Do YOU Really Need To Take Supplements?

Supplements, who needs them?

For this report, I will separate supplements into three classes:

1. Nutritional supplements, e.g. multi-vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates etc.
2. All the garbage, e.g. ‘diet pills’, ‘weight loss pills’ etc.
3. The ones that fall in-between, e.g. creatine etc.

Here I’m only going to discuss taking nutritional supplements.

The Final Chapter In A Healthy Diet & Lifestyle?

If you have a healthy, nutritious diet, full of fruit and vegetables and other great foods, hopefully you should be getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals in your diets.

Unfortunately, our foods sometimes just don’t contain enough, so many people supplement their diet to make sure they get the recommended daily allowance.

There are two reasons for this:

1. You are not eating enough of the right foods to get the nutrients your body needs
2. The good foods you are eating still don’t provide enough nutrients, for example a research study found that many of the foods produced now, contain less nutrients than they did 50 years ago.

Nutritional supplements, are a quick and easy way to make sure you are getting the right amount of the essential building blocks, your body needs to keep functioning at 100%. They are not a weight loss or fat burning mechanism.

So What Type Of Nutritional Supplements Should You Take?

You might not need any – have a chat with your doctor to see if you’re currently missing anything, and could use a supplement.

If you do decide to take a supplement, look for high quality multi-vitamins, fish oils (Omega-3) and speak to your doctor about other options.

If you are training really hard, you might look into taking a protein-carbohydrate supplement immediately after your workout, to help recovery, muscle grow and improve performance. If you are training for muscle growth, I found that taking a protein shake within 45 minutes of finishing a workout really helps.

It depends on your goal, but remember…

You Don’t Need…

• Diet Pills
• Weight Loss Pills
• Stupid Quick Fixes

You simply don’t need any these over hyped, cleverly marketed, “promise the world” instant result scams.

If you’ve read my frequently asked questions, you’ll already know exactly what you need…

You Need…

1. A goal – what do you really want to achieve, be specific e.g. 10lbs in 2 weeks, or 5 lbs per week. Small short term goals add up BIG in the long term.
2. A plan – a workable plan of action that you can follow, that you know will work or has been proven to work.
3. Great nutrition and a healthy diet – think before you eat, does your body really need this food, will it really help you reach your goal you eat it?
4. Weight/Resistance Training
5. Cardiovascular Training
