Can I survive on supplements alone?
I am not a big food fan. I don’t really have any food cravings. To be honest it is a pain in the butt to sit down and eat a meal. If I could take a pill like in the ’50s sci-fi movies to get all my nutrients I would. So my question is can I survive and continue to progress in my lifting if I just took the right amount supplements to give me the nutrients I need?
Eat right, train hard and grow.
We need substance to build substance, common sense tells me. Our complex system of ingestion, digestion and absorption is designed to process whole and living food and, though I’m not a scientist, I believe the system is most fulfilled when we accommodate its natural design.
Liquids and powders and pills, I suspect, will not stimulate the system (enzymes, hormones) sufficiently and, thus, will not be assimilated sufficiently. Lost in the stream of activities, these non-solids will fail to provide the tangible and vital ingredients in the proper setting to develop and sustain the body.
One might adapt and live a middling life, but total health and productivity would be compromised.
Get three square meals a day — okay… two if you’re gonna’ scream — and supplement wisely for the remainder of your nutrient needs. Bomber Blend and Super Spectrim and Anabol Naturals are my honorable choices for your added ingredients. Oh, yeah, and get your daily fish oil.
Got teeth… chew… Godspeed… Dave
