Whole food is always your best choice, those "supplements" are just that, supplements to a good diet. Protein is essential, the others are not. Especially if you are gaining. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

The only other supplement I use is a multi vit, along with a megadose of vit c to keep me from yawning!

Everything else can just be a lifestyle of eating right with a calorie surplus as bb1 stated. -------------- Seeking out motivation does not motivate you to seek out results. - Paul Post mark - PaulsMark - Post mark

But i wanna know, why then everyone is such a...creatine user, enveryone talks about that pil, and that stuff...and what to mix...i mean...why, when it can be done with food? I did it without even protein powder for 2 years, i did great progresses...
	2004/08/09, 08:42 AM Why? Because a lot of people want a shortcut. It's pretty common to hear guys talking about the spectacular results they've gotten from some supplements, but often they began cleaning up their diet at that same time. Sometimes time constraints and convenience make things like protein supplementation necessary, but it seems like supplements are most effective when you've gone as far as you can without them. -------------- OSU Law Rugby....specializing in personal injury and pain & suffering.

So yeah you dont need that shit, unlees your actually trying to become a bodybuilder. Which I doubt your tring to be the next Arnold. I do eat at least 2 protein batrs a day, and that is EXPENSIVE! 2.59 per bar, and higher its ridiculous. But you could use the creatine as an energy boost.
