    Question Do I need a protein suppliment?

    Hi Guys,
    I am currntly training 4 times a week for an hour & a half, my diet is ok & I will soon start taking Lipo 6 to lose some fat.

    From what i understand, i should really also be taking some kind of protein suppliment like whey to build muscle? Is this correct?

    Should I wait until I have finished the course of Lipo & work the fat off first or take it as well? if so what brand, there seem to be loads of different ones available & I find it a bit overwhelming to tell you the truth!!

    I Have seen protein bars as well, are they any good?

    Also waht is the difference between a whey suppliment & a Creatine suppliment & should I be using both?

    Any help welcome

    In my experience Id say if you do it make sure sit ups is a part of your workout...or something ab/cardio related...

    perhaps Im the only one who tries to work out very half assed and only be my upper body minus the abs...when I took it, it worked everywhere but there, I got a gut, protein turned to fat where it wasnt worked out...obviously

    All the Whey and ON protein seems to be what is preffered around these parts, and for the $, I can understand why.

    What you have does look good...but yes, the protein will turn to fat if your not totally working out your body.

    yes you should, it is hard to get adequate protein intake from food alone, also using whey protein post work-out is ideal for the fast absorption rate.

    I wouldn't say anyone NEEDS to use protein supplements. However, they are really handy and as Rob mentioned it can be hard to get enough protein just from food consumption; supplements make everything convenient. Whey protein supplements are also considered optimal for post workout shakes.
