I’m sure you’ve been told by doctors (And the medical industry in general) that, if you consume a proper diet, supplements are unnecessary and can even be dangerous. Then, they prescribe you phentermine, Ozempic, or some other form of medication. The unfortunate truth is that it’s almost impossible to get all your micronutrients from food.
Reason 1: Calories
If you want to lose fat, you need to restrict how much you eat. You also need to watch how much, and when, you eat your carbs. You want to get them from complex sources, such as sweet potatoes, brown rice etc. This is going to cut out a lot of sources of micronutrients and vitamins. For example, fruit isn’t good for fat loss. You will be losing out on phytonutrients, which support health and mental/emotional well-being. Another excellent source of vitamins are nuts and legumes. Unfortunately, calories from those add up quickly as well.
Reason 2: Food quality
The 21st century mass produces food. Therefore, we ingest a lot of chemicals and eat meat and vegetables that don’t contain the nutrients they should. That’s the biggest reason we have teenagers suffering from hormonal imbalances like hypothyroidism and low testosterone. Both issues lead to increased fat gain (especially hips and mid-section), as well as muscle loss, depression, and anxiety. It’s important to prevent these problems by making sure children receive adequate nutrients at a young age.
Solution: Supplement with high-quality vitamins and minerals!
Many people go to their local pharmacy or grocery store and grab a 1-a-day vitamin to meet their micro-nutrient needs. Unfortunately, such products are cheaply made. Many times, the ENTIRE capsule makes its way through the digestive tract completely undissolved! You want to get something that has vitamins in multiple capsule form. They are less dense and easier for your body to break down. You will definitely notice a difference in how you feel! Also, grab a good Greens product. They help with phyto-nutrient support. Make sure you get a good fish oil and pro-biotic as well. When it comes to vitamins, and supplements in general, you pay for what you get. If you are cheap with your nutrition, you WILL get cheap results! The vitamins you THINK you are paying for may not even be in your products. Make sure you know what you’re taking!
