Day 9......My supplements

Had another great workout! Wasn't very hydrated, had only gotten down about 1.5liters of water before my evening workout (not counting water in my shakes). Now drinking more water to make up for lack during the day, so I'll still get about 3 liters for the day. 3 liters is my minimum I shoot for in one day. No other beverages, except green tea, sometimes coffee (not often) and my protein or post-work out shakes are used by me. In fact I'll go over a list of supplements I take everyday.

23 Jan 07: Day 9
I take a few supplements every day, to help keep me at optimum health and to help boost my metabolism. Below is the list of the supplements and the brands I prefer:

2x Multi Vitamin (Opti-Men from Optimum Nutrition)
to make sure I get all my vitamins
x3 Fish oil soft gels (PBL Pure Omega 3)
to help promote fat loss, as well as to provide Omega 3's (EPA and DHA) to my diet
x2 Green Tea Extract (Now Green Tea Extract)
to help promote fat loss, antioxidant
Protein powder (Met Rx Original Meal replacement)
provide extra protein and essential amino acids to aid in muscle and tissue repair
Creatine 5grams
to help improve my muscle strength and performance
L-Glutamine 5grams
to help speed up recovery after my workouts
Greens+ 1 teaspoon with each shake
to provide more antioxidants, help improve energy as well as veggies to my protein shake

Well, that's what I take every day. I will go into more detail about each of the supplements (and their benefits) at a later date. Tomorrow the Tale of the Tape! Which will include my latest body fat %, Fat Free Mass and over all body weight.

*NOTE* Even though I have only been on this new program for nine days I have been watching my diet and exercises program (to improve my health and reduce my body fat) since Sept 2006*

I switched to my current program because I wasn't seen the results I expected with my previous program (mainly due) to my Hypothyroidism see link below:

Hypothyroidism

So......tune in tomorrow to see how my new program is working out.
