MMA Fighter Supplements

After reading a bit more on The Primal Diet, I decided to explain further my understanding of the concept. I then went further to describe what I’m doing to cut caffeine down to a minimum with a couple different alternatives. I ended with a short list and description of the supplements I am taking.

For daily diet/exercise updates as well as an account of struggling with trauma, addiction, and obesity visit my blog at rawonion.tumblr.com

Here is the website to The Primal Diet, I suggest obviously purchasing the book through Amazon or Ebay, or save paper and download it. =)

The author(Mark Sisson) also has a great and informative website: www.MarksDailyApple.com where he first spoke of this diet.

Finally, here is a brief overview of the concept of supplements and herbal medicine products:

Any suggestions based on experience will be well received, but please do not post a response if you are ill informed and just throwing out an opinion.

Protein powder is big business. Its the number one supplement in the fitness industry. Everyone should be using a form of protein powder as its an easily absorbed, cost-effective source of high quality protein necessary for building muscle or losing fat. Too bad everyone in the supplement business is trying to scam you and make you pay extra for bullshit and they might even include substances that are toxic and can be lethal!

HERE IS THE LINK: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine-archive/2010/july/food/protein-drinks/whats-in-your-protein-drink/index.htm

The supplement industry is not regulated by the FDA which means just about anyone can start their own protein powder company and sell it to you. I could make up my own protein powder, called Buff N’ Stuff and sell it to you at $20 at your local supplement store.

The problem with the lack of regulation is a lot of protein powders contain toxic ingredients. In fact, the MOST popular protein powders have some of the highest levels of chemicals like lead, mercury and arsenic, all of which are terrible for you.

Supplement companies DON’T want you to know about this and its a little known fact. Look at the list in the description! Amongst them are muscle milk, EAS and Optimum.

Today I’m going to tell you what to watch out for when selecting your protein powder, so you can get the most bang for your buck.

Before selecting a protein powder, you have to determine why do you want to use it. Do you use it to get in extra protein? Do you use it as a meal replacement, or do you use it around your work outs?

Most people should use protein powder around their work outs to shuttle protein into their bodies quickly to help repair the muscles. In this case a whey protein powder is the best idea. Whey protein contains particular amino acids that are important for helping to regulate your nitrogen balance.

Now this is where the confusion comes in. Theres three different types of whey and every single supplement company wants to convince you they have the best source.

Whey concentrate

Whey Isolate
Whey Hydrolyzed

The main difference in the three are how fast they are absorbed in the body and utilized. Hydrolyzed whey is the most expensive and is the fastest absorbed, while isolate is second and concentrate is 3rd.

I’d like to point however that the effects between the three are relatively minor and especially when you consider hydrolyzed whey is four times as expensive as concentrate, most people are better off with a quality concentrate.

And furthermore although I recommend protein powder, I use it in my programs, for a young trainee or beginner, protein powder isn’t some wonder supplement thats going to pack 30 pounds of muscle on you, its just a useful tool.

Without leaving you hanging, if I had to recommend a protein powder that is high quality, cost-effective, tastes good and doesn’t have toxic chemicals, I’d go with Biotest’s Grow! Whey (http://www.t-nation.com/store/supplements/grow-whey-protein.jsp). Its bioactive, which means its easier to absorb and unlike most protein powders its produced in America vs China.

I’m not endorsed by them and I ask you to make your own objective opinion.

Also if you want to completely customize your protein powder and cost is NOT an issue then www.trueprotein.com is a great choice as you get to choose what type of protein goes into it and everything else!

With this you know more about protein powder than the dude behind the desk selling it to you. So the next time he tries to sell you the bullshit powder he was told to sell, tell him “Chef Buff says you”

And make sure to comment rate, share and spread this video so more people understand about protein powder and stop asking me about it!!!

We received a lot of questions about supplements from you lately, and in this video we wanted to answer them all. In this video we cut through the BS about supplements, and tell you what you really need to take to get abs. Among them:

- The truth about the effectiveness of supplements. If you are currently taking lots of supplements, you need to hear this.

- Supplements take it personally. Again, I think it will be very surprised!

- The low-down on specific supplements such as creatine, protein, multivitamins, glutamine, non-Xplode, and more.

And after seeing this, if you’re ready to stop blowing your money on ineffective supplements, and you’re ready to start doing things that really works to get in shape, I recommend you catch my full set of abdominal training.

On my system, will show you exactly how to eat and exercise to get abs. You only need to do four short 30 minutes training a week and follow a simple eating plan.

I put a free video that gives some of the best techniques in my system to build muscle, lose belly fat and get abs. Take a look here:

http://www.DrAngelaAgrios.com – Multivitamins can help improve health and energy if they are high potency. In this video Dr. Angela Agrios, ND (A California Licensed Naturopathic Doctor) explains how to find the best multivitamins and understand potency levels. She discusses:

• Centrum, a low potency multivitamin and probably not the most useful multivitamin to take.
• That 100% RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) is really the absolute lowest amount of vitamins and minerals someone needs to take every day not develop a disease state; therefore, taking supplements at only 100% RDA levels isn’t really doing much.
• What we really want are multivitamin supplements that offer many times the RDA to ensure we get maximum amount of nutrition for repair and healing.
• Thorne Extra Nutrients is a high potency multivitamin.
• Liquid multivitamins are easier to take than pills, for many people.
• Morning breakfast smoothies with rice or pea protein work well.
• Fiber can be added to the multivitamin smoothie.
• Flax oil can also go into a smoothie.
• Most nutrients in a multivitamin are water-soluble.
• Vitamin A: no more than 2,500 iu for pregnant women.
• Don’t take folic acid; rather, take folate acid in your multivitamin.
• Milk Thistle is an herb that Dr. Angela Agrios, ND recommends for everyone because it helps promote liver health.
• Vitamin A ought to be in the multivitamin, as should Vitamin D.
• Vitamin C and Vitamin E are important and ought to be in multivitamin supplements.
• There ought to be thousands of percentages of B Vitamins in the multivitamin supplement.
• Zinc, copper and selenium need to be in the multivitamin, as should magnesium and calcium (but not too much calcium).
• One great formula is Pharmax Four Pillars

*** I am not taking Steroids. Only supplements***
-Keep watching for more updates on my body transformation and progression-

I have started bodybuilding again (started a month and a half ago) after a year and a half break. This time I decided that I was going to use supplements for my workouts which I have never previously done before. I am going to record my results over the following months to see just how much supplements such as creatine and protein can positively affect your body building regime.

This is what I’m currently using:

MusclePharm Assault Pre Workout Creatine
Six Star Creatine
Gold Standard Protein
Omega 3-6-9 oil
Multi Vitamin
Hydroxy Cut
