Protein powder is not essential, but protein is. If your diet is good, you don't need protein powder.

It doesn't block.

The muscles that grow during the time you do sports gradually decrease when you stop the sport, and you can go back to the point you started in a few months. There will be no sagging that looks unhealthy.

It does not shorten. Sports have many benefits, but if you are growing up (under 20) avoid putting too much strain on your spine.

Fat does not turn into muscle. The protein and carbohydrates you get from the foods you eat will enable you to develop and build muscle. Fat will be burned with weight training and cardio.

While exercising, the body loses water. Recovering lost water is important for health. Therefore, it is correct to drink water before, after and during sports.

Cardio on an empty stomach will burn more fat from the start, as the level of fatty acids will be relatively high.

Warming up before sports is important in preventing injury and preparing the body for sports. 20-30 minutes of warm-up work should not be done when starting the sport. The warm-up should be five to ten minutes and then weight training.

The general principle of gaining weight is to take in more calories than you expend. But gaining weight as fat is not healthy. You should follow a weight gain method that increases overall muscle mass. The best way to do this is to start an Exercise program. During the weight gain program, focus on carbohydrates rather than fats and do not skimp on protein from your menu.

The foods consumed before and after sports significantly affect the efficiency of the work done. For example, a combined carbohydrate and protein intake (wholegrain and grain products, lean chicken, turkey, or fish) two hours before exercise will help you throughout the exercise. Meat or protein food to be eaten immediately after exercise will nourish your muscles.

There is no starting time for the use of supplements/supplements for those who start sports for the first time.

It's only natural that it hurts for a few days because you're raw at first. Therefore, avoid overworking on the first days you start. This does not mean that you are not athletic or sensitive. These pains can be seen even in 5-year-old athletes. Namely, if you take a break for a while, the body will get used to laziness again and after the first workouts on the way back, you will suffer from pain. If you take a break from sports because it hurts, you will come back to the same scenario again. Keep up with light workouts. It will decrease day by day.

A definite and clear answer to this question cannot be given. Because there are many free variables that affect the development process. Genetics, nutrition, lifestyle (not getting enough rest), training discipline and quality etc. Many factors can change this period. It totally depends on your anatomy, nutrition and training quality. Your friend, with whom you do the same things, may progress faster than you. Since everyone's metabolism does not work at the same speed, fat burning is not at the same speed. So no one knows how long it will take.

The timing for going to the sport should be determined according to the purpose of the sport. If the goal is to burn the fat in our body, the best time is early in the morning. If the intended muscle development is 13:00-15:00 hours, it will be more efficient for the body. This difference is determined by the secreted growth hormone level and the glycogen balance in the muscles. When we wake up in the morning, the glycogen stores that are empty during the night prepare the body to burn fat. Cardio work can be done shortly after a cup of unsweetened coffee in the morning without eating anything. However, the right time may also be when you feel your best. For this reason, you should condition yourself for these hours and stay away from sports.
