Does drinking whey make you thinner or does it just give you more muscle mass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Whey is a protein. It is a food that can assist you in weight loss if you substitute it for higher calorie or fat rich protein sources. Muscle mass increases with proper nutrition (proteins and balanced nutrients from fruits, vegetables) and weight based training. Adding whey to a good diet through liquid supplements after "workout" fights hunger and promotes muscle "recovery" for your success.
