BE FIT! Supplements - Chapter 5
Good morning to everyone, in the previous chapters we talked about setting up a diet and training for fat loss and muscle growth.
In today's chapter we will discuss about supplements: they really help to achieve their goals faster?

Let's start!
Powdered protein
Powdered proteins have nothing to do with magic, it is simply food with a high protein content (80% on average)
It helps? Yes, it helps, especially because protein powder is easy to take.
Not everyone wants to cook something in the first meal of the day for example, so it is much easier to make a protein shake , which will be even better with the variety of tastes.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fats are "good" fats mostly found in fatty fish and dried fruits (nuts above all).
In addition to having benefits on the circulatory system, it is a great ally to increase good HDL cholesterol and lower that bad LDL by improving its the percentage , strengthening memory, lubricating the joints and above all is a good anti-inflammatory.
Multivitamin
Essential in my opinion is a good multivitamin, because difficult with the diet (especially if low calorie) will be able to satisfy the needs of a sportsman.
It would also be good to integrate with Vitamin C taken individually, especially in the winter months to stay healthy.
Thermogenic
There are lots of thermogenic products for sale but most of them are just a mixture of herbs and nothing more.
Rather useful as thermogenic instead the caffeine in tablets is taken on an empty stomach.
It lightly boosts the heartbeat and unlocks fat-disintegrating processes, and also has a really cheap cost.
Useful in hypo-caloric, rather useless in hypercaloric in this regard but very useful with regard to the focus and concentration it gives.
Creatine
Many ignorants see it as an integrator at the limit of legality, but it is simply an amino acid derivative that you can find in red meat, albeit in smaller doses.
Creatine simply helps to store and reproduce ATP faster, helping in anaerobic efforts.
Quite useful in a hyper-caloric phase, to get a better ride during the massive workouts.
Also useful in a low-calorie phase to keep training strenght unchanged as much as possible, but some do not like the known side-effect of water retention, which could slightly blur the real weight loss progress in the mirror.
These are the main mainstream supplements, which in my opinion (and science) actually give real help to achieve their goals.
There are a lot of others, but unfortunately 99% of them are only commercially found to steal money from poor consumers.
We finally arrived at the end with theoretical arguments; In the next chapter we will set up a training, nutrition and integration program for a person who has as its sole goal the loss of fat.
See you on the next episode!
