You Know You're a Protein Junkie When...

• the only meat in your refrigerator is chicken
• you choose your groceries according to protein content not taste or cost
• the only nutritional info you can read on a foreign food item is the word or characters for 'protein' (I can pick this out on a Chinese food label)
• you no longer notice how bad that protein shake of supplement powder and water tastes
• you go to a restaurant with friends and they order grilled chicken and steamed vegetables for you.
• you forget to bring your daily protein shake in a flask to work and everyone asks you if you need help looking for it
• you eat all of the food you cooked for a potluck party and nobody else's for fear of contamination from high carb/high fat dishes
• you think your protein bar tastes infinitely better then a Snickers bar
• your idea of the perfect full English breakfast is eggs, bacon, fried bread, mushrooms, grilled tomato, sausage, black pudding, baked beans providing the eggs have no yolk; the bacon is grilled; the fried bread, sausage and black pudding are binned (put in the trash).
• your friend tells you what they had for lunch and you automatically start calculating how many grams of protein was consumed in your head
• you know that the beef patties at McDonald's have a higher protein content then the McChicken Sandwich chicken patties.
• you have friends over for dinner but you cook yourself a different high-protein meal from what you cook for them.
• everyone you know avoids eating with you for fear of you preaching the merits of a high protein diet
• what everyone else calls a coffee break, you call your protein shake/bar break
• your friends stock protein supplements at their homes just for you in case you make a visit
• all of your gym vests have a name and logo of a particular sports supplement you bought in the past
• the first thing you consume when you wake is a protein shake
• the last thing you consume before bed is a protein shake
• if you wake up in the middle of the night, you take the opportunity to gulp down a protein shake
• the sales person at your local electrical home wares store tries to sell you another blender every time you go to buy batteries
• you take your blender on vacation or business trips with you
• you'll try blending anything into a shake as long as the protein content is high enough
• you have to buy eggs every other day

How to Use Green Tea Powder in Your Everyday Diet

I just posted a new article on the site with some information on how to choose the best kind of green tea that ensures you get the maximum health benefits you've heard green tea provides. It's important to choose the right kind of tea and take it regularly.

Because this type of green tea is not to many people's taste outside Japanese and Chinese cultures, you may be interested in the ideas suggested for including it in your diet. These ideas enable you to consume the green tea without really noticing it's presence.

Remember, first you need to make sure you get the right kind of tea (hint, it's the kind of tea that means you actually consume the leaves, not just the tea!). Next, you need to have a few backup ideas if you can't get used to drinking it the traditional way.
