not using supplements

Kalanchoe Posts: 400 Joined: 2003/02/18	2005/10/04, 04:13 AM i try and keep my diet as additive free as possible, as close to the foods natural state as possible. I hate the thought of using supplements, protein shakes, creatine, etc. Does anyone else feel this way? -------------- each to their own

I'm not getting at anyone who uses supplements, just wondered if anyone was actively choosing not to use them. It's not the supplement as much as the other stuff in there, the e numbers etc. -------------- each to their own
	2005/10/04, 12:46 PM Although I use supps, I must say that I still believe that you are making a wise choice, but remember that some supplements such as basic vitamins and maybe even some protein can sometimes be more of a neccesity than a want! If you are training hard your body will need something to just keep it on top shape and replace all the vitamins and minerals.

I still eat most anything that might be good for me and some things that aren't. I have a sweet tooth. I keep telling myself sugars are bad but can't seem to stay away from them for too long.
