  • My guess is that TOM, inflammation from new workout routine, and excess sodium, including that from the protein shakes, caused a bit of water retention and she was up in weight. Not understanding why her weight was up made her question what she was doing and as a result she ran to someone believing they had the answers.…

  • I use premier protein chocolate and vanilla whey protein shakes for smoothies and in plain shake form post workout and as evening snacks. I also use pure protein protein bars.

  • I love my Vitamix too! Nice for soup and sherbet... Yes it will turn food into hot soup! Yes it will turn frozen fruit into sherbet!

  • First, dispel the idea that this is a diet! Diets end and thus, you fail to keep weight off or keep losing past a set number of weeks. Second, accept that you have to establish a healthy lifestyle. Limit the frequency with which you consume things that are bad for you but plan in those things that are calorie dense so that…
