Okay, guys…to each his own…I’m no critic of what one chooses to do. But here is my question:
While cruising the Steroid portion of “the Forum”, something came to me. I fail to believe (especailly with what and how some things are asked) that a lot of people even have a cursory knowlege of diet and nutrition, much less what amounts to some very powerful pharmaceuticals. Is it just me, or is this sort of a “scary” thought; where someone may barely understand what a macronutrient is but is willing to inject something that has the potential to alter their basic physiology?
Most definately appears to be a lot of those individuals out there - way more than a person would initially think. But then again, it doesn’t totally surprise me.
Just take a look at the majority of the questions on this forum - “what type of supplements do I need to help in recovery?” or “what type of supplements do I take for increased fat-loss?” I mean, how many of these people asking THESE questions have taken a long hard look at their diets FIRST before considering supplementation? It’s taken me a LONG time to even begin taking creatine. I wanted to first know how to manipulate nutritionally, my needs before resorting to a pill or powder.
I fear that most other people are not that way and would rather want a easier route - the "cure-all" in a tablet or injectable. *heavy sigh*
People naturally want to do what is easiest; the path of least resistance. They want to believe they can just take something to achieve a goal. Getting your nutrition together is much harder. They’re bombarded by hype from supplement companies, too, perpetuating false hopes.
