I picture a 400 LB. guy who eats 5 big mac’s at every dinner, never going to the gym, drinking a diet pepsi, and taking a Hydroxycut to lose weight. The kind of people who expect a pill to fix all of their problems. And I say fuck em. If you go to the gym and work out and eat healthy and need that little extra to get over a hump, then a supplement may be a good option. I started taing protein about 2 months ago because I could only lift 1 muscle group every 9 days or so, they would hurt to bad. The protein cured that but I only take 1/3 of the recommended amount. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pittspeed-fitness-nutrition-thread-update/180728)._
