Supplements the debate/discussion thread

So what? It works for me. I'm just sharing my experience I'm not looking for acknowledgement or agreement.

I'm not a frugal shopper I buy good quality things but I understand that I'm in a fortunate position of being able to afford it. :)
 
I'll never buy a supplement except maybe B12 as it's hard to get in the world we live in. The rest are a total waste of time and money.

Most supplements are waste byproducts from industry sold at high prices. It's easy money to sell super starch, fish oil, fruit in bottles when your shipping costs are so low because a bottle of pills weighs nothing.

Just use the money to buy quality organic food. Eat a diet rich in fruit and vegetables and you'll get all the vitamins and minerals you need. There are thousands of nutrients yet to be found in fruits. Fish oil is made from mercury rich dead fish mushed down until all is left is the pure body fat of the dead fish, it's rancid. Other sources of Omega 3 include walnuts, pumpkin seeds, tofu, hemp seeds, flax seeds and leafy vegetables.

Eat a healthy diet and you'll cover all the nutrients you need. Besides you guys aren't even vegan, you shouldn't need any supplements. I thought this billion pounds supplement market were for us lot because our diet is so deficient? ;)

Carb up brah!

I'm not lazy and I enjoy cooking and high quality foods.

Aaaah. The cookery enjoyment/fun factor.
This is something which cannot be quantified.
If you enjoy cooking (and judging by the amount of cookery shows on the telly - a lot of people do), then I guess home-made does have its perks.

Also I just enjoy the flexibility offered by not buying something - meaning I can have it at the consistency I want, and for very little effort (to me).

Yes I do enjoy cooking, and love good food.

TPW and others do have good deals - I'm not knocking them, heck I've bought from them myself and enjoy their products. However, I the kind that plans their week's food, and look forward to cooking - allowing me to eat a range of foods and flavours. I do so to minimise any need for supplementation which whilst it has its place is for me the "last port of call" so to speak. :)

Chill out. I'm just saying that what works for you doesn't really fit me.

You are prepared to spend all that effort and time for peanut butter others aren't.

It's all subjective. Some people would spend £100 on a slab of meat and think nothing of it a vegetarian on the other hand wouldn't even dream about it.

For me your home made cheap p and b is not worth the time. For you it probably is but then you are not everyone and people will always pay that little bit more for less hassle.

As for cooking I do enjoy it, in fact 90% of the meals I eat are made from raw ingredients.

Think someone's barking up the wrong tree!!!

All Freefaller did is explain why it's worthwhile for himself to make his own nut butter.
 
What's the best £ per pound protein I can get at the moment?

Been looking at bodybuildingwarehouse own brand 5KG for under £50 and 30g per scoop.

Depends on your mass really. My brother for example requires 300g of protein a day , he works long hours and there is no way he can get normal food down him quick enough in this instance , which is where supplements can come in handy.

There called supplements for a reason remember, If they were meal replacements they would be called as such.

Don't waste your time trying to talk sense to Nate, also I doubt your brother really needs 300g protein per day, unless he's hooge and on speciality sauces.
