  22. Elizabeth on June 9, 2010 at 9:21 am

    Hi, Gina,

    I have a question about protein powders. I just went back and read a previous post where you outlined some different brands, but my specific issue is digestibiltiy. My system is pretty wrecked after malaria followed by two years of fighting it off. My holistic doctor recommended more protein intake, but I need something that will be easy on my system. My first thought after reading your post on powders was the hemp protein being its only one ingredient and and I have seen some raw as well. What do you recommend? Thank you for your time!

    • Fitnessista on June 9, 2010 at 11:13 am

      can you have brown rice? i recommend the sun warrior – check out the ingredients and see what you think 🙂

  23. Charlie @ The Chubby Girl Manifesto on June 9, 2010 at 9:24 am

    I love these! I’ll play.

    1. What’s your husband/significant other/cat or pet’s name?
    My boyfriend’s name is Paul, and I have a three-year-old goldfish named Dwight. I had two others (Jim and Pam), but like goldfish do, they died. Dwight just keeps on livin’. I won him at a college carnival, where he and my other fishes were living in a gatorade bottle at a ring toss. You toss the ring on the bottle, you get the fish inside.

    2. What’s your favorite kind of cheese?
    Sharp Cheddar. Or manchego. Either way, the sharper the cheese, the better for me. I also like pungent cheese of Greek origin, gotta hearken back to my roots!

    3. What’s one thing you’re afraid of?
    Heights.

    4. Where’d you go to school?
    Still go – University of Massachusetts, baby!

    5. What’s a type of workout that you LOVE?
    SWIMMING. I was that rebellious little kid at the YMCA who got kicked out of her swim classes because she took her bubble off and started booking toward the deep end. Did varsity swimming in High School, and do lifeguarding now.

    6. Celebrity crush
    Younger Harrison Ford, and Younger Clint Eastwood 🙂

    7. Where’d you go on your honeymoon? Or where would you want to go on your honeymoon?
    Not married, but would love to cruise Alaska 🙂

    8. What state is your familia in?
    New Hampshire. I’ve defected, and gone south to MA.

    9. Have you met any bloggers or fellow bloggies?
    I’m new to this blogging world…no.

    10. What’s your favorite type of protein powder??
    I can’t really afford most of these add-ins to things, because I am in college and am poor, and am trying not to OD on protein because I’m losing weight. BUT, I did used to live off of those Carnation instant breakfast shakes back in the days before college. They didn’t beat up on my stomach in the morning, and I always felt energized and well-fed.
