Whey Protein and Exercise

I attended the Florida Dietetic Assoc. Annual Symposium last month and there was a great session on "Muscle, Protein and Physical Activity" by Stuart Phillips, PhD. His studies indicated that by adding extra protein in the diet (whey protein) after exercise (within 30 min), skeletal muscle increases, strength increases, BMR increases, insulin resistance decreases. He suggested that it only takes 8 oz skim milk post exercise to achieve this.
