Now that I think about it, I think you are right about whey protein being derived from milk. For some reason, I recall it being on the list of food ingredients to avoid that my Dr. gave me (but I'm not allergic to milk though). I'll have to look into that...

Hi everyone, It has been a long time since I've posted here. Glad to see some familiar faces. I became very ill last year. I've been making a slow but steady recovery. I've been working out again since January. I've been building up s-lo-w-l-y to where I was prior to becoming ill. So far...

Hi, I just wanted to thank Cathe and everyone else for their input on this subject. I know it's tough to come up with a specific number but I'm armed with enough info now to make an educated "guesstimate". I've been very thin my entire life until recently. I've just recently recovered from an...

Hi Cathe, Starting tomorrow, I have to go on a very strict diet that is being supervised by my doctor. I let him know that I work out 5x a week and tried to stress the fact that it is a fairly intense workout. My doctor said that on the days that I'm working out I can add another 150-200...

Hi Finner- Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was using Flonase & Rhinocort inhalers for my allergies. I believe that Flovent is the same medicine as Flonase. However, unlike asthma my allergies were never life threatening. Just very troublesome w/frequent sinus infections. Since I quit the...

Ok, this I long but a must read if you have been using a corticosteroid inhaler… Yesterday, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroditis and adrenal burnout. If it had not been for Cathe’s site, I would never have been diagnosed because I would not have known where to start looking for answers...

Hi I understand your frustration. It's tough when you appear thin/ within your proper weight range to others but you know that you have been gaining weight inappropriately. Just some food for thought: I spent the last year gaining weight inappropriately and I couldn't lose an ounce despite a...

Hi I have a question about returning to rotation after getting over a nasty winter cold or flu. I've seen several sources that suggest that you maintain light workouts while you have a cold as long as you are not running a fever. That has never worked for me though. It just tends to make me...

I am sure I can't be alone in this although I could not find any other discussions on this subject... I am 33 years old, eat well, workout 5 days a week, take vitamins, get enough sleep etc. I am not on the pill and have no children. My concern is that I have a marked drop in energy/stamina...
