Soymilk raises estrogen and gives you bitch tits.
Eat more greens for energy. Grass, alfalfa, Hibiscus leaves, etc

Keep doing what you're doing!


Health is most important!

Not much of a drinker myself, but the biggest change to my diet I ever did (and that showed results with  no other changes to how I trained or ate) was eliminating protein drinks.   In about two weeks, I no longer felt bloated or sluggish.  I actually saw results in the mirror in those two weeks without making any other changes or doing anything different.

good on ya Falcon, I quit on 11/26.  Thought it was going to be harder than it was/is, but had to do it. 

[Thin Lizzy]

Good job, Falcon. I never really made a conscious effort to stop drinking but when I started getting into running and waking up early to run I just kinda stopped. It really is a better life.

It’s one thing when you’re young and hitting the bars to meet pussy, but when you’re in middle-age and still drinking a lot, you’re just an alcoholic.

What's worse, alcoholism or hemi-iron?

I see nothing wrong with booze combined with healthy eating and exercise.

Within reason, of course.

Yeah, don't want to go overboard with vegetables and gym stuff.

You are right.  Scaling back on the kale today to be sure.

Congratulations, I haven't had a drink since October 1999, the day I got out of the Army!!!

[Henda]

No drink since afore Christmas, saved the bottle of vodka I got off me Mam for Christmas for the end of one of the most miserable stinking jobs I ever took on, finished the job then couldn’t be bothered to drink it.

[gib]

I tried stopping but really felt no different. Having said that I’m usually quite moderate - maybe half to3/4 a bottle a day. Or if drinking whisky perhaps 5 shots over the course of a few hours.

And in clubs prefer to stick to champagne though occasionally hit the taquilas

For BBQ’s a nice cold beer or 2.

how many drinks were you doing

I do at least one protein drinks a day (often 2) and don't have any issues

I pretty much only use Beverly International UMP

I also use IsoFlex Whey but I don't make drinks.  I just mix one scoop into cream of buckwheat hot cereal

[ratherbebig]

ive been trying to drink more, but its hard

whisky doesnt taste very good, neither does gin, not to mention vodka

a lot of beers are not very good either.

it's really difficult to drink regularly!

5 shots of whisky or 3/4 bottle of wine every day? Also workdays?

[Ted SuperSet]

Good for you Falcon.
I stopped drinking 7 years ago.

[tres_taco_combo]

i love alcohol so much too

i only drink with my chica - other than that i do not drink. (we only drink 1x a month on average)

Averaging 2 a day, some days were 3, some days were none.

It was like as soon as I drank it, my body absorbed the water immediately (which it should) and left behind a "clump" of protein powder sludge that just sat there.  If that makes any sense.

I use Beverly now and have no problems.  But then again, I don't drink it either.  I make pudding with it for late night dessert and my own protein bars to take with me when flying to a gig that is overseas.  (Hate airline food).  I think that actually putting it in with something of substance helps with the absorption problems.  Since it takes longer for the whole intake to break down.

But even now, I rarely use it.  One tub of Beverly lasts me about 8-9 months.

Might want to down some bacon chili cheese pork rinds and Coca Cola too... just to balance it out.
