Lies Lies Lies 2
Next week we are delving into the metabolizing of fats, I can hardly wait and I’ll post any good stuff I learn as it pertains to bodybuilding and dieting. It is so great learning the stuff at a molecular level so I can read through the fluff, and get buff and tough. lol I should be a poet.
Anyways, I was thinking how great it must be to be a doctor and know everything about the human body and how it works. I wonder if they share their secrets. I wonder how much they know that they don’t tell us. Why do they let us believe so much crap?? Can you believe people spend so much money on amino acid supplements? Alinine, glutamine, arginine, anything "ine" is ALL IS MEAT!! That’s why meat is a complete protein- because it’s complete with all the essential amino acids! Why not go spend some money on some chicken instead of taking more pills than your 40 year old grandma!! For the record it is important to take vitamins obviously and chromium picolinate which is emerging as one of the most important supplement everyone should be taking due to its effect on insulin receptors. Other than that, GNC and these magazines are hustling all the naive bodybuilders out there who will by anything if it promises getting bigger. Keep in mind too that unless a bottle/supplement is FDA approved, they can write ANYTHING yes ANYTHING on the bottle. They can literally put a dog turd in a bottle and call say "This will make you Incredible Hulk" and people will believe it. They throw a few pictures of mitochondria and some chicks on there and make millions.

You’re absolutely right about the meat! That and Eggs, which is actually considered part of the meat group, but a lot of people forget is one of the most complete forms of protein there is out there! I try to eat lean beef at least 3-5 times a week, so I don’t have, or need, 20 bottles of different pills to take at each meal. I don’t eat seafood much though, so I do take a Fish Oil supplement. Great post! Keep ‘em coming!
