  • What do you mean by "protein synthesis"? I was wondering the same thing as OP and just assumed that as long as I was staying below my goal calories for the day, it wouldn't matter. I'm curious to know how else the alcohol could be negatively affecting my diet. Thanks!

  • Hot! I have two, one on the inside of each wrist - one says "faith", the other "grace". I've had them about 7 years now and have never felt any amount of regret about them.
