Many people believe that using protein shakes is only for those who want to gain extreme muscle mass.
While very good for building muscle whey protein is also a great supplement for those who want to positively alter their body composition.
When the body digests protein it provides a high level of thermogenesis. Thermogenesis is the "energy cos"t of digesting and metabolising food.
Protein provides the greatest thermogenesis, and whey protein (the most common form of protein found in a protein shake) is superior to other forms of protein like casien or soy for elevating the thermic effect.
Supplementing with a whey protein shake after a work out can improve insulin sensitivity which helps to support body composition.
For the best fat loss results use whey protein once per day post (after) work out.
On a side note its a good habit to check the ingredients of a whey protein shake as many have added sugars which can hinder your fat loss efforts.
