loosing weight

Do your cardio in the evening. Have a protein shake post workout with some simple sugars, drink 1/2 immediately, then sip the other 1/2 over about 30 minutes. I would also suggest having a meal about an hour after your workout with a decent protein source and complex carb. Make up another protein shake before your cardio and drink about 1/3 of it right before and the other 2/3 during. The protein shakes will not make you gain weight as long as you stay under your maintenance calories. -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.
