I’m 6′0″, 274 lbs. (as of May 1) and I’ve decided to get into shape once and for all. I’ve done this many times before (been as low as 205 as recently as 3 years ago) but this time I’m going to keep it off. I’m not getting any younger and it gets tougher to stay in shape the older you get. Over the years I’ve never taken any suppliments for weight loss. Aside from a multi vitamin every morning all I did was change my diet and exercise. Now that I’m 31, the weight isn’t coming off as quickly as it used to…big surprise there. So I’ve been to multiple places like GNC, and other nutrition and vitamin shops and they all tell me basically the same thing: “Creatine and Whey Protein are what you need dude!!! You’ll be ripped!!!” The problem with that is when I lost weight in the past, I was already ripped. Strip away all the fat and anybody looks “ripped.” I’ve read on websites about the pros and cons and so forth but when I call these guys up to get a little more detail, they just repeat themselves My goal is to lose 70 lbs. by the end of the year and get back to my “fighting weight” of 205. Will creatine and whey protein HONESTLY help me accomplish this faster? I’m asking here on yahoo answers because these guys at GNC etc. aren’t exactly objective when giving advice for this stuff and for that reason, I’m a little skeptical of their answers. Am I wrong here? Can somebody set the record straight?

I just recently started using Musashi Pro Food protein powder, I use 2 scoops(40G) of powder with 300ml of milk, in 1 shake, and i have 1 a day, maybe 2 on the occasion

Okay to drink Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein post/pre workouts?
i wake up at 5am and workout at 6am, is it okay to have whey shakes before and after working out and eat healthy throughout the day with 5-6 meals a day?
im trying to burn as much fat possible, i workout 3 times a day and do sprints/swimming 3 times a week.,
