We answer some of your questions
It is common to find articles on nutrition blogs debunking legends about sports supplements. But the worst thing is that we don't seem to achieve anything with it, because year after year these myths are still there, even mutating and evolving, each year more twisted and nonsensical.
We will clarify some of them so that you don't get taken for a ride.
Myth 1. Protein shakes will make you "buff".
False. The shakes of proteins are an excellent supplement to recover muscle mass and physical exhaustion. Here, the only thing that "makes us "put on muscle mass" is training plus an adequate diet. Logically, if we supplement with quality proteins, we are helping this process a lot.
Myth 2. I do a lot of sport, if I eat well, I don't need supplements.
False. Eating well is essential. If you are pushing yourself harder and harder in sport, supplements are key to helping you perform well in sport, especially when you do it more intensively and frequently.
Myth 3. Fat burners 'burn' fat.
False. The burners They increase your metabolism, your body temperature and make you move more, do sport with more intensity and energy. That's what makes you burn more calories.
Myth 4. With fat burners I lose weight.
False. Weight loss when you consume fewer calories than you expend. Full stop. Burners, better known as thermogenics, help us in the process, giving us energy and increasing our level of concentration and motivation to exercise, but if you don't diet, no burner will lower a single gram.
Myth 5. Creatine retains fluids.
Answer: Is it not the case that when you take creatineYou're in a bulking period and you're eating too many carbohydrates? Just think, and this is a fact: carbohydrates retain water in the muscle in the form of glycogen. One 1g of glycogen, retains about 2.75g of water. So what is causing you to retain fluids?
Myth 6. - Supplements such as protein and creatine damage the kidneys and liver.o.
False. If you are a healthy person in good health, you should disregard this false myth. It is true that an excess of protein, or whatever it is, is harmful. An uncontrolled diet with too much protein in food can cause serious damage to our health. Take care of your liver and kidneys on weekends if you overdo it with more than one drink.
Myth 7. - Supplements are chemistry.
False. Let us not confuse the issue. This statement is made by ignorant people who probably don't do any sport at all. It is precisely those of us in the sports supplementation industry who fight and work hard to ensure that users refrain from using illegal chemicals.
Supplements are necessary and very important in sports practice, and they help us to improve day by day, but remember that they are supplements, which together with a good diet and training will help us to overcome our limits always in a natural and healthy way.
