Recommended products for sports nutrition?

I'm trying to get into better shape, with the aim of toning up my body (not getting big and ripped). I'm not overweight but could do with losing a bit of body fat around the stomach. (I am doing some training at the gym.) Will taking a sports nutrition supplement help at all? if so, which? I'm guessing i want to start with fat burners to get a low body fat percentage then switch to protein in time to build up the muscles. is this right?

I would recommend that you train for a while and see how that goes. Spend your money on some literature on a good solid training program for beginners rather than sports supplementation (or one or two personal training sessions to get a personalized program for yourself). If, down the line, you decide that you want a little extra edge, you can explore the sports supplementation route. A decent protein powder and multivitamin wouldn't hurt (taken right after training), but avoid everything else until you're already making lots of progress. Taking extra stuff now will only distract you from what is more important -- which is, finding the right program with the best results for you, WITHOUT supplementation.

Specialized sports supplements really aren't necessary. Just eat a diet that is high in protein and low in fat and your sports activities will burn away the extra body fat. There is no secret shortcut to burning fat- it happens over time with a good diet and a regular exercise program. Many sports and dieting supplements are unhealthy, cause energy crashes and can interfere with your natural appetite. Avoid them to make the best progress.

The products that i would recommend for sports nutrition include foods that are rich in protein such as meat, dairy products and protein shakes. These will help build muscles in the body to be strong. Vegetables are also essential and a little of carbohydrates as well.
