Question

Hi I recently bought instant whey muscle and size as i was recommended it. I have quiet a lot of body fat to loose and am looking to loose around 1-2 stone but I really want to tighten up my body. Will this help me do so and will it help me loose body fat I am on a healthy diet and work out around 6 times a week both cardio and weights etc. I m just worried taking this will bulk me up. Also when is the best time to take it Thanks :)

Answer

Hi Charlene, the only way you can bulk up is by doing a heavy weight lifting routine such as what a bodybuilder would do. Whey protein simply repairs and strengthens your muscles, it will indeed help you lose weight as it will constantly feed your muscles. This means when your body needs fuel it will not be able to eat your muscle and will have to look for alternatives which will be empty calories and bodyfat.

Question

I have been using Reflex Diet for the past month in addition to going the gym four times a week. I have noticed weight loss and muscle gain, though I m not totally sure whether this is down to the supplement or just the exercise. Either way, I m wondering whether it would be beneficial for me to switch to just instant whey I usually have a shake when I wake and then work out a couple hours later, followed by an afterglow. I m just wondering what the real difference would be if I switched to whey

Answer

Hi Rob

Diet protein contains CLA, green tea and a few other added compound proven to help with bodyfat loss. Instant whey is a great protein supplement you can use for a variety of purposes, however I would advise sticking with diet protein and after glow. After glow is a sensational post workout supplement and the CLA in diet protein takes 1-2 months to fully kick in so with a month under your belt if you continue with the diet protein you should continue to notice weight loss and you will not plateau anyway near as soon as you would do on instant whey alone.

i go to gym 3days a week i do 30mins cardio running mechine 20mins cross trainer 20mins bike and 10mins rowing am looking to get sixpack and tone muscles not builk more tuck would i also need to do weight training to i take jack3d half hour before workout and iv instant whey but ent to sure when to take it with takeing jack3d also would instant whey b better with milk or water

Answer

Hi Alan, weight training alongside cardio would be ideal,as it hikes your metabolism for a longer period of time meaning more calories burned. It would be best to take your instant whey within 30 mins after training an maybe another shake before you go to bed. This will help your body repair and also fire up your metabolism and keep you fuller for longer. I would recommend mixxing your instant mass with water for maximum effect.

Question

Just bought the instant whey as I was recommended it. Im trying to build lean muscle and lift weights 3/4 times a week. I would like to gain another 5/6 pounds. I have quite a gud diet but probably not getting enough calories. How much of the instant whey do you think I should take And when are the best times to take it Maybe I could do with a gainer, but I don t want substantial mass.

Answer

Hi Daniel

A weight gainer would be the easier option as it provides a mixture of carbohydrates and protein topping up the calorie content of each shake, however using the instant whey you currently have you want to consume at least 1.5g-2.0g of protein per kg of bodyweight. Dosage is entirely up to yourself but try to have the shake in between meals so you body is constantly fed protein and always take it after a workout too.

i have just started taking promax diet protein and i was wondering what type of training i should be doing when iam on promax diet to lose weight.thanks

Answer

Hi Dean

Weight loss is all about managing your calories and ensuring your body is in a state of negative calories i.e. when you consume less then required each day to burn stored energy instead.
Keep to your current training routine to stimulate muscle fibres and just ensure your diet is good and increase the amount of cardiovascular exercise performed.

Question

Hi,
I have just bought reflex instant whey. My goal is to Get a six pack, i have low body fat as it is however i want to drfine my core muscles while also further bulking up my upper body.

My uncle, ex body builder says i need to consume a product with more calories in it however where ever i read i am advised that i should be stripping away the fat with a low caloric diet. What do i need to do

Is this the product for me, if so what times should i take it as i was advised twice a day, post workout and before bed

Answer

Hi Aaron

It sounds like you want to bulk up and add lean muscle whilst also losing bodyfat. The reality is that this is a very difficult and complicated approach, what is a lot easier and in the long run will give you better results is to focus on one goal first then the other later, for example maybe bulk up over the winter months with a high calorie shake such as instant mass. Then try to keep your muscle mass but remove fat using a high protein shake but reduce overall calorie intake to burn the bodyfat to reveal more definition in your core muscles.

Question

what is the best protein to lose weight on

Answer

Hi Dean

Instant whey is a great protein shake to use for weight loss, the simple rule with weight loss is to consume less calories then is required by your body. Reflex instant whey could be used post training and in between your meals to keep protein intake high preserving muscle, inhibiting your appetite a bit and maintaining constant blood sugar and energy levels.

Hi Curtis,

If you combine it with a calorie surplus and progressive weight training, there's no reason why you wouldn't gain weight - and more importantly, lean muscle.
