What’s A Fat Burning Shake?
First of all, let’s make that clear: You DON’T need shakes – even if the ripped guy at your local gym tells you so. So if you can’t find or afford high quality protein powder, or simply don’t feel like drinking shakes, don’t worry. You can get all the nutrition you need through whole foods. That being said, shakes can be a great addition to your diet, especially if you work out intensely (highly recommended if you have any intention to burn fat).
When Should I Drink Shakes?
The most important time to get a serving of protein and carbs is right after your workout. You could use whole foods and have a meal right after your workout, but I personally find shakes more convenient. Another great time would be to use them as a breakfast, or as your pre-workout meal (if you like to eat before exercise). In that case, you’ll need to experiment how your body reacts to certain quantities of shakes. The last thing you want is to feel full and bloated during your intense workout.If that happens to you, try drinking half less the next time around. Also, don’t be afraid to skip the breakfast altogether and workout fasted if you feel like it. Most stories about muscle loss are over-exaggerated and there’s little chance that exercising on an empty stomach will really reduce your performance. If you’re afraid to lose muscle while working out in a fasted state, consume about 10 g of high quality BCAAs like BioTrust BCAA Matrix™ before your workout.
What Do I Need In My Shake?
If you drink your shake after your workout, you need both protein and carbs. Together, they will put your body in repair and recovery mode – which is critical to maximize your fat burning and keep your metabolism strong. If you drink your shake before your workout or as a breakfast, you don’t really need carbs in it. Carbs may help you perform better though; you’ll need to test what works best for you. All your protein shakes should contain a couple of grams of fat. Fat helps you digest protein better, and is essential to virtually every process in your body. That being said, you shouldn’t consume more than a couple of grams of fat around your workout (before or right after) to maximize your fat burning.
