      Most of the research says that the sooner after the workout you take
      post workout nutrition, the better. The debatable part is whether
      it's a must to get it in the form of liquid sugar or simple carbs + whey
      and especially when your goal is maximum fat loss.



      A large whole food meal does the job just fine,
      especially in the context of a 4-5 meals a day nutrition program.
      You could use whole food or a drink and get great results either way.



      How you approach post-workout nutrition is going to depend a lot
      on what your goal is at any given time. If your goal is gaining muscle mass
      or maximizing endurance training or sports performance,
      you might approach it differently than if you were on a strict fat-loss program.



      On a muscle growth program, it's a great idea to take advantage
      of the commercial post-workout drinks available to you,
      because it's hard to eat enough to eat calories to gain lean body weight.



      Among a list of other benefits like increased protein synthesis,
      decreased exercise-induced cortisol, glycogen replenishment,
      and improved recovery, post workout drinks provide a convenient
      and easy way to get more calories and that indeed may help muscle growth.




      On endurance programs, recovering from workouts and keeping
      glycogen stores topped off are important objectives, so again a post workout
      drink with plenty of carbs is beneficial.



      Caution is suggested when you're shifting gears from muscle gain into fat loss.
      A principle to live by is: "don't compromise your primary objective."



      If your primary objective is fat loss, then taking in a large amount
      of pure sugar post-workout is not a good strategy to maximize your fat loss.
      It might assist muscle growth enhance recovery, or help restore your glycogen,
      but it won't enhance your fat loss.



      Keep in mind, however, that you're very unlikely to store calories
      consumed after intense training as body fat, because your muscles
      are "hungry" and like sponges for soaking up carbs and protein
      after the workout, so you don't need to worry about that.



      You will almost always get leaner faster with whole food
      (especially people with an endomorph body type who are carb sensitive).
      This is probably due to the thermogenic nature of whole food and
      the obvious fact that refined sugar is simply not fat loss food.



      Because post workout nutrition is so important and because commercial
      post workout drinks can be so beneficial in so many ways, one way to
      tackle this fat loss issue if you're already using a drink, is to leave
      your post workout drink in during the early stages of your fat loss program.
      Then, if your fat loss slows down or you plateau, the drink is the first thing
      to get cut as you make your fat loss diet stricter.



      As always, adjust your approach NOT by the information
      you read in the magazines or by the conventional wisdom you hear in the gym,
      but by the actual results you are getting in the real world.
      Also remember that you must adjust your approach according
      to your goals and slant everything towards achieving
      your primary objective with maximum efficiency.
