going to buy they whey protein but it said its not good for weight loos. So can you help me out at all? Is it ok to take or is it bad to take? If you are trying to lose 15 lbs and trying to tone up? by the way i am 5 foot 6 and 3/4 and weigh 163.6 lbs. And every bmi chart i have looked at says i am over weight. So hence i don't want to be over weight. Plus in January i quit smoking. Thanks for all your help. Take care
Bob

The only thing that causes weight gain is eating too much and little activity so...

NO - whey protien nor protein bars make you gain weight - eating way too much food in general makes you gain weight.
Adrian Bryant | 05.12.08 - 6:06 pm | #

I used to eat protein bars while playing collegiate basketball and I think I gained a lot of weight from it. I'm afraid to ever touch things like that ever again. Will whey protein promote weight gain? I'm a female. Or could your promise me that this will help me lose weight? I'm definitely going to give your diet plan. I've been through worse.
rerebanki@hotmail.com | 05.12.08 - 2:27 pm | #

Yes - you can take whey OR soy to help with weight loss - it's just that soy has some benefits for women other than weight loss like preventing water weight gain during menopause
Adrian bryant | 05.12.08 - 8:17 am | #

I found the 20 lbs. in 3-4 week diet and was just reading it over, and said soy protien is for women and the whey protien is for men.Is it okay for me to be taking the whey? That's the kind I already have.
wobblypop_69@hotmail.com | 05.12.08 - 12:48 am | #

kevkid59,

It depends on what kind you get I guess but... the kind i use has to be drinked shortly after mixing
Adrian Bryant | 03.13.08 - 9:42 pm | #

Do you really have to drink whey protein immediatly right after you mix it?
