this is out of my area. you need a therapist and someone to talk to. the problem you think is below your neck is probably above it.

I am 6ft and 230 lbs, I want to maintain the weight but lose the fat is that possible? Are protein shakes good for me and what is the better brand of protein
Khallid, Miami, Fl. 7/11/03

 A.

Better 'BRAND' of prOtein???? Protein is natural, forget the shake. Eat lean meat, fish, tofu, etc. Get your diet to a high - natural - protein percentage coupled with the appropriate aeroboc and anaerobic exercsie program and you'll get to exactly where you want your body to be.
