Have you ever used protein shakes to gain weight? If you have, how did it work out? Did you go to bed a skinny runt and wake up looking like a roided up version of the incredible hulk? I'm willing to bet that the answer is no...am I right?
As a society we are trained to look for what I like to call the "quick fix" so, it really doesn't come as a surprise that when folks are trying to figure out how to gain weight the first things that they start to research are things like weight gain pills, weight gain supplements, and protein shakes as their first steps to pack on a few pounds.
Muscle Protein
Unfortunately, they usually find out pretty quick that those things alone,don't have much of an effect, other than draining your wallet, which is never a good thing, especially in this economy. In order to add lean muscle, and some pounds, you will need to add a couple other things to the mix when taking protein shakes to gain weight. I'm talking about an altered diet, and possibly an exercise routing that might be a little bit different than your used to.
Almost any professional trainer that you talk to will tell you that protein is an essential piece to the puzzle along with healthy high calorie foods as far as the dietary end. However, the best way to take protein shakes to gain weight is to consume them before, or after a workout to replenish your body, and to feed our muscles protein at the time when they need it most. This is the reason why many of the "higher end" gyms have protein shake bars available for people while they are at the gym. Typically people will grab one on the way out to enjoy it on their ride home or while they are doing their cool down.
It wasn't all that long ago that protein shakes were unpleasant for some people. Even though they looked like a chocolate or vanilla shake, the taste left more than a little bit to be desired, and that is putting it mildly. Luckily, people started to experiment with different flavorings, and things to add to the shakes to make them more appealing to the masses, and it worked! For the most part, there is at least one flavor that you can find that actually tastes good, which makes getting a high dose of protein pretty easy.
So, if you are taking protein shakes to gain weight, remember that they do work, but only if used in conjunction with a larger plan in place that consists of changes in your diet and exercise routine.
