Hi, All:
I wanna know about supplements -- the short answer first, please. I
could do a search, but I never have luck with search engines, and I
figured that asking this question anew would get me "the latest
answers" besides...and, of course, I really just want the short answer
first.
So what protein mix do y'all recommend? What multivitamin? Or are
they all the same?
I'm looking at this GNC whey protein...220 calories for 40g of protein,
with another, what, 3 of carbs (??) and some BCAA thing (???)...and I'm
also taking the store-brand Centrum vitamin pills once a
day...actually, just going to do this starting today...sounds good? I
really want to see how far I can go with a semi-serious regime...at 33,
I'm feeling like this is my last chance for a last hurrah, physically
speaking (since it'll be "maintenance" the older I get)....
All advice appreciated!

If you eat a healthy diet, you shouldn't need any.

See above comments about being lazy.

You can either (a) do that search you so hate to do, including back
threads on this news group, web sites, etc, or (b) read a good book on
the topic that more or less includes the info you want.

Wait 'till you see what responses you get before thanking anyone...

It's called "courtesy."

My approach is to log my eating info into Fitday and then use the
nutritional data to pick my amounts of supplementation.
For me, I use a multivitamin/multi mineral, A, D, C, Potassium, folic acid,
Omega 3, CLA, and a protein powder called "Isopure."

Oh, wow, thanks for the ref! Goodness, if it isn't "rocket science"
all over again!
20 servings for $37? Sounds like a great price for something that's
got no fat (don't understand how a protein powder manages to have fat
in there!).
Hey, wait a minute...the musclebuilding.com site says that
"training athletes often consume 25 grams of whey protein per day.
Bodybuilders who want serious gains (and are burning serious calories),
generally consume 150 grams per day. Extremely high doses of whey
protein is not recommended, as this will cause the body's liver to be
overloaded and you won't get the same benefits as with a consistent
lower amount taken three to five times per day."
I thought it was something like 1g of protein for every pound of
bodyweight???

I not a big fan of Centrum and Centrum clones.
I prefer more B's, both mixed natural form vitamin E and
vitamin E succinate, vitamin K (large dose),
vitamin D (seasonal large dose), more vitamin C,
and inositol. I prefer more Se than
Centrum provides.
At 33 you can get in pretty good shape provided
you have avoided injury.

Skip the multi-vitamin "one size fits all" approach.
Take the few things you need.
