The glucose in the shake acts like a transporter and helps move the nutrition faster to your muscles, when you need it the most.

Of the hundreds if not thousands of diet pills, supplements and potions available most contain extracts of the very foods we should be eating regularly.

The protein won't hurt you, your body just gets rid of it. As long as you drink plenty water you are fine. The protein isn't converted to fat in the way that you make it appear. You are right that most folks get a decent amount of protein in there diet, assuming they eat a balanced healthy diet. You are wrong in some of your assessments.

Your body doesn't react the same to synthetic proteins as it does from good ol' food. As far as getting enough protein per day, most of us get <b>plenty</b> in the diet and don't really need to supplement, even if you're working out regularly. All the extra protein you don't use is converted to fat. The key is to get enough carbs so that you can make it strongly through a workout. In fact, it's probably true that most of us should actually <i>cut back</i> on our protein intake, even if we're working out every day. I don't really believe in the protein shake before sleeping either - it's just too much! If anything, the protein is either metabolized for energy or converted into fat (which is more likely). The best thing is to make sure you're getting enough carbs so that your body doesn't get into the catabolic state. I'd say you should eat a <i>snack</i> a few hours before sleeping...that's all you need! As further incentive, high protein diets over the long term might light to kidney problems later in life (because much of the excess protein is excreted and can get held up in kidney tubules). Hope this helps someone! I think the best way to get some protein before an early morning workout is…

Because I drink about 0.3Liter water with the protein shake, after I wash my teeth and then do some more things. Then last thing I do is go to pee, because with 0.3L water right before bed, you're sure to be woken up sooner or later to go to the toilets :-) I’d say about 15-30 minutes before going to bed/sleeping.

The goal is to have protein during the night. With whey, the body takes it in half an hour, and then what? It's like the difference between fast carbs and slow carbs, the use is not the same.

Taking all sugar out of my diet has been a HUGE help in my fat loss this time around. It's hard, especially with the holidays in full force now, but I'm seeing the results :) Even when I was in weight loss mode (like I am now), I would always eat something before bed; low to no fat with protein (gota love whey!) so during the night I would have that protein on my stomach to help with the recovery.
