Read this article posted on the website and be prepared to ask some questions: (A performance nutritionist talks about 6 ways performance is stiffled by alcohol consumption- Core Performance) Sometimes we want to believe that something is good for us even when we know it’s really not. Take alcohol, for instance. All the press about how a daily nip can prevent heart disease has convinced many people that it’s beneficial overall.

I also do slimfast. good for you on 21lbs!! that's amazing!

I too love chocolate, but need to loose weight, so I figured out a way to have chocolate, but still loose the weight.....I drink Slimfast, the high protein milk chocolate...and I've alreay lost 21 pounds :)
