Makes really little difference that has been proven. A protein shake post workout has become 'conventional wisdom'. However, keep in mind for years and years folks built some pretty impressive physiques before whey was ever utuilized by simply eating good food post workout. There still is no credible evidence that I have ever seen that shows any real long term gains from doing the immediately after workout protocol.
As I have said time and time again, yes, research shows 'supercompensation' of glucose, but this has to be 'earned' to recieve it. What is meant by that is this reasearch was done on hard working atheletes, endurance runners, bikers, etc.
I would venture to guess that with the normal workout you are doing on a bowflex, this will not be the case with you where you would see massive results of any type.
In fact, if you are trying to lose weight, it may indeed just be unecessary calorie intake.
