Hey folks, I was wondering if you could help me out. I was wondering if incorporating a whey protein shake into my diet will help me get better results. (I want to loose fat, gain muscle, and lean up). I recently revamped my workout routine. I lift weights 3 days a week, and due 3 days of HIIT. I've heard alot about the benefits of protein shakes, but I wasn't quite sure if they were just for serious bodybuilders, or if someone like me could benefit from them, thanks!

The protein shake right after your workout is really important. There are many responses to this topic. Use the Search fitBuddy at the bottom and you'll see tons. Check out bb1's posts, they go more into the scientific explanations.
Hope this helps.
