Cheers to protien shakes! Even if you aren't lifting weights, supplementing with protien is a great way to support a sexy figure. Protien is stored in your body in lean tissues like your muscles, it CANNOT make it's way to your pot belly or thunder-thighs. Carbs we don't burn right away are stored as fat on our body, and eating carbs will spike your bloodsugar, leaving you hungrier faster.
At breakfast time when you're rushed and you can only eat one thing, instead of reaching for the toast/bagel/muffin, have a protien shake. This will stabilize your blood sugar levels and prevent you from burning muscle as fuel (catabolism).
If you take small amounts of protien regularly throughout the day, your body is going to send out signals to BURN FAT, because it sees you aren't starving yourself. Another obvious time to supplement is after you work out to promote muscle recovery. You could also take some before bed, this prevents your body from using muscle as fuel once your calories from dinner are all burned off. Figure out how much protien you need and split it up throughout the day. (a good rule of thumb is at minimum half a gram of protien per pound of body weight, more if you are exercising. So if you are 130 lbs you should be getting at least 65 grams a day.
More muscle means faster metabolism! It's like the engine in your car...the bigger it is, the more gas it takes. So boost your "horsepower" instead of starving yourself, and you'll loose weight the healthiest and most sustainable whey (pardon the pun).
Young women should really work to gain muscle in their youth because it will keep you're skeletal system in check as you age and help you maintain a healthy weight. Don't be one of those scrony sissy's who thinks that muscles aren't sexy--she won't be so hot when she starts to age...quickly. And besides we know already, women's muscles develop to look longer and leaner because we lack the testosterone to bulk up.
As for taste, the best one I found is called ISOFlex...www.isoflex.ca
Right now I'm taking the chocolate one--which has little chocolate chips in it and tastes amazing. It contains 25 grams of protien with only one grab of carb and one gram of fat per serving. Try it with exercise and you'll get results.

I first tried this place when I got a certificate for discounted services. I was a little nervous that the stylist might discount the effort she put into my hair but this wasn't the case at all, I had great luck and have been going there ever since.
Nadia is my favourite stylist and she is an expert colourist, she gave me a really unique foil to get rid of some highlights I had, and it was my favourite hairstyle I ever had. Of all the salons I've visited in Ottawa, this was the best because they took their time to do a good job and paid attention to details instead of rushing you out. The price is as expensive as anywhere else in Ottawa, but you get what you paid for.

This place has great events and bands, and a fairly decent crowd every night of the week. They serve great drinks and hire very speedy, competent bartenders............but the place is increadibly dirty inside. The biggest turn off for me was that my shoes kept sticking to the very disgusting carpet which surrounds the main bar area. I don't like standing on carpet that has booze all over it and probably some puke. They need to invest in tearing that stuff up, I felt dirty sitting on their stained couches and the bathroom is disgusting. With a little investment in a make-over the place would be wonderful. -
