Ultimate Guide to Weight Loss - Part 2 supplements


Weight Loss Supplements


 

Take the right supplements at the right time for faster gains


 

Whether you regularly take a protein shake or have the occasional isotonic drink chances are you have used supplements at one time or another. The problem is the whole thing can get a bit confusing as every supplier claims there brand is better and can do more and they baffle you with science until you need a chemistry degree to know what is going on.

 

Is it possible to get all nutrition out of your daily diet?


 

Yes, if you watch what you eat religiously, that said you may find that trying to get the right amount of nutrition on training days may mean eating a lot. Trying to get the recommended amount of creatine would mean eating quite a lot of beef which would not be feasible in most cases. Use supplements to fill the gaps in your diet NOT to counteract bad eating habits.

 

Should you use supplements on none training days?


 

Yes, because you get stronger as you recover from exercise, so making sure you get enough nutrients on your rest days is essential.

 

Are supplements safe?


 

Sports supplements are technically classified as food, so they aren’t subject to the same safety testing as licensed medicines so there’s no guarantee they are living up to there claims, the EU is planning on bringing stricter guidelines but in the meantime it is down to the manufacturer to maintain the quality of there own products. You are best looking for supplements that are ISO17025 certified which means they are put through rigorous checks through production.

 

Can I get ripped with supplements and no exercise?  


 

No, anyone who tells you different is lying. Eat right, train harder, tailor your supplement use to your goals and you will see the results you want.

 

Top Tip


 

Post workout protein shakes will rebuild your muscles faster

 

Best supplements for adding lean muscle mass


 

Whey Protein


Post workout shake

Whey is a fast release protein which gets digested quickly and into the bloodstream fast. What you consume directly after your workout is one of the most important meals you eat, so choose good quality protein.

Your muscles are most receptive to nutrients as soon as you finish training so have 30g protein shake straight away.

 

casein


bedtime protein

you are probably getting a fair amount of casein as it makes up around 80% of cows milk. It is a slow release protein that drip feeds into your system making it unsuitable for post workout but great for bedtime giving your muscles quality protein to rebuild your muscles while sleeping.

 

BCAA


Branched chain amino acids are the best supplement to take during training as they keep a steady supply of protein going to your muscles which helps with muscle building and reduces muscle loss through exercise. Can also help prevent muscle loss through intermittent fasting.

 

Creatine


Your back up generator

Creatine is used for all muscle movement, so is vital to have adequate supplies when doing heavy high intensity workouts, it helps you lift harder for longer.
