Do I need Supplements?


When beginning to exercise, it is common for a lot of people to start using supplements in their diet, but do you really need them?

The definition of supplement - A thing added to something else to complete or enhance it.

The something else here is the most important part; regular exercise and a balanced diet. This goes for weight loss and muscle gain. By definition, a supplement is only there to supplement or add to the main focus.

They are not magic pills, powders, shortcuts to your desired outcome. At most a supplement is a little push in the right direction. At most.

The best place to start is with regular exercise and better food choices. Once these become habitual, aim to include a portion of vegetables/fruit and a protein source with each main meal or snack. This will cover your basic needs without supplements. Supplements should only really have a place when you cannot meet your needs from actual foods
