The Whole Truth About Supplements?

I get asked all the time about supplements. And in the past I

have taken my share of them. But to be quite honest I don’t

take them anymore outside of an occasional protein drink as a

meal replacement if I am in a hurry. A lot of people seem to

think by spending all this money they will get in better shape.

This is not true. Although the advertisers would make you believe

differently. I have never taken a pill or protein powder that made

me go wow! When you look at what the “Native Indians” lived on

berries, fruits, and nuts all fresh whole foods and a lot of them had

bodies of greek gods, and tremendous endurance. They lived off the

fat of the land so to speak.

When you look at the word “supplement” it means in addition too

your already balanced diet. To add something extra. Not to

replace. If you need some extra protein it is ok to down a shake

or a bar, if your on the road or pressed for time but your focus

should be on the food you eat.

Another part of the equation is when you eat food you have to

chew it, which brings a certain amount of satiety to the table.

Our bodies were made to eat food, as a staple of good health.

And no supplement is ever going to replace that.

I know myself if I don’t eat regular food I am not as satisfied

and usually still hungry after having a meal replacement drink.

All these powders are just ground up food anyway. So the next

time you think about spending your hard earned money what is your

purpose to replace or add too.
