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.

Short answer YES. I can jog 2 miles easily without sweating. I got this for my stand up desk and after 30 mins I felt something very strange on my arm and slapped at it; It was a bead of sweet. I also noticed that after I completed my "workout" I would sit down and my legs were a bit weak when standing up. I guess the change in exercise pattern really helped.

Increase your protein intake (if you're already not getting enough), keep your sugar/carb intake limited, and eat something every 3-5 hours (small meals/snacks, nothing big). For exercise I primarily do weight training, mostly because I personally hate cardio, and kickboxing/MMA once a week. You don't need to work out for very long; 45 minutes at a time is the general max because your body will start burning muscle instead of fat if you go too long.To be honest, I would skip this product entirely. Maybe you have as bad a reaction as I did, but the caffeine content was a nightmare to deal with; three straight days of no sleep just to lose five pounds? No thanks.Good luck to you!

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.

Start slow man you will show good results just from beginning to workout you won't need a supplement until you get in better shape just eat well and take a normal once a day vitamin

Brenda, I'm not sure but I don't know why it would not be suitable for women as well as men. What I can tell you is it was a waste of money and time. There are many other products out there that can be better supplements to you exercise regimen.

I would say Yes. I weigh the same as you and have run a 1.33 half (which is about 7.15). I train at times daily on mine and once ran 52 miles on it in 3 days. I've not seen any sign of it not being able to keep up.

I don't know anything about bodybuilding or what Bulking Phase is. It is a lactose free product. I know that much.

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.

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. .

Can't tell much about this particular brand, as I had to return it since I couldn't take the smell. However, I do use seaweed mud wraps from other company, and it will not work the same without at least some type of cardio. I got great results within 1 month, but I combined my routine with cycling and lifting. it's not a miracle product, nothing is. It might work, but will take a lot longer to see any results if you don't exercise.

HI JT I'm not sure if it would bulk you up to the extreme, but it certainly can challenge . Repitition and heavy weights is the key to any 'bulk up' Hope this helps. It is certainly worth getting.

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.
