During the entire time that I set a goal to lose 35 pounds, I NEVER took anything other than these:
1. Flax Oil
2. Fish Oil
3. Whey Protein powder
4. Vitamins
Other than possibly Creatine Mono or Creatine Ethyl Ester (because their is some scientific research that supports some added benefit to one that trains), I dont advocate any other supplement other than this one:
Manipulating Diet + Manipulating Fitness Training = KING of SUPPLEMENTS.
I wasnt looking to build a tremendous amount of muscle, rather a very lean muscular medium frame from:
1. Building a knowledge base to support my goal
a. Diet: laws of energy balance, understanding the calorie, understanding the macronutirents, etc, etc. Manipulating the calories and/or macronutrients.
Knowing how to manipulate diet in accordance to applicable goal
b. Fitness training: Analyzing the types of exercises for each body part and how to properly perform them. Calorie affects on length of exercise, types of exercises, etc, etc.
Knowing how to manipulate fitness training in accordance to applicable goal
2. On going and never ending quest for knowledge within diet and fitness AND PERSONAL MOTIVATION.
Peace and happiness to you!
