My question is with the different types of protein shakes and mixes out there. Currently I am working out 4-6 times a week with weight training and cardio. I take Body Fortress Whey Protein:
....only because it's on of the cheapest I've found. Along with a 3 meal a day diet, of a protein source and vegetables, and with a Body Fortress protein shake in between each meal.
Is there any real difference to say a product like CytoSports' Muscle Milk
Both seem pretty similar. But one is 2.5 times more expensive. And then of course they always tell you take a certain number of their other supplements to maximize the effect. Does it really matter what kind of protein shakes you take, and are the other supplements really necessary? Things like pills to boost fat loss, powders to add to shakes to make recovery time less or boost energy, etc, etc....Do those things even do anything for you, or is it just marketing crap that makes you believe their product is doing something for you that would have been accomplished any way through a better diet and a good workout routine?
Basically I'm want to know if I looking at spending $30 a month to $100+ an month on my supplements to reach my goal.
Right now my goal is to loose some inches around my waist and looking to put on some lean muscle in my upper and lower body...not a ton, but enough to make it noticeable...more definitional than bulk.
You guys always give great information and I appreciate all responses.
