I've heard alot of stories about ehich products are good and bad. At the moment I'm considering Whey Protein. Can I consume it if I am 15? And am I right to say that I shld consume after wrkout? The most important question of all is, will this increase my body fat as I am trying to loose my excess body fat like no ones business. Will it make me get fatter? I will be buying it from Holland and Barret so the website is: http://www.hollandandbarrett.com . Can u pls tell me the best protein supplement from that shop and advise me. Pls help Thank u -------------- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- Lift big in the kitchen, if you want to lift big in the gym

It's called " Instant Milk & Egg Protein for bodybuilding" The nutrionist there said that this supplement was best for beginners. It tastes ok except for the bits and lumps...which are disgusting. Can u pls tell me if this is good. Can it replace a meal also? I want only lean muscle and I dnt want any extra fat. Does this do what I want it to? The lable link is below, just copy and paste. http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/vf/labels/003151HB.pdf Thanking u in advance. -------------- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- ZAK -- Lift big in the kitchen, if you want to lift big in the gym
