I Work At a Health Club...
I work at a health club and just like any other health club, we have rules and regulations to make the place fun and safe for everyone to use. In my case, you can take a gym bag onto the floor as long as you keep it by your station. The concern is, like you said, that someone comes along and trips over all your stuff on the floor and ends up sueing the health club. Thats why we have it so you can take a bag onto the floor. We just expect people to use common sense and not roll out some big suitcase onto the floor, lol. There are only a few hard-core trianers at this gym who use the wraps, straps, etc. that you would expect and they don't get in anyones way with their bag. They, more than anybody, understand how a gym works and that everyone has their own space to do what they want. The rest of the people usually just ride the bikes and jog on the treadmills while they watch the tv's ... you know ... the Mr and Mrs Universe's in training, lol.

In the end, it just comes down to the gyms own policy. While I don't agree with the policy of the gym you were using ... if it is their policy then you just have to go with it ... or find a new gym.

Hope your experience doesn't put you off gyms or throw off your routine.

Protein Meal Plan

I have a bad problem with gas (lactose intolerant). I would love to eat egg whites everyday, but I will be miserable throughout the day.

Do you think tuna can be substituted as a good protein in a meal plan?

Hey Dave ~ Heard you again regarding the gas. I am severely lactose
intolerant, but the gas from the egg whites is not the same as the gas from lactose.

Eggs are totally lactose-free. By the way, are you using Lactaid brand
milk? It's real milk with the lactose predigested. Just make sure you get the one that says 100% Lactose-Free, as they also make one that's only 70% lactose free (doesn't do the trick for me, I'm afraid ~ I can only use the 100% lactose-free version).

Short Story About The Author
When I was around the age of 25, one spring time I just lost my appetite. It MUST have been a natural health male THING. And it all happened without my realising I wasn't eating much until after a good 2-3 weeks. I wasn't overly distracted or nervous or anything. In fact I felt serene, in a way!

It was a very interesting experience and it proved to me that we can diet better if we are completely relaxed about IT.

But the lesson is hard to learn (permanently) and I must admit I'm now afraid of dieting in case I lose all my hard gained MUSCLE.
