What?...supplements are a scam?!?!...for shame!!!
LOL, is this a surprise to anyone? For crying out loud, you don't even KNOW if the amount of protein on the label is even IN the powder! There's NO regulation,hence, no accountability....add on some fancy marketing and you've got a cash-cow ready for a' MILKIN'!
Here's the facts: Time and time again scientists have done research that points towards the conclusion that people do NOT need monster amounts (or even moderate amounts!) of protein.
There's NO money to be made in 'real food'...and most people WANT an easier way to get their nutrients.
Well...I haven't spent a dime on supps for over three years and I'm STILL growing, and have kept all the gains I've made over the years. Plain food. Training. Sleep. Go figure.
Do yourself an experiment: take the amount of money you spend on supps for three months and save it in a jar. Then, spend your hard earned money on real food, healthy and nutritious. Train as usual and see for YOURSELF that supps don't make a difference to anything but your WALLET.
Hell, you could try a month. You'd probably still save enough to pay your cable/internet bill.
Most people would be truly suprised to see the results they'd get from a clean, healthy diet...using the RDA values for nutrients, no doubt!
Try it...what have you got to lose?
