Do I Need Supplements to Lose Weight The Truth the Fitness Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know When I first started working out, I thought supplements were the secret to getting fit. My coach — a bodybuilder — told me to drink protein shakes twice a day. He did it, so I did it too. Sometimes I even had three. Everyone at the gym swore by their powders, pills, and shakes.

Has been 4 years since I got married. My fitness and health are still improving. My wife and I find ways to stay fit and healthy by following our exercise program and eating healthy among other things.  The other day I was talking to a friend about eating out when traveling.
