    Fighting Dehydration

    . Ounce for ounce, you'll get better, more effective hydration with an electrolytic drink like Sqwincher or any of several others on the market. Run it past your nutritionist first but it's unlikely you'll get any objection.

    2 months out - slow going.

    Hi, Suzie, It's good to hear you have found a protein supplement you like. Be careful of accidentlally shorting yourself on your protein requirements without even knowing it. There's a reason the vast majority of protein supplements have from 15-25 grams of protein per serving. It's all fine...

    medications.

    Hi, Angie, Opening the capsules, you won't get the Extended Release that is intended. Ask your doctor. You may be better off with regular Adderal, split into two doses per day, instead of just one dose with the ER. That way, you stay at the same dosage without having to increase it.

    why can't we take

    Excellent question! I've been supplementing with ready-to-drink protein drinks, and protein powders, for so long, I just never thought about it. There are pills and chewables both. It would be no more expensive than some of the so-called premium whey protein isolate powders or ready-to-drink...

    Things that really irk me . . .

    Food as reward! Oh, dear, don't get me started. You know how sometimes a phrase, a saying, will just spill out of you? It's so automatic, you hardly think before you utter it. Like, "have a nice day" or "how are you?" Sometimes, it isn't even appropriate, yet, there it is, falling out of your...

    Add rich, yummy, cheesy flavor to favorite recipes, without fat!

    . Nutritional Yeast Not only an outstanding flavor enhancer but also a nutritional powerhouse. You definitely want Nutritional Yeast, not Brewer's Yeast or Baker's Yeast. Nutritional Yeast is "inactive" yeast. It is grown specifically to be eaten and enjoyed for its nutrients. If you...

    Things that really irk me . . .

    . This is not only irksome but deeply troubling. I was in the supermarket the other day. Night, actually, around 11:00 pm. A little farther up the aisle is a little family, mom, dad and a toddler -- maybe 2 years old, maybe a bit less -- in the "seat" portion of the cart. And every time the...

    yoga

    . You guys inspire me! I have flirted with yoga in the past and enjoyed it, even while I was frustrated because my weight kept me from being able to do the poses correctly. Child's Pose is something I always wanted to be able to do but my belly prevented it. I'll have to check around and see...

    Any Idea

    Hey, Carla, If you're worrying about temperature, you're okay up to 140 degrees, as I mentioned earlier. That information comes direct from Unjury. There are other protein shakes I find better tasting but, remember, taste preferences are subjective and very personal.

    Any Idea

    Are these hot drinks? If so, they're too hot. They need to be under 140 degrees. If they're cold drinks, I'm not sure what to tell you. I use plain water and I, too, use a blender, so no clumps or lumps for me.

    What's your favorite protein bar?

    . We've talked some about favorite protein shakes, and a couple to avoid. What about protein bars? What are your favorites? Which ones would you not even offer to the family pet? One of my favorites is the Quest Nutrition bars. Part of their appeal for me is their texture. Remember that...

    chat room

    . Yes, that little triangle opens and closes that entire area. Everything was all open and available to me. I clicked on the triangle and everything disappeared but for the blue bar with "recent activity." When I clicked on the triangle again, everything returned.
