A member asked:

Begining to run and do weights. what is best to eat/drink after a workout? trying to lose some belly fat & gain muscle. whey protein shakes work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes we protein shakes would work for you .It's hard to lose fat and gain weight and muscle at the same time. To lose weight you need to be on a calorie deficit diet. Set 1 goal first and try to achieve it.
