I find it hilarious when I read books or listen to people yakking away in a public place. It seems everyone is aware of the fact that fast food is junk food and that junk food makes you fat. Everyone knows this. Everyone knows that the food your grandparents used to make is more ‘wholesome’ […]

I discovered last week that protein is essentail for cell renewal and growth. Today I’m wondering if its possible to have too much protein. Is a protein overdose possible?

I don’t really like sugar. Let me rephrase that - I like sugar, I like eating sugar, but I don’t really like the effects sugar has on my body. Oh I sound like a health nut. I guess I am…

When people say protein, I think of things like: chicken, beans, tofu (ick!), turkey, fish, meat, eggs, spinach, cheese, cottage cheese - and I’m sure the list goes on. But what is it about these things that make them worthy of the title ‘protein’?
