Supplements?

Do you need them and are they beneficial?

It depends. If your daily diet consists of junk a nutritional supplement will do little to help. If you are currently eating healthy and clean then there may be some benefit to a nutritional supplement. But, which ones?

Well for starters, I like to recommend to everyone a multi-vitamin (I don't necessarily care which brand), a post-workout protein drink, and fish oil. If you are eating healthy these three are the only three I feel you need in addition. 

Again, if your diet is bad no supplement out there will help. So eat healthy, include the above mentioned supplements, but don't fall prey to the creative advertising pushing false claims about how Product A will help you lose 20 pounds in a week or how Product B will add 6 inches to your biceps and give you the body of a Greek God. 

Supplements are to simply supplement healthy diet and fill in any holes you may have in it. They are not to be substituted for food or to replace the need to work hard in the gym.

Live Fit,
