So they say the more protein the higher the calorie burn, more muscle established (burns more calories takes up less space)etc..

I find this to be true. If you want a nice lean look, more muscle showing, this seems to do the trick for me. Cut back on bad fats eat good fats. I take one scoup of chocolate whey low fat with my morning coffee and a Truvia, I think it taste like a mocha...my husband would disagree. :)

always have some protein post work out. I put my protein powder in a container I got from my sugar free lemonaid. Its just large enough to fit the scouper and then I dont have to remember it every time I go to the gym.

Lots of Tuna and salmon, lean pork loin, turkey burgers etc.. cut breads.

No protein powder will help you lose weight. Increasing the % of your body makeup that is muscle vs fat will. Protein powder doesn't build muscles for you. Only resistance training does that - the heavier the resistance, the faster you break down and rebuild muscles - bigger and stronger on the rebuild. Your body uses proteins to rebuild the muscles. You don't have to get those from protein powders, you can just get it in your regular diet, but if you are an ectomorph---someone who naturally is very slim and has trouble gaining weight and has to consume an extradinary amount of calories to gain; or you just don't want to bother with cooking and balancing your diet, protein powders can be a quick and effective way to make sure you're getting enough to gain. If you're not a naturally skinny person, you probably are just as well off w/o the powders as with (but your wallet will be a little heavier).

If you're looking for a good-tasting protein powder - Syntha Six Chocolate Mint is delicious. I've recommended it to several ppl and haven't had anyone dislike it yet. It's soy protein rather than whey though, I believe.

I mix the whey protein powder with frozen fruit. Makes it more smoothie like and gets you some fruits!

I tested a lot of weight loss programs, pills and diets for couple of years now. Atkins diet is one example but I’m not really satisfied with it because it’s making my body weak.
I’m on Medifast Diet right now. So far I don’t feel weak like when I’m using Atkins. The caloric intake is around 800-1000 calories.
It’s a bit pricey, but there are plenty of coupons available on the internet (i.e. http://www.swoopup.com/stores/deals/Medifast-Diet ). Even if you don’t pay full price.
My advice is just choose a diet plan which your body reacts positively to. No one knows your body better than you do!
