When I need an LC "lift" I always go back to my Atkins 1972 book. It worked for me in 1972 and it works for me now.

One difference is that since my stint in the hospital I've been making certain the first thing I have on rising is a Premiere (Protein 30gm) drink. Already cold and ready. BTW, Walmart has an Equate brand equivalent that costs half as much.
