There is no magic in a protein shake.
You could eat a chicken breast and get the same results.
The reason people take protein shakes is because some people have a hard time reaching there recommended GPD of protein with diet alone.

Portion size is very important. You can eat normal and lose weight if it's not a bunch of junk food and your portions are normal. Running, pull ups, sit ups, push ups is really all you need to do when you exercise. That's all we did in marine boot camp and I saw a couple guys lose 70lbs over the 3 months. They looked like different people.
Calorie deficit is another way to say what you are saying.
Its all about energy in and energy out.
Running and jumping is fine for losing weight but it is really a good idea to lift weights.
You will look so much better.
I very much agree with what you are saying.
Anyone here blend a banana in with the protein powder shake? Wondering if the banana would be beneficial to help provide needed carbs. Not sure if mixing sugar and protein is a good idea or if it would hinder the results after a workout.
Replenishing glycogen stores would be at the top of my list immediately post workout... getting some simple carbs, like chop said. The protein-fix can come a little later, though a little protein does help to keep the insulin spike from being so abrupt (for those with that issue). I'm not a huge carb-proponent either, but for everything that I' ve learned for enhanced recovery, that should be the number 1 goal.
I use whey. This stuff had extremely high reviews so I've been using it the last few months.

Chocolate is great. Haven't tried other flavors.

try the pes milk chocolate. It will blow your mind. I've had ON before. It's got a nice profile but the taste isn't even in the same world as PES.
They sell pes at bodybuilding.com. That's where I buy mine. Read the reviews for the pes
I use whey for before and after my workouts for it's faster digestion. Muscle Milk, Cellucor
I use a caseine for slower digesting during the day or at night. Dymatize Elite Caseine XT, ON Gold
I list the ones I do because they can be found cheap at Costco, and honestly, whatever's cheap and on sale you normally can't go wrong with because no matter what anyone says, there is no such thing as a miracle protein powder. I go for taste and easy mixing the most. The PES is good on both of these as well.
