Q: Hi Mike, cool site btw. Do you recommend Whey protein or other supplements for 'cutting'?? or am i right in thinking this will be a negative effect for my current goal of losing a Stone of wobbly fat :)

A: Whey protein can certainly be used while cutting as well as bulking. At both times you want to have a protein-rich diet (1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight daily -- or 2 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight). If you are having difficulty getting that much protein from 'normal' foods, then whey protein powder can come in very handy. The only thing to be careful is to make sure you use pure whey protein powder and not a 'weightgainer' packed with sugar. Check the nutrition label -- it should show no more than a couple grams of carbs and fat per serving along with at least 15-20 grams of protein.
