A member asked:
I am trying to lose weight. i work out at least 5 times a week. should i drink a protein shake after every workout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drink water: Weight loss is acheived through life style changes and dieting. Exercising increases your body's caloric needs. Protein shakes can have significant calories in them ( check label details) and may be counterproductive. Drink water instead since exercise can dehydrate you.
