What you eat before you go to the gym might make a big difference in transforming your body. Drinking a protein shake before and during weight training may speed fat loss, say researchers at Syracuse University. They found that people who drank a combination of amino acids and carbohydrates had higher metabolic rates the next day compared with when they ate just carbs.
