I´m from a border city, with the US, in Mexico, so EAS is my best option. So, is it really that bad? I´ve been using EAS protein since february (almost since I begain training).

If you can't get enough protein from your food, eat more. Eat more eggs at breakfast, eat more meat at dinner & lunch, take cans of tuna with you at school/work, etc. This is an example of 350g protein a day: -6 eggs + 150g bacon (breakfast) -1 can of tuna (snack) -500g meat (dinner/lunch) -2 scoops whey (postworkout) -150g turkey or chicken (sandwich) Supplements are just as the name implies "supplements". Let your food do the job, not your supplements. Eddie, you don’t HAVE to take supplements. If you can’t get enough protein from your food, eat more.

I actually used Beverly International Multi-4 in the past. I've made a post on multivitamins planned for the coming weeks. Great advice as always Jay.

NSI makes a good line, but can be expensive. For a good multi, choose Beverly International Super Pack. 2. Fish Oil. Yea we all need this. 3. Whey and Egg Protein. Two different types, one fast and one slow acting. 4. ZMA. People who exercise intensely need zinc and magnesium, so this supplement takes care of that. IMO that pretty much covers the basics of it all. As far as diet goes, the Anabolic Diet is the way to go. And yea, dude.... squat! the only supplements you really need to add to your diet is this:

Not a rant, you should post more. Couldn't agree more on fat doesn't make fat, beginners train too much, setting one goal at a time & dropping the supps. Good comment Assassin.

Couldn’t agree more on fat doesn’t make fat, beginners train too much, setting one goal at a time & dropping the supps.

Supplements are just that. I recommend switching to the anabolic diet. You get plenty of protein and fat. Remember fat is not the enemy. Excess calories makes you fat. If you insist on supplements. I recommend www.myprotein.co.uk who sell a variety of supplements without additives, preservatives, sweetners etc. Take a look at their forum as well. -Set yourself one goal. Although we all like to believe that we can achieve multiple goals simultaneously (lose fat, build muscle), most of us cannot do this. As a beginner you will improve in areas of strength, endurance and weight loss. But this will begin to plateau. - Running does not burn muscle. The human body only uses muscle for fuel under extreme circumstances (think hitting the wall in a marathon). Running is great to build general cardiovascular and lower body endurance. However, it does have its pit falls. Start nice and slow. Follow a beginners running program from cool running -Most common mistake beginners make is the mistaken belief that more is better. Take my advice. Less is more than adequate. Strength train 3 times a week following the beginners training program (which I think is a great foundation program) and run/spin/swim three times a week. Most importantly get enough rest i.e., sleep. Rant over. Thanks for reading Some points I picked up from my experience:
