Re: what supplements do you take?
This is everything I take so get ready to take out a loan!

Even though I consider protein powder more like groceries than a supplement, I obviously use protein powder. This is usually whey and or casein protein powder depending on the time of day. Another “supplement” I consider groceries would be EFA’s (Udo’s Oil), I tend to take this oil with most of my meals.

I take a multi vitamin/mineral and Novadex XT in the morning along with: CLA, ALA, vitamin C, Guggulipids, L Carnatine, 7-Keto, ephedrine based fat burner, Yohimbe, NO2 and Calcium/Magnesium through out the day.

Some of these products are to aid in fat burning, some are to aid in muscle repair and hypertrophy, and some are just for general health.

Basically, if you looked in my “pill case” you would think it was owned by a geriatric! Do I NEED to take all those products (and sometimes more)? No, I do because I can (thanks to Lori-Ann). They make life a little easier but I still have to eat a structured diet as well as workout 5 days a week (as well as having a job that keeps me on my feet 12 hours a day, 6 days a week). You can take all the supplements in the world but they are not going to do anything without a good diet and proper training approach.

if you had to choose 3 of the supplements that you take, which ones would be a MUST?

Muti-vitamin, fat burner, yohimbe. But thats just because I would rather be lean than anything and I know I cant stay at 4-5% body fat as long as I do without the Yo and burners.

What fat burner? First and formost a good diet is the most important thing. I never have clients take fat burners to start, the only supplements they take in the begining are a multi and CLA. When body fat levels get so low the body refuses to give up any more without muscle loss I add a burner.

My fav non ephedrine based one at this time is TIGHT! by San. It says to take one a day, I usually take 2-3 myself but dont tell anyone.

Bottom line though, no fat burner is going to do anything if you arent eating right and training hard.

Re: what supplements do you take?
I like your approach D;) So many PT give your looooong shopping list of supplements that break your bank balance.As you say first comes the training an diet and then little help here and there:D
BTW I had a friend who lived of fatburners (ephedrine based) all year around...and she was like 35% bodyfat.

Ciao
