Supplements are not magic, for instance, a whey protein shake is just the same as eating, say, a chicken breast minus the vitamins and minerals. Diet is KING and a HUGE part of all health, fitness and weight training lifestyles. Fat loss or muscle gain is going to be determined by total calories, what you eat will inititally not even matter, as long as you are getting the calories and protein intake.

As advised, read SpiderDans guide and digest.
