Other ways to take protein powder
I've been trying to get more protein in my diet and drinking two shakes a day. I don't eat alot of meat, fish chicken etc. I've been doing this for a week and I can't face another one. What else can I mix protein powder with instead of drinking it? I have chocolate flavour.

Why protein powder?
I've noticed a lot of people seem to use this but why? What benefits does it give you? Does it help with weight loss? I tend to think of it as something you would use if I was following a LCD.

weight and booze
I enjoy a drink everyday but really it's not one it's more like a bottle of wine everyday. Once I've opened that bottle I never find one glass is enough. I just enjoy coming home having a drink with my dinner and spending the night sipping away, it's been my routine for a very very long time. The problem is I can't really…
