How Many of You Use Supplements?

[KiLLer]

I am working out... and I'm not using any kind of supplements, meaning no protein, no nothing (except regular food like breakfast).
I don't use supplement because I don't believe my body will actually absorb it. Even if it's half of it I doubt it will absorb.
And I don't believe you NEED supplements to work out, it's just faster results.

Why wouldn't your body absorb it?

Dunno. Read what I said, I doubt it. It's artificicial. Not like natural food like fruits.

If you seriously intend to put on muscle, you need at least 1g protein for every lb you weigh. Once you start gaining mass, you won't be able to do it on just food. And you will need high quality protein, that means nuts and bread do not count toward your protein count. There's 2 kinds of supplements: those that are the materials, and those that make your body act differently.

The materials include whey, multi-vitamin, flax, zinc, whatever you feel goes well in your coctail.

The other group is what you should stay away from. It includes the creatine, the andro, the ZMA, the celltech and what not, and of course the roids. Sure, you can use creatine and the others and still be considered "natural." But you're using a substance to change the way your body works. The only substance you should rely on is "Ass-buster 5000."

You need active protein. Some proteins are inactive.

You'd probably be against genetic mutation, gene modification, and biocomputer graftation too, huh? I'm all for biotechnology like in Shadowrun, Johnny Mnemonic, and The Matrix.

I don't get why you say creatine changes how the body works and whey doesn't, especially when creatine is found in the body anyway. Technically everything you put in your body changes how it works, but you can't classify creatine any differently than whey.
