Should I take a vitamin tablet or some kind of dietary supplement every day? Can I get everything I need from the foods I eat?

Answer: Rather than “yes” or “no,” the best answer is “maybe.” Review studies have not shown that taking daily multivitamin supplements will prevent any chronic disease. However, taking supplements will help ensure you are getting enough of nutrients that may be missing from your diet.

Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet should provide you with all of the individual nutrients you need. Not everyone has a good diet so some of those nutrients might be deficient. For example, a person who hates fruits and vegetables might not get enough vitamin C and someone who refuses to eat dairy products will frequently need extra calcium.

While we take first class quality vitamins I’m currently looking for alternatives and shop around for good quality but lower prices. At the moment we pay about $350 in vitamins per month it is to much but maybe we save by not having health problems?

A good reading about nutrition if you want to find out what to buy and what to use.

No news here. Struggling with eating healthy as Maxima (my wife) is buying or making good stuff like scones and cookies. I’m able to not take anything at work but after work when the cravings starts it is more difficult to resist. Hope to loose a pound this week.

Running like crazy and that feels good. Also do some eleptical workout. Left shoulder is sour maybe to much lifting on that side? O well still feel the urge to workout every night. Bought another book about weight lifiting with exercises and in my mind very important they point out what people are doing wrong. Very good reminders and valuable. More about that book later.

Still no plan made up to train all muscle groups.

Reading on-line;

Generally speaking, the weight-loss equation comes down to calories in versus calories out. It takes a deficit of 3,500 calories to lose a pound of fat. So to lose just 1 pound a week, for instance, you need to create an average 500-calorie deficit each day. You can achieve those deficits through various combinations of diet and exercise.

Just 0.5 pounds gone. Why?

Halloween candy and Pizza, bad bad bad

Just bummed with this need more control or I’m not serious enough?

later…… (new pictures soon.)
