Good Morning

I have a question as usual

after having PWO and cardio meal .. can I have coffee? or is that going to slow any process of building muscles?

**Jodi** · 09-17-2004, 09:15 AM

I'm not answering that.

hey sara and jodi i want to start taking VIT E for my skin.. how much should I take and does it matter what brand/kind i get? theyre all the same basically, right?

**Jodi** · 09-18-2004, 12:45 AM

Brand doesn't matter IMO. Don't take more than 1000 IU a day though.

Jodi, I'm going to get my measurments done at the gym tomorrow morning before working out.. is it better to go on an empty stomach and get measured or just eat my regular oats, egg whites and coffee ?

Then next time you make your meals larger.

Eat before you go to the gym.

greekblondechic · 09-18-2004, 06:26 PM

Ok so, 1000IU max, but what is a good amount to take? Thanks in advance!

BTW, I read about taking a 1000IU Vit E and popping it open and putting the stuff all over your face before bed to help repair skin, I am going to try this!
