If you're unfit, it is possible to gain muscle while losing body fat, but this gets harder the more fit you get. If you have a low intake of protein and if you replace something with the protein supplement (rather than just adding it to your diet), then it can be beneficial.

    Protein is a very simple product, all you want is protein (more is better), and some kind of taste that's ok (they all taste a lot better with milk than with water though.) That one is quite expensive imo, the one I buy that tastes decently is 1 kg/12 pounds.

    It's a local brand here in Sweden, it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere else. But considering the fact that protein powder is processed milk, it shouldn't be any more expensive in UK than in Sweden, although many brands charge extra to get money from customers who aren't aware of prices or who think that their mystery chemicals will make a difference :)
