The studies have shown that ingesting simple carbohydrates with whey protein (in the form of a shake) assist in muscle building, recovery and in body transformation in general.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, these studies have been so convincing that you&#8217;ll be hard pressed to find a fitness expert who doesn&#8217;t vehemently advocate that all trainees drink this type of post-workout shake immediately after every workout.  Let&#8217;s step away from the trend for a second and investigate whether or not this is the best protocol for everyone to follow.<\/p>\n<p>In my experience, I have found that post-workout nutrition is very important for the reasons mentioned above.  If your goal is to gain weight, these shakes are a great way to consume a lot of &#8220;clean&#8221; calories at a time when your body is least likely to store these calories as fat.<\/p>\n<p>Following a tough workout, your muscles energy stores will be depleted.  Depleted muscles are hungry for replenishment and therefore soak up the majority of calories ingested at this time.  This makes less calories available to be directed towards body fat stores.<\/p>\n<p>But we want to burn body fat at the fastest rate possible!  Will drinking a sugar laden shake enhance our fat loss efforts?  Of course not.  To the contrary, I have found that these shakes could be detrimental to your fat burning efforts.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve read all of the research and unfortunately, the research has not been performed on subjects whose primary goal is fat loss.  Initially, I experimented with these post workout shakes on myself and my fat loss clients.  Their results slowed significantly when clients used these shakes.  I&#8217;ve got mounds of real world results to prove my assertion that in order to maximize fat burning; you need to lose those high-carb post workout shakes!<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;re probably asking, &#8220;What should my post workout meal consist of?&#8221;  The answer is simple.  Just eat a solid meal!  This meal will be structured just like any of your 5-6 daily meals.  Be sure to consume this meal within one hour following your workout.<\/p>\n<p>Without fail, you will lose body fat faster with natural, solid food.  So if burning body fat rapidly is your goal, forget about using post-workout shakes.  Eat a great meal and say goodbye to your body fat.<\/p>\n<div class='uawresource'>\n<div style='italic;' class='uawabout'>About the Author:<\/div>\n<div class='uawlinks'>Click here for my 15 potent fat loss methods and discover <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howtogetrippedabs.com\">how to lose belly fat<\/a> quickly and permanently while carving a great set of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howtogetrippedabs.com\">six pack abs<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-workout nutrition has been an extremely well researched topic in the fitness industry.
