The protein shakes are just a quick way to put nutrients into your body. If you don't eat every 3 hrs (some say 2 some say 4 ) then your body with go into catabolic state. You will lose weight, but you will not tone up.(meaning your body will eat it's own muscle not it's fat) You need to feed your muscles to lose weight a healthy way.
This dosen't mean you are going to bulk up, just because your adding protein shakes to your diet. If you didn't have the protein shakes then I would suggest you eat real food in place of them, which can be expensive, and time consuming..
