Protein shakes will mess up your diet if it is taken in addition to what you are already eating. If you fit the shakes into you calorie or carbohydrate plan, they shouldn t hurt. I ve used them on low carbohydrate plans, and they are wonderful for sustaining consistent energy levels, but even better, they help me not be hungry. In the meantime, I d do both running and weights if you can. Running is good for your heart if you do it right, but weights is also good for increasing your metabolism, helping sustain calcium levels in your bones, and also good for improved balance. That was the most surprising thing, I think, about lifting weights for me is that my balance improved so fast. Other than that, it is a good idea to have variety in your exercise plan, which keeps you from getting bored and quitting, so that s another good reason to do weights as well.

Interval trainning is the best way to lose weight. Here are two great examples.(1) According to how many you can do I suggest 15 to 25 push-ups. Wait 30 seconds to 1 min. then do 15 to 25 crunches. Wait 30 seconds to 1 min. then do either 10 to 15 pull-ups or dips. Then rest for about 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat until you can t do anymore. Start this routine at 50% capacity if it is too difficult. Then work it up. Do this routine no more than 3 times a week.(2) On your off days you can do interval jogging. It is simple yet difficult and effective. Start by jogging for about 2 minutes at a slow pace. After 2 minutes sprint as fast as you can for 15 to 20 seconds. Then return to the jogging speed for 2 minutes. Repeat the sprints until you have been jogging and sprinting for a total of 20 minutes. Again start easy and work your way up. You might not even be able to make it to 10 minutes doing this which is fine.Do not exceed this routine more than 3 times per week.
Muscle burns more fat, so you should do both cardio and weight bearing exercises. Don t worry about the protein shakes. Contrary to popular belief protein shakes just add calories. If you are eating properly your body should have all the protein it needs to maintain healthy muscle tissue. If you feel like you need more protein, eat more lean meats such as chicken, fish, and egg whites. Also Drink plenty of water to help cleanse your body.
