optimum nutrition whey

I found this protein shake to be one of the best out of the ones I've tried. Optimum nutrition whey is perfect and tastes like fruit candy :)

Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey Protein contains 24 grams of protein, only 2-3 grams of carbohydrates, 1.5 grams of fat and minimal lactose, the choice of brand is clear, now to decide what flavor and size! Optimum's 100% Whey Protein comes in 1, 2 and 5 pound containers and is available in Double Rich Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry and Vanilla.

This stuff tastes Great ( I've used both Double-Chocolate and Strawberry mixed in with Vanilla Yogurt or Milk ).

In my honest opinion, "the BEST" protein product out there would have to be "Profect" by Protica Research. It's actually the stuff used by gastric bypass patients. It's 25 grams of high-absorb protein in only 2.7 fluid oz that literally tastes like fruit candy. But, it's way too expensive and a two-months supply can set you back a couple of hundred bucks easily. Because of this, it's better suited strictly toward its medical purposes.

This product is also not the "most cost-effective". There are plenty of other whey products out there that are much much cheaper and have just as much protein content, but they all pretty much taste like doo doo. What's the point in torturing yourself to save a few bucks? Cost is definitely an important factor, but not the most important.

Try it for yourself, you will love the taste and get the protein.. like getting the cake and eating it as well.

July's playboy playmate photoshoot for axis magazine lands UCF coach in very hot water.

Orlando-based Axis magazine did a feature about Florida native and UCF alum Shanna McLaughlin—July’s Playboy Playmate. Axis decided to create a sexy spread on McLaughlin using the University of Central Florida’s locker room as a backdrop. The photo shoot also includes McLaughlin in sexy and risque poses while wearing UCF memorabilia and holding a UCF Knights’ helmet. In addition to the photo shoot, a behind-the-scenes video was posted on Axis‘ site.

After the photo shoot and video was brought to the attention of UCF's administration, it became clear that the photo shoot was not authorized by the school. The coach said he did speak to the magazine about the photoshoot, although he did not ask the nature of the photo shoot. Instead asked if the magazine will be distributed across the campus.

I don't know what to say, the school should be proud of its alumni. Hope the coach gets out of this mess.
