I have been traning for about 6 months know got some good results,but i dont want to use supplerment as im not in good health anyway and the way ive been getting protein is through porridge nut beans fish but im really struggling to improve my results (and getting bored of a tin of tuna before and after each WO :P) 2 main reason for not using supplerment is like i say my health ent ever gr8 and ive been warned off pretty much all suplerments as they apparently cause kideny problems ect. later on it life any thoughts
cheers
joe ;D

Who ever said supplements are bad for you is wrong..did this person workout ie in good shape? or is this person overweight? im guessing the second..


Im sure you do get fed up of tuna.. i eat three tins a day :) . But you really should look into getting a protein whey supplement..its protein powder you can take for any of your meals and its quick and easy.
And perfect for before/post gym as it gets straight into your system.

If your drinkinng plenty of water anything you eat/take what ever will get flushed through nicely..even if you didnt you wouldnt have any problems like you stated.

The only time you wana worry is when your talking steroids..but supplements? they wouldnt be able to sell them if they were that bad for you..

Tank, do you still take the protein drink on rest days?

I have every meal expect the post workout..ie the carb/protein shake after a workout.

On days off ill still have my meal at 4pm..(should train at 5),..then my next meal will be a bit eariler with no workout around 6ish with protein/carb/vegi.

apparently there has been no long term reasearch into the health implications of supplerments
yeah i was thinking of getting some whey protein concentrate
thing is im not doing body building to show off its purely to be as strong and as fit as i can and the boke that told me supplerments were bad was a body builder who had been doing it for years lol three tins a day that impressive my man potein is tuna 1 tin before and after and as much as i can thoughout the day just in intrest what the biggist weight you have lift ;)

why are you not in good health????

whats your daily diet look like mate???

Ive got m.e/c.f.s which bassicly makes me warn out really easier sometime ive also got a immune problem which means i dont know what my body can cant fight and if i cant fight it i pretty much just sleep 15-20 hours a day untill the drugs get rid off it as for diet
porridge in the morining
bacon roll or chicken
tuna
WO
tuna
beans
then dinner which can be anything te be honest aslong as its high in protein

Supplements are bad for you? - Whats supplements? There are a million and one different supplements all for different purposes. A lot of supplements are FOOD based - such as protein pwoders etc etc. The guy who said that obviously doesnt know what he is talking about. With your medical conditions there may well be certain supplements you have to avoid, but you cant just generalise. Thats just like me saying food is bad for you if I had a food allergy!

I would be well and truly dead by now if they were bad for you !! ;D

fair enough ill try them see what happens cheers ppl
