When is the Best Time to Use a Protein Supplement? Q&A of the Week

By

Every week I answer a question or questions that are sent in to me regarding fat burning, weight loss, diet, fitness and or the Fat X program. Today's question was e-mailed in and it's in regards to taking a protein supplement.

Hi Coach Rollie,

I've been reading your blog for a while and I appreciate the tips and the workout plan. Anyway, I was wondering about supplementing my diet with protein. When is the best time to use a protein supplement.

Thanks a lot,

Daniel

The best time to have a protein supplement is when you feel the need to boost your protein intake, or you feel like you won't get a chance to have a good protein packed meal for a few hours. For example, I usually make a protein smoothie in the morning because I know I haven't had a good source of protein for possible 8-10 hours and I feel I need a protein boost. It's also convenient since I tend to be in a rush. I will also try to get in another protein smoothie post workout because I know that the faster I get protein into my system, the faster the recovery process can begin.

I've written about this before, but just as a quick reminder, protein feeds your muscle and your muscle will help boost your metabolism. All good if you want to burn fat and lose weight efficiently.

When it comes to workout routines, there are plenty of them.  You can find them both offline and online.  With so many of them out there, it's hard to choose.  It becomes even more difficult to choose a workout routine because of the slick marketing and the continuous perpetuation of myths and misconceptions by the fitness industry which tends to place profit over truth.  In this post, I will help show you how to separate the good workout routines from the bad and why ROI is important. (Some fitness companies are not going to be happy with me.)

Advanced Tip for Better Workouts and Improved Results

Have you ever had a peanut butter and garlic sandwich?   Yeah, me neither! Peanut butter is delicious and so is garlic (used properly). But, while each is a good ingredient on its own, together they make for a disaster. You can view exercises and how they are implemented in a workout in the same way.  Think of exercises as ingredients. Exercises  can work well together like peanut butter and jelly, or, they can suck and waste your time and energy.   There’s a very important concept I learned many years ago that can improve your results, not only in fitness and any fitness goal such as fat loss, increasing strength, speed etc., but also in such things as cooking, music, art and many other realms of life.   What’s that concept?

Fat X Fat Burning Diet Plan

The fat burning Fat X Diet plan is critical if you want to maximize fat loss while getting through my 12 Day Fat X Program.   The average person I've personally put through the program has lost 10 lbs and 2 inches around their waist.  It is extremely important to stick to the food percentage guidelines as closely as possible to burn fat optimally.   While most diet plans are extremely difficult to stick to, the Fat X Diet is not, because in all actuality, the fat burning Fat X Diet is actually more of a philosophy than the traditional sense of the term "diet".   The Fat X Diet concept helps prioritize what you eat, so that you can simplify the topic of dieting and get better and longer lasting fat burning (fat loss) results.  This really works! And, it's something you can stick to long term.   Like a fine suit, the fat burning Fat X Diet can, and should be tailored to fit you and your lifestyle.  The food percentage guidelines and philosophy behind the diet
