Awesome posts Realgains! Thanks for taking the time to share all of that information. I'm glad that you pointed out the important differences between training if your natural or on juice. I find that I need to really train with a lot more intensity than my friend that uses steroids. I've...

Did you check out the prices at Sports Nutrition Depot? Free shipping if it's over $100.00. I think their prices are the best I've found. I live in Ontario and if I order something in the morning, I get it the next day (regular Canada Post delivery).

What about the famous protein pancake? Just throw the eggwhites in the blender with the oatmeal (I add some maple extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and maybe some vanilla whey protein). I usually make this when I'm not in an 'egg mood'.

In response to the PM you sent me, I did send you that information, two weeks ago, on a private message.

I can completely understand where you're coming from. I had the worst time with my skin when I'm younger, and even today my skin remains very sensitive. Having been educated as both a nutritionist and, presently, as a sports nutritionist, I can tell you that without a doubt, what you eat shows...

From this quote on that site I take it that this is about what yogurt is acceptable on whatever diet they're talking about. I'm just letting you know that there is a difference between how fat free and full fat dairy products react in your body. I'm not saying yogurt has no beneficial...

I don't know how big of a deal the carbs in the yogurt is to you, but there's no real scientific proof of what you said. Low fat yogurt still creates a spike in your insulin levels because of the additional lactase in the product. The probiotics help break down the lactase, but they do not...

He's....o.k., but mine's better! ;)

I have tried Nutrilean. My husband just left for a five week trip and brought a few buckets with him. I like it for an emergency, but I prefer real food. I also add a half a scoop of Sisu plain whey isolate to the Nutrilean so I have the right amount of protein (34g). It's a great product...

I'm familiar with the Greens+ line (use their protein and other products as well). Are you sure that your non-fat yogurt only has 4g of carbs/cup? I've never seen any that were non-fat that had such low carbs (is it soy?). I second the EFA recommendation. Walnuts are fine, but you need a...

Hi Elle (pretty name - my daughter's name is Ella :qt: ) I hear you on the sugar addiction. When you say that you don't eat any carbs, what exactly do you mean? Do you eat ANY? If I cut out all carbs, I'd be tired and a huge grump-ass. Do you eat any unrefined carbs? As long as I'm eating...

"...maintained by searching for, and keeping clear in sight, all lacks it can perceive." So very true! I like that. Thanks for sharing it. I totally agree. I guess for me though, it's that "constantly improving" and bettering of myself that makes me never feel quite settled with where I'm...

The acidophilus is great. Don't bother taking it if you go on antibiotics. Wait until you're done and then take them to boost your good flora back up. I've never had to use the antibiotics when I used all the stuff I mentioned above. Hopefully, it works for you too. UTIs are horrible!

You might want to try adding a good probiotic to your diet - especially if you've been taking antibiotics lately. If you're getting recurrent infections, there must be something systemically wrong. Sometimes, we get in a cycle of using antibiotics (which wipe out ALL bateria - good and bad)...

Everything you said in your posts is so true. I constantly find myself battling it out for balance. I put a lot of effort into eating right, planning my meals, and training. I also put a lot of effort into my family, my three daughters, my education etc... I sometimes find it hard not to...
