Started the Gym today :) did an hour. Need to get rid of my moobs and belly plus tone up and put a bit of muscle on. Realistically is 4 times a week enough?

More important than frequency is what you're doing during those gym visits.

More important than that is what you are eating. "Abs are made in the kitchen" is an old truism - you could also say that moobs are lost there.
 
At the moment I am doing 15 mins on the cross trainer and then going round the machines. The gym owner is helping me get started.

I have lost 2 stone over the last year through diet. Typical day is:

Breakfast: 2 bananas and 2 eggs with sultanas and almonds. Omelette style.

Lunch: Avocado, salad, hummus, feta. Yoghurt. Dark chocolate.

Evening meal: Chicken breast with lots of salad. Dark chocolate.

Supper: Yoghurt and nuts.

I eat like that most days with different meats, fish, salad and veg and currently I am 14 stone and 5ft 11in.
 
Any recommendations for a whey protein shake that doesn't taste like the devils balls? I've had both the chocolate milkshake and vanilla flavors from gym fuel, both of which I've had to really struggle to get down me, not enjoyed them at all.

I really like My Protein's choloclate mint ones. It tastes like Aero Mint pretty much.

Look up 'The Protein Works', they have a massive selection of flavours. Use the referral code: EA572443 and you will get 5 free shakes of different flavours to try. (not my referral code, just a random code off the internet)

20% off when you use the code 'tpw20'

I have had a tub of strawberry+cream and banana and they are both quite nice.
 
Only whey I get on with from myprotein is the true whey range, chocolate mint.
Also like ON Gold standard chocolate mint but only if it's on a deal as it's expensive.

I never get flavoured ones since they add artificial sweeteners and flavourings which taste disgusting. I just get unflavoured then add Nesquik/hot chocolate powder so it tastes awesome. I always buy from MyProtein or GoNutrition, but I favour GoNutrition since I believe MyProtein filter their reviews so they only show 4/5 star. I made a 3 star review for their isolate which doesn't mix well and they never put it up. I even emailed them and they said they chose reviews at random or something, but I couldn't find a single review below 4 stars on their site...

Keep an eye out for the special offers, yesterday on GN I got 250g of Creapure for £5 when it's usually £8 and some fish oil which is usually £9 for £5.

Can confirm they filter their reviews but so do the protein works and strengthshop.... really infuriates me and should be a banned practice (provided the reviews are genuine purchasers)
 
Ill go against the grain here and say chocolate mint is properly vile, im quite enjoying Myprotein stracciatella but will most likely go unflavoured next time. Have found all the flavours a bit sweet

Someone just mentioned BP this morning so thought i would have wonder. Alright prices but not too many flavours and the real-ish reviews i could find said they taste disgusting.

The Chocolate cookie is one of the best flavour proteinz i have tasted. Great company.
 
Haven't had a bad BP flavour yet. (Vanilla, White Choc, Choc Orange, Choc Cookies, Banana Fudge). That said I don't drink them nowadays just use them for baking.

BC159155 for a cheeky discount if you give them a punt.
