To supplement or not?

I am 48 years old. I weighed 203 pounds with 24% body fat on me when I started this 50 days ago. Now hovering between 181 and 183 and the scale will say 16 or 18% on any given day lately.

I have looked and researched more and more about the foods I need to eat to help with this process and while I have researched I keep seeing ads pop up for supplements that get you ripped, increase your testosterone or help add muscular size.

I am not buying it. While I admit it is tempting there are too many reports out there that tell a different tale. Two such reports recently in the NY Times titled, Don't Take Your Vitamins and Supplements called Risky are Destroyed give me ammunition for my stance.
Try this sure way to kickstart your day!
4oz each of Strawberries, Blueberries, Rasberries,
Spinach, Hemp Milk and 2 tsp of Flaxseed all blended into a smoothie!
Giving you plenty of Vitamins and Minerals with
9.6 grams of Protein, 37.8 grams of  Carbs and 4.8 grams of Fat!
You can hit me with all the, "But Bill you can't possibly get all your vitamins from food" line, but you haven't seen how much I can eat! And until my Doctor says I am vitamin and or mineral deficient, I will stay on course!

When I was younger I would have tried anything, and just about did, but now it doesn't seem to fit who I am. Why take anything if there is a risk. If I am going to do this, I am going to do it naturally.

I am not making you wrong if you take supplements, I just want you to think twice before you buy into the claims!

No one ever said you're eating too many vegetables!

Health and Happiness!

Bill
