Any supplements to prevent muscle loss?

[Capitalizt]

Hey guys, I'm a newbie at this and I know there is no magic pill when it comes to bodybuilding, but I'm hoping to get some suggestions from you. I'm on a low fat, moderate carb/protein diet and work out with freeweights twice a day for 15 minutes at a time. I also try to walk a mile every night, and would like to step this up to 2-3 miles to start losing fat. Are there any supplements (or dieting methods) that can prevent lean muscle from being burned off along with the fat?

I am on a limited budget and can only afford 1-2 "must-have" products.
From your experience, what would you recommend for this?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

I honestly don't think you will need any. Maybe a protein powder and vitamin C.

Thanks for the reply. I'm obviously not trying to bulk up huge...My goal really is to keep my current weight (230) but exchange around 30 pounds of fat for 30 pounds of muscle.

Whey protein is good then. youll lose weight and keep your muscle. Most whey proteins are low in calories carbs and fat. usually around 20-25g's of protein per serving.

IMO, a milk protein isolate is a better choice as a general use protein powder. Use whey protein around your workouts. I also recommend consuming a small amount of carbs first thing in the morning and the rest around your weight training workout. I would also recommend a cheap multi vitamin and fish oil. You don't need the fish oil if you're consuming a serving of salmon per day.

I suggest Propeptide from Dorian Yates Approved. When I get my athletes ready for shows I tell them they have to use the DYA products. It's the only supplement line that actually prevents muscle waisting and catabolism. Keeps your body in anabolic state.

eat carbs after workout like a protein shake mixed with milk and a sweet potato.
you could also take glutamine after workout and before bed. glglutamin is cheap and work pretty well.
