Nevertheless, you can just as quickly consume a small tub of cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg. Protein powders have the benefit of being pure protein without any fat, but you have to make sure you are getting a type that is not greatly processed and full of sweetener and synthetic flavorings.

On the protein building side you have your Creatine, Glutamine and various other amino acids. Glutamine is an amino acid which is especially useful for muscles as it helps in protein synthesis and makes nitrogen readily available for anabolic processes.

The L-carnitine helps turn fat into energy, and the caffeine "burns" the fat by speeding up the metabolism. There are likewise many weight loss "cocktails" on the marketplace. You can shop around but see to it you do not buy anything that contains chemicals.
