Supplements

Supplements are helpful, but do they really make a difference??

I have spent hundreds of $$$ on different supplements. Here are my findings.

You need: a basic multi-vitamin! I get mine from GNC.
I have taken some type of caffeine pill since day one. Caffeine comes in many forms, the cleanest version is green tea.

I have also taken many "Thermogenics." They are designed to speed up metabolism so that you burn more calories through your day and specifically your workouts. The common ingredients that you find in Thermogenics are Niacin and more caffeine. Also something popular in high-end supplements is Cayenne Pepper Fruit.

So.... Now a days I take cayenne pepper as a stand alone product, as well as cinnamon bark extract, which is designed to control hunger and glucose levels. I also take a CLA (stops your body from storing fat) and that includes my green tea.

In summary, find cayenne pepper, green tea, and a CLA of some sort and you'll be in good shape. Don't spend ton of money on crap that has a name on it. Keep it natural. You'll get amazing results with just eating clean, and training hard!

On a side note; I do take a protein shake once daily at least to add in 20-25grams of protein. Get one with minimal sugar (less than 2g) and very few carbs (6g or less)... Hopefully this is helpful. Message me with questions.
