  20. it depends on the person,as for myself,my nose starts running when i am full
  21. the reason for the protein is that we dont lose muscle during our weight loss.protein builds muscle.
  22. i drink beer now and then and never had a problem i guess it depends on the person.now soda is another story,i have to let it get a little flat or it hurts going down
