I know if some people dont get the right diet they can actually send their body into keyosis- where the body breaks down muscle to fuel itself because it si either out fo fat or wants to save its ast reserves.

when a charlie horse happens, is that part of wahts going on?
(i understand calcuim potassium and hydration ahve alot to do with it too, and charlie horses are basically from mineral deficiancy, but do they casue muscle breakdown?

I have taken a few different kinds of pills. I don't excercise constantly, but I do a good amount here and there. I am looking to loose a few pounds (10-15) in a few weeks time. I don't always have the time or the money to prepare a good meal for myself. I am 23, 5'6, and I weight 150 lbs. And I know that sounds like alot, but I use to work out, so good amount of that is muscle. Does anyone know of a good supplement that I could take? What has everyone had success with?
