How does a protein shake diet help you burn fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No carbs: If you take in a protein shake that is low to no carbohydrates, your body may break down fat to use as a source of fuel to run the muscles and organs in your body. Its not the healthiest way to supply energy since your body runs better on glucose and the breakdown of starches.
