Just a bit concerned about the amount of cholesterol that I'm consuming now.. Looks like I'll have to have 1 rather than 2 yolks in my 3 egg omelettes.0

The cholesterol that you consume in food is not the problem, saturated fat is. Eat as many eggs as you like, just don't fry them in fat.
So while too many fried eggs and cheesy omelettes may risk raising your cholesterol, it’s actually the added fat from the frying or the addition of cheese, which is high in saturated fat, that’s the problem. Poached, boiled or scrambled eggs (without butter) are all absolutely fine and there are no restrictions on how many we should eat as part of a balanced diet.

This has been the medical orthodoxy since Ancel Keyes published the results of an observational study in 1953. The methodology of his work has long been questioned (he cherry picked data from only six countries rather than the twenty-two that were available to him) and his conclusion has been challenged most recently by a meta-analysis sponsored by the British Heart Foundation earlier this year, and conducted by researchers from the unis of Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard, entitled Association of dietary, circulating and supplement fatty acids with coronary risk
They reviewed the results of 72 previous studies and concluded that there is no evidence that eating saturated fat leads to greater risk of coronary disease.0 -

I tend to agree with this and read that review of the 72 studies a while back which just goes to show how clouded the whole issue of cholesterol/saturated fat/heart disease has become. Since watching "The Men Who Made Us Fat" and subsequently the work of Robert Lustig ("The Bitter Truth") and John Yudkin ("Pure, White and Deadly"), I am now of the opinion that sugar is the big problem is our society. As such I returned to eating butter (including in scrambled eggs!) a couple of years ago and don't really worry too much about how much fat I am eating but do try and moderate sugar intake.
I try and eat a balanced diet with as much freshly prepared food as possible including plenty of fruit and vegetables but I also try and limit wheat-derived food such as bread and pasta. Everything in moderation is the best advice I would say.0 -

In my case, I noticed that after I started using a protein 'recovery drink' after exercise that there is a definite increase in the rate of growth of my fingernails (which are mostly protein based).
I doubt that I really 'need' the protein recovery drink, because I had been in fine health for years without it.
I can't make any quantitative judgements about other physical changes that might be due to the protein drink, but the change in my fingernails has convinced me that the drink is doing something beneficial, and I hope that it isn't limited to fingernail growth...

Is that a benefit for when you wear your prom dress at the weekend
I find protein shakes stop me having aching legs the day after a long / hard ride. Also I like the taste of the chocolate ones
