I ditched the protein shakes a long time ago...I discovered that they were quenching the release of human growth hormone and actually stalling my progress. I now eat lots and lots of red meat (some fish) and leafy green vegetables. My strength gains and conditioning have never been better. Which brings up an interesting question. I no longer like the taste of chicken or pork...and it sometimes makes me feel sick. Is it because of hormones? Only 20% of the red meat that I eat is grass fed so I don't think it has anything to do with being grain fed. Brad On Tue, 31 Aug 1999 23:49:37 EDT, "Anna L.

Does this apply to the egg white?,,,there's no cholesterol in the white is there? ....or do you just take nutrients in the form of food and forget the shake thing? I will miss the convenience.
