    Thoughts on "Muscle Milk"

    I just wanted to get some peoples thoughts on the supplement Muscle Milk. I was thinking about giving it a try. I've heard mixed things about it because of its high fat to protein ratio. However to me, it seems like the fats included in MM are good and healthy ones that will in fact help you BURN fat not gain it. When presenting feedback bear in mind that I am lifting 5 days a week and performing cardio 4-5 times a week. Also my main goal is to gain lean muscle mass and cut down on body fat. i.e not just have bulky muscles... actually look defined and cut. Also keep in mind I am watching what i eat to the furthest extent that i ever have.

    Is this supplement for me??? if yes, great if no, what supplement would you recommend that would help me meet my goals?

    P.S I have next to no genetics for muscle. Just thought I'd throw that out there for something to consider when writing feedback.

    Also if you would like more specific info on my workouts or my diet plan that might give you a better idea of whats best for me then just let me know. I'd be happy to write it up for you.


    THANK YOU!!

    I LOVE the taste of that stuff...I'd drink before I had to go to sleep or if I knew I'd be skipping my next meal.

    I like the fact that they sell it in a lot of places but it's not cheap here. $5.00 for a small bottle.

    muscle milk is a solid product with great taste. i love it. it can be pricy compared to others in my opinion. but if ur looking for taste and something that packs some decent calories in a serving then muscle milk takes the gold

    I honestly wasn't too impressed with it.
    the RTD's are frikkin nasty, the powders were ok I guess...
    I liked the 'collegiate' for a quick meal replacement, but other than that, it didn't do too much for me.

    great mass builder or meal replacement..but other than that, it's pretty much tastey. I like it but I think it's too "rich" for me. I like ALN's Maximus better but alot of people swear by MM

    MM is very convenient and tastes great, but you pay the price for it, personally I just had major digestion issues with it.

    A lot of people say that either its a good mass builder or that it just puts unneeded weight on. If that is the case then why is MM's main marketing pitch that it builds lean muscle and burns fat.

    You can believe the advertisers, you have rely on your own judgment.

    I passed upon a Brazilian dance weight loss crap and they claim to spot reduce weight loss.
    Then there's this gum that helps you lose wieght...

    this really makes no sense... excess calories put weight on.

    I have used MM and it's ok but as far as protein goes I am content with Optiums.MM has hit several markets but still taste like protein to me instead of a milkshake.Its better tasting than most but the fats aren't worth the trade off sometimes.

    In the past I've used Muscle Milk pre-bed and found great success, especially if I'm working out first thing in the morning.

    The makers of MM 'Cytosport ' have some kick ass rtd's in like orange and a green flavor that are damn good.They remind me of the isopure but taste alot better.Their called Cytosport Pure Protein and they dont have the fat or carbs of MM.

    I've tried the muscle milk once. Seems like it doesn't work on me. Maybe because I didn't keep up the routine work out on schedule.

    Its just protein, carbs and fat. You have to make it work for you. I can't see how one person claims it burns fat or adds muscle while other say it puts fat on. Those people have bigger problems than MM. I'm not endorsing the product either. its just some protein powder, it won't make or break your diet. If you can afford it, it tastes good and you can drink it more as a meal replacement than a post w/o thing because of the fat content. Its not magic, its simple science.

    If it fits into your daily diet I don't see how it can put on weight?? I have dropped 92 lbs, and have about 30 or so to go and I use it. I do however use it as a meal replacement (3-5 times a week). I stick to whey isolate for my after workout protein. I guess when I read the label, then looked at the times they suggest you use the product is where I got confused? Everything on the label suggests a meal replacement to me. Or at best a pre-workout supplement.

    The people saying it is too expensive must be buying it from GNC. I get it just as cheap if not cheaper than many brand name whey proteins. I have been buying MM from TaylorNutrition here at IM.

    ditto, taylors has a great price, and when the 2.2lbs goes on sale for like 17$ you cant beat it.
