Supplements

Pretty simple really when you put it like that.<br />
<br />
Reckon creatine was worthwhile for me so will go back on it again for a bit from about Feb or March when I try build a bit more bulk.<br />
<br />
BCAAs are almost done and not really decided as to the effect its had. I have upped my training a fair bit and coped well. I guess the test will be once they run out and how I recover then. -
Good read as always. Always nice to get some info things I know nothing about.<br />
What do you guys recommend someone like me, tipping the scale at just under 80kgs, just wanting to loose some belly fat and tone some muscles?<br />
<br />
Someone suggested Whey, but I have never tried supplements. Might start with those small sachets as someone suggested. -
shove the supplements up your arse ally... (In a nice way)!!<br />
<br />
Lose belly fat and tone muscles, you don't need to spend money on supplements. Watch what you eat, and do some exercise! Then once you start to get results, then start thinking about supplements, perhaps.<br />
<br />
Lose that body fat is simple process of burn more calories than you consume. Not rocket science. (My new favourite saying)! Gain some muscle tone - lift some weights.<br />
<br />
and you've just saved a ton of dosh. -
I took creatine in March, April this year, and it did have some effect to make me stronger at the time. However, since then, I've maintained or increased the strength through regular consistency (I still do 3 sets of 15 dips with no trouble, etc), so I feel creatine is a bit of a cheat process. I do use ON whey several times a day when training hard. The best thing though I feel, is to have chicken (plus a little beef) and veges consistently during the day from AM to night-3 to 4 times, and rest well.

A mate of mine was on creatine when we went to the Warriors game at Eden Park this year. The girl in front of us turned around and told our girlfriends to stop talking so loud. Out of nowhere he just goes "Hey Bitch, Shut the Fark up!". Then of course the guy she was with turned around and they started yelling at each other.<br />
<br />
He blamed the creatine for the mood swings, but I hadn't heard of that symptom of creatine? -

Brilliant! Best free advice I've received in a long time, Bart.<br />
<br />
Yeah, I am doing some exercises with the dumbbells and mixing some pilates in. The belly fat has slowly been disappearing. Muscles toning, without supplement.<br />
<br />
I agree, watch what you eat. I still eat what I like on weekends, but I make sure I have a good cardio sessions the Sunday Eve.<br />
Dropped down to one 500ml of Coke per week, so slowly getting there. Also eating more fruit, chicken and switched to wholewheat bread, slowly cutting out the bread too btw.<br />
<br />
So cheers, Bart. Cheers guys. Have a great December break, and good Christmas to all that celebrate it. -
make those sugaery things TREATS, not every day foods and that's half your battle methinks! AS s talked about on some other thread - eating is 80% of the battle. Have a friend, a police chick, who has not lost 10kg simply by not eating BREAD. Zero other changes to her diet, just not eating bread!!
