Diets don't work...
Try to change your eating habits so you wont have to go on a diet every month and you won't be messing your body up that way and sending shocks to hit when you change your eating regime.
I love protein drinks. I usually drink them as a meal replacement or right before I hit the gym. I prefer to make mine using frozen berries, soymilk and a banana with some ice. Hey don't forget the protein.Whey powder is the best and healthiest!
You can also make them with orange juice or water and other fruit.



What's in protein shakes?
I saw this thing on tv and this chick lost all this weight on a protien shake diet. Any one know a good recipe for one?
