Eating more protein will not make you bulk up. Eating, lifting heavy and resting will bulk you up. This is ideal for eating after your run. You should also eat some sugar (like tossing a handful of M&M's into the blender) to replenish your glycogen. Another good idea is to have some of their casein protein right before you go to bed. Whey is good first thing in the morning and after a workout (it is fast digesting) and casein is good before bed.

There's nothing magic about getting your dietary protein from whey. Drinking a whey protein shake has the same effect as eating some baked chicken breast. Just like all other dietary protein, if you eat enough protein it will be used by your body to build the muscles you've been breaking down.

It helps maintain lean muscle mass. I would not recommend if you are looking for a supplement to gain muscle mass.

This program is for weight loss. However herbalife has a sport/fitness line too, which might help you gain weight and bulk up.

You will end up with a bunch of foam. That stuff is b.s. anyways i returned mine. Just have some honey or a small cup of coffee 45 min before a workout and stay hydrated.

I would not recommend using this at this time .Wait till you get your weight down and then use it . I think it would be stressful on your knees ,hips and ankles plus set you up for shin splint problems.Go to u-tube and look up cross training.Lots of videos . Alternate upper body circuit training with your running. Gradually increase in volume and intensity-former weight training conditioning teacher - wrestling and cross country coach

If you wear arch supports in your running shoes, it would be worth trying in training. I have mixed some jogging in with my walking. Not a marathon but but they helped during and after.

I think it would work well. It has fewer calories than other brands I've used. If you're lifting have a shake right before bed and add one scoop to a breakfast smoothie for a protein bump. Studies show higher protein intake leads to weight loss because it keeps you full longer and it's crucial for healing.

Im a 23 year old woman and Im considering taking this to gain weight. Im am currently 115 pounds, and my height is 5'2. I always had a hard time gaining weight even now as an adult and I just want to know if this will help for a woman like me to just pack on some extra pounds?......I dont want muscle and I dont work out. Im a full time mom and just wanna know if I can add this into my weight gain regimen, and see great results?

The protein in the shake is to speed up muscle recovery after a workout. It won't lead to bulky muscle unless you workout with constantly increasing heavy weights.

It's not necessary, but I would recommend it. It makes u feel full for a longer period of time. And its great for post workouts. .

Personally, I would. You could risk some serious chafing without a layer between the belt and your skin. Of course, I see that the comments below say that it is fine, so then perhaps it's worth a try! :) (I think that it depends on how many hours you are running for!)

Depends, it sure wouldn't hurt. This product aids in recovery and protein synthesis. (uptake of usable protein for your muscles to grow). Optimum is a good product. Hard training and adequate rest are important.

No, it works better and faster if you work out. I know people who have just used it for sweating out weight and it has worked but at a very slow pace. Mostly water weight.
