    Went for a burgwer at McDonalds. This fat sheila serves me.
    10 minutes later I got my burger.

    "Sorry for the wait" she says

    I says "Stop eating this **** & it will come off in no time" :D



    The day before, I came out of a pizza joint with the whole deal.
    2 Supremes. 2 garlic breads. Pasta & 2 bottles of coke.

    This poor old homeless bloke says to me. "I haven't eaten in 3 days"

    I says "**** mate,,,I wish I had your ****en will power":pop

    Are you a farmer or something? No-one is having a go at you, I think you are not giving unbiased advice though or advice tailored for his specific needs.

    People who take vitamins etc have yellow **** because not everything is used, luckily no-one said they were. I doubt the average amateur boxing coach is out to do the bidding of supplement companies by being a pusher of vitamins. I would be more concerned with the long term effect of daily ice cream on my body than that of sensible supplements. And I doubt you could list all the chemicals and stuff from pesticides on your food.

    The guy asked for supplementation advice and he's a boxer apple cider vinegar, cod liver oil, glucosamine, whey protein, glutamine and a multivitamin (non iron if u are a guy) are all highly beneficial to recovery and will enable him to train better. I am very aware of the short term effects of all of these and the long term effects thanks.

    And there is nothing wrong with a cup of coffee :good

    No, I'm in the audio industry. Good try though. :cool:
    I didn't say they were, but I am passionate about good health via correct diet without the use of unnatural supplements and there associated side effects.
    We'll agree to disagree.
    So why bother then?
    Wanna bet on that? Obviously they aren't pursued to the extremes the big pros are, but they are still targeted nonetheless.
    Fair comment, and I am concerned with it, but I'm weak.
    Very true, however it's still vastly superior to the chemicals within supplements.
    Again, we'll agree to disagree.
    I doubt that very much.
    That says it all. :patsch

    Sox although i do agree with alot of what you're saying with supplements, why put a blanket over the whole industry. Id love you to backup your opinion with research, stating all supllements are ****. (im waiting for the response, "supplement companies pay all the researchers off")

    Ok, I'll rephrase it.

    Many (most?) supplements are ****, in my opinion.

    supplements are unnecesary if you eat right, in my opinion.

    When we were kids...Mum always gave us flat lemonade to replace loss fluids.

    Anyone know if clinical trials proved it's worth??? :)

    Hey long time no see peanut. :tong

    Now, what kind of logic is that? What's a perfect world got to do with anything?
    The OP asked if he should add supplements to his diet, he showed us his diet, and I recommended he didn't. What has that got to do with a perfect world? :huh

    Eating right is actually not that hard, it's only because the public is so brainwashed into fast food / crap food that we don't see the good stuff right in front of us. The supplement companies have capitalised on that and have many different concoctions to 'supplement' these **** eating lifestyles.:twisted:

    Go right ahead and keep eating **** food and pay for supplements, see if I give a ****. It leaves more good food for me. :rasta

    For the record I haven't been to see a doctor in several years. Neither has my wife.
    We both eat very well, and rarely get ill, even the common cold we typically avoid whilst everyone around us is infected.
    As I said earlier, you are what you eat.

    I'd recommend the documentary Food Inc to anyone interested in the state of food production today.

    Also Sox there is loads of **** in ice cream and things like bread, pasta and pretty much all beige coloured foods are not necessary for a healthy diet. Corn is also added to pretty much everything but for no apparent reason.

    I eat maybe 3-4 slices of bread a week.
    Pasta maybe once a fortnight.

    We eat no processed foods, so we only get corn when we eat corn.
    In any case, corn is good.

    We actually follow a diet which is close to the paleolithic diet.

    The ice cream is my only weakness, and I'm going to subsitute that with yoghurt when I feel strong. :think
