They use rice protein which is generally recognized to be inferior to whey protein. Of course, not all whey proteins are the same. Isagenix uses a superior undenatured whey from New Zealand.

There are lots of athletes who use the products as well as people like me who want to loose weight and know that the shakes can pack a lot of nutrition for a moderate number of calories.

A new year...

2015 is here and it is time to reflect on why I make bad eating choices despite knowing exactly what I need to do to be healthy. Besides the lure and addiction of sugar, there are emotional factors at play. It's not about vanity at this point in life, it's about treating my body well so it lasts a long time.

2. "Mindfulness" seems to be a fad right now but I think it has merit and will be employing it more during my day
3. Do some soul searching
