If you don't supply the muscle with protien your body will never be able to repair it properly. If your trying to lose weight, I would definitly add more protien and cut out the simple carbs supplied by fruits your eating. You definitly need more greens in your diet, as well as complex carbs. Check out the Grocery List sticky at the top of this forum for some great food ideas.

borpillicus Posts: 454 Joined: 2003/03/13	2005/04/14, 02:00 PM Yes, most definitly. Make it with water/ice and not with milk to keep the slow digesting (dairy) protiens out of it. You need fast protien and it doesn't get any faster then whey!

It's of GREAT improtance to get carbs into your body in this period too, as they will have been depleted by your heavy workout or HIIT training. as for creatine, for 5-7 days load 20g per day, once in the morning and once 8- 12 hours later or after a workout. then after that, consume 5g a day for about 7 weeks, and then take about 3 weeks off. then start it all over if you want.. hope this helps.

You want something that will be absorbed into your body ASAP and dairy will not do that. There are plenty of other good protien choices other then whey, like tuna or chicken.
