    I heard it did that but I have had no problems so far :) On 2 scoops a day at the moment.

    I have only heard of protein making you feel dehydrated...if I don't drink enough water, I wake up in the middle of the night with a dry scratchy throat.

    I would drink more water for sure.

    I was wondering about this also. I can't seem to get enough protein into my eating habits and I am looking to firm up. Can anyone offer any suggestions on this? i.e., what do you mix into your protein shake, how much do you consume daily, etc. I could use some pointers seeing as I will start the protein shakes soon.
