Dear Doctor, Does protein powders are good to take after workouts? Can't we get the necessary proteins from our daily food intake. Please tell.

Excess protein gets converted to fats in our body. Body builders who do intense workouts for at least 2 hrs may require protein supplements. You need to lose 15 Kg weight for which brisk walk & yoga are the best options. In gym you may do weight loss exercises. Intensive body building exercises are not required for you. Good protein sources in diet include: whole egg, fish, chicken, low fat dairy product (milk, curd, lassi, buttermilk, channa), nuts, oilseeds, sprouts, soybean, tofu, cereal-pulse combination.
