Q: Q 211: It had nothing to do with my diet. I soon as I went off the supplements it took me only 10 days to lose the 5.5 pounds of fat That I gained.My waist went from 38.5 to 37 inches in that time. And one of the trainers at my gym told me that some people's bodies dont react well with supplements and may lose muscle even when weight training with supplements. All I could tell you is I'm doing much better without supplements.And of course weight training cant make you lose muscle.I took supplements which were 61% carbs,22% protein.Its called muscle juice.

A: Ahh there's your problem! The supplement you took is meant to be taken only when on very aggressive bulking cycles. It is absolutely the last thing you'd want to take if your goal was trying to lose fat. Those 61% carbs is the dead giveaway that it is a weightgainer supplement, even if it wasn't advertised as such. On top of that huge carb amount, those carbs also tend to be very quickly absorbable by your body (like sugar) which leads to fast weight and fat gains. The only time you would want to take a supp like this is if you want to gain as much muscle as quickly as possible and you didn't care almost at all about fat gains. Even then, you would only take this supp immediately following heavy weight training and at no other time.

The fact that you appeared to have lost muscle is probably still due to the measurement error, but the fast fat gain was real. Some of the weight gained was also water weight (extra carbs retain more water in your system) which may partially explain why you lose that weight so quickly too. Glad you're doing better now without the supps. Good nutrition and training will get you way farther than just average nutrion/training but with supps.
