I remember growing up,looking at flex magazine, muscle tech's adverts were the most convincing of all,with some ifbb guy and loads of graphs and bright colours, when you 20yrs old and impressionable, that's all the convincing you need.

I would hazard a guess,at most not keeping it off,if they did the TV network would be all over it,it's an embarrassment for the the show and the doctor that most have probably put on weight and highlight how irresponsible the doctor and the show is.

People who lose weight are right to be proud, but there is nothing quite more annoying than going on about how much you've lost, I've done it before and have been told to shut up lol. Anyway if your friend doesn't seem to want to know just talk about something else!

It is possible, but seems extremely difficult. Many factors come in to play, but possible none the less, it seems you have to quite big to start off with.

Naahhh

Apparently nowadays you don't even have to eat clean,as long as it fits your macros.

Holidaying

I've been a baldie for a while now, I used to be self conscious when it first happened many years ago, I used to think people are staring etc, but in reality I was just being self conscious and most people don't really care, hair is over rated anyway lol!

Or meat, don't forget meat.

No

Anyway, in terms of actual, measurable, and significant results, according to sites like examine and Web md, it's only creatine that is supposed to work in terms of muscle building. Everything else,if it does work there are caveats and the results are so insignificant it's not worth it according to them. But anecdotal…

There was a documentary here in the UK on the BBC about this supplement addict, he was in really good shape but used a lot of supps, from BCAAs to pre workout and everything in between, As an experiment they removed his supps and I think they told him to eat sensible, a month later, he didn't lose any muscle, lost body fat…

I'm in the same boat, got half stone to lose, but it seems to be taking a while.

Naahhh

Halo

@Bill8855

Yeah this guy would know his stuff on survival and hunting etc.

Doubt it.

Corrective

Perfectionist

Pouty

To be honest with you, I've taken them before on a regular basis, when I came off it really didn't make a difference, for me anyway, according to research it lets you may be push out an extra rep or 2, maybe that makes a difference to some people, but I think that benefit is insignificant on the grand scale of things,…

Possibly

Happy!

You pick up any 'fitness magazine' you see huge steroid guys sipping on some whey protein, implying he got so big drinking some of this,if your an impressionable youngster or a naeive person, you'd go and buy it for the wrong reason, I.e to get big like the poster guy, rather that to supplement your protein needs.

Absolutely!

Yeah read that too, the idea is when you tell someone to eat 6 small high protein meals a day, it's hard for most people to prepare arange and afford this, not to mention just finding time in your day to eat that many times, ideal 'solution' protein powder! You eat more you buy more. Clever though.
