Losing belly fat is the most common request I get as a coach. Let me explain the role that protein shakes have in fat loss. Should you be having a protein shake before or after you workout? How long before you workout should you have a protein shake?
Fat loss is a campaign to change your body composition through diet, exercise and your lifestyle change to keep it off.
Protein plays a crucial role in fat loss, and the science of fat loss is closely tied to protein intake. Protein shakes can help!

Hi Paul, I really enjoy your fitness and nutrition content. If you're able to get all of your protein needs met from whole foods would you prefer that, or would you still opt add protein shakes to the mix?
THANK YOU!
Years ago i had a condition which made it very hard to swallow food. I lived on Metrx and Frostys from Wendys(no lie) i dropped 43 pounds and was in the best shape of my life
The gym that i went has an evolt machine underfied my protein needed calories and fat etc . your videos help a lot tnx
I'm lean and muscular 57 years old tryed on and off protein powders in many different ways for one I've found a lean low carb powder is best for what after now in past that didn't bother me as i was after size bulk so had before and after gym but now the powder have it's 2 scoops a hit twice a day but I have 1 scoop before 1 after gym so half what's advised and works great for me as i use just as a boost to my food protein intake which is 2 meals a day 6eggs and red meat pint milk natural yogurt got few people to try it and worked for them also
Thanks ! I like your way of thinking I’m 62, female and I use to use whey protein. I think I’m going to buy protein for post workout today and see if I feel better. Have a great Sunday !
The value in Protein shakes is you can get around 50 grams in a 240 calorie shake
Low calories, high brotein
If you want 50 gram of protein in red meat, you are easting twice as many calories
Your calculator says I need to eat 5400 calories
I’m 23 weighing 230pounds and want to get down to 200pounds
Waw thank you Sir your calculator is pure genius !
its really confusing !! in order to lose fat you have to continue dropping your calories , and now you say keep your Protein @ your target weight , but the calories has to come from somewhere to drop weight otherwise your diet will be protein only diet ..everyone tells you something else..
Before and after photos tell it all — baloney!
I'm not sure it's always belly fat that is the issue with many guys in their 40s+ It's sometimes loose belly skin! As you age it's not easy to fully comprehend that you are aging and are now in the cross-over zone!! (that you are not yet used to the aging process of no longer having the luxury of youth on your side). This is where the elasticity you once had around your mid-section becomes far less happy about springing back into shape …making it much harder to achieve the tight abs you once had in your youth.
Protein shakes are a supplement…to supplement real food. Use both.
I’ve eaten cereal and toast for breakfast for 40 years. I’m trying to cancel that in replacement for a protein shake that will encourage weight loss (but keep me feeling full). Can someone recommend a good brand?
Ive heard it said that using whey powders worsens or amplifies insulin resistance. Is that true?
I have trouble hitting my protein but not going over my calories for my diet was 230 pounds cutting down so I switched to 1 meal a day with 126 grams of protein shakes timed ever 3 hours but on weekend breakfast and dinner 2 shakes in between is this OK seems to be working and holding muscle staying in 2500 calories doing this to before was at 3700 ?
Good one!!!!

Please explain how you get 150 grams of protein in a calorie deficit! Eat 5 protein shakes a day?
What are your thoughts on organic plant based protien? I switched late last year however I am not sure if it's doing what it should do. Do you have any recommendations of a protien powder for a 37 year old woman (myself). I run 6 miles a day BTW and lately been feeling exhausted, run down, & have extreme inflamation. (Been running for 7 years btw as Info) thanks for your time!
Great video
I’m a vegetarian and can’t take protein shake as it constipates me
Fyi, thanks for offering a free calc but i believe your final BMR and TDEE numbers are labeled incorrectly and shluld be the other way around. Maybe im wrong but worth double checking. Thanks
Im so annoyed with the causal workout dude sitting next to me saying dude real foods bro. Here is the experiment i have started and will do it for 8 weeks: 200 grams of protein from all shakes, maybe 100-200 cals from small carb load post lift, and whatever healthy fats add up to. 500 test, heavy lifts for 3-4x more Yates/Mentzer protocol and 10,000 steps/+ NEAT throughout the day. 9 hours of sleep, no drugs and no alcohol. Any objections?
I think that early on in people’s fitness journey there is a lot of misunderstanding of what a protein shake is and we see as something that’s necessary when in fact it’s just a supplement. That being said it’s still very useful if you’re not eating enough protein. I fast every morning and work long hours, I just don’t have the time to eat that much meat and eggs
Excellent and focused information that clears things up. Thank you very much!
A true bodybuilder balances protein with calories. Protein shakes are just chicken breasts without the cholesterol. Allowing you to ingest your target protein grams that day while staying under your caloric limit.
Eating 200g of protein from just chicken breast will push you over your caloric limit. Protein shakes allows you to have a food source to fit protein goal with caloric restriction
i am 5'11" 198 lbs. 42" waist.
I am active and weight train, but my muscle according to the analyzer at the Y keeps going down. Bodyfat stays about the same. I count calories and log everything i eat. typically around 2200 calories and 110-140 grams of protein. Is the protein the reason why? Its extremely difficult to get the protein up in the 170-180 gram range yet keep the calories that low.
Shakes digest so fast.
Best explanation of the research on the anabolic window that I’ve heard. Thanks!
I've learned that for myself (working overnights) even if it costs me more per month I keep my fridge full of on the go protein shakes. I will drink 2-3 per day, just because I know it will keep me from snacking through the night or I can drink one before crashing after work before sleeping.
Arent protein shakes processed food n their bioavailability is very low compared to food?
As a diabetic, need to find protein shake with no sugar. Stevia sweetened
I wish these videos would also put in a caveat about potential protein over-consumption. I was using protein supplements that, together with my protein-rich diet, got me slightly above 2g per kg of bodyweight (yeah, I don't do lbs, sorry). That is considered the maximum of what's advisable, if one trusts studies. Also, one crucial issue is that the body can only synthesize so much per meal – and I overdid it there (too), with protein shake after the workout PLUS lunch shortly after. The problem is that the excess protein doesn't just disappear – it gets dumped into the bloodstream, and the kidneys have to get rid of it. As a result, the filtration rate (GFR) was well below what it should have been. I then cut protein to about 1.6g per bodyweight for 2 months AND made sure I wasn't having too much in one sitting, as a result of which the GFR value is now back up where it belongs. So, public service announcement: there IS such a thing as too much protein.
Too much sugar in protein shakes..
Ok,,I'll try
My biggest fat loss was taking alcohol out of the diet. Once the booze stopped the fat started to melt right off. Made getting back into shape waaaay easier.
The bottle will always kill your gains, gents! Do not forget that.
I put chocolate whey protein in my coffee every morning. I'm not nearly as hungry throughout the work day since starting this.
