Quote: Mike Oxlong "Does anyone use any protein shakes or diet supplements in order to aid with their weight/body goals?
I just ask as there seems to be numerous different companies offering what basically looks like the same stuff - so just wondering is there any difference and anyone prefer/recommend one over another?'"
Yes. But they are not magic beans. They are precisely what they suggest they are, supplements. Sort your diet (or nutritional programme as I call it to save confusion) out and use them to aid. There's plenty of advice. Check out LDNMuscle, I'm sure they have a good run down of advice on what to look for.
For me;
USN myofusion as a post exercise/early morning breakfast shake(mixed with oats, fruit, peanut butter, an egg and coconut oil. Perfect at 530 am before a 630 weights session).
ON Casein at night.
Everything else is supported through strict control of my food intake.
