Fitness is a way of life for the likes of Donald Cerrone, UFC 137 winner on Saturday after getting the better of Dennis Siver.

It has taken years of blood, sweat and tears – quite literally! – for the28-year-old to get into pristine condition. And, like so many of his UFC counterparts, it’s the blend of healthy food, fat burners, protein powder, supplements and a strict exercise regime that has helped him to get to the level he is at today.

But you don’t have to be a trained athlete like Donald Cerrone or Nick Diaz – the other big winner at UFC 137 – to reap the benefits of using things like fat burners, protein powder and supplements. This trio are readily available along with a host of other nutritional products aimed at fuelling the body in the right way both before and after a heavy session down the gym.

Protein is essential for building muscle and is common found in things like beef, chicken and fish, while protein powder in a shake is a perfect meal substitute. There are also different kinds of shakes. Low carb, low calorie protein shakes are available for weight loss while maintaining muscle mass, high protein, high calorie but low fat powder are available for muscle gain and a protein powder with medium carbs and medium calories is also on the market.

Pick the right protein powder for you, plan your diet, get the right exercise plan and away you go!
