@@carolscience I have determined that whey protein absolutely destroys my stomach. I use metagenics when I need to drink shakes, my stomach tolerates it a whole lot better. I think it's rice protein. Somehow though, I just don't tolerate protein shakes well no matter what kind. Maybe it's just that I hate drinking them :-p
On the topic of "cheating"- it is a choice, plain and simple. I think a lot of us struggle with feeling out of control and wanting to indulge addictive habits. I don't agree with calling it cheating - it isn't a game. If you struggle with disordered eating behavior, get help. I know because I do too! I don't like that I come here for support and people post really triggering and graphic stories about cheating.
On the other hand, I wish people would encourage others to get help rather than shaming them for slipping up. That's never been effective in helping anyone change their behavior!
