Subject: Why I hate supplements...[rant]

This may come as quite a shock to hear but it's true...I hate supplements.

Now, I do have to qualify that remark, as I don't hate ALL supplements...

I hate the ones that make people think they can eat horrible nutrition
and train like idiots
(or not at all) while still getting the results they want.

I hate the supplements that push big glossy magazine ads with (let's face it)
physiques that are unachieveable by natural means at impressionable young guys
who want to gain muscle but don't know how to do it through good training and eating.

I hate the supplements that prey on people who are so desperate to lose
weight that they'll try anything...except for tolerating the slightest modification
to their horrendous eating habits or getting their butt off the couch.

And I hate the supplements that take research studies so completely
out of context
that they're completely irrelevant to the actual people who are
supposed to take the supplements (when you do a study on starving children in
an orphanage in a third-world country and you give them some nutrition, shocker...
they're going to build muscle).

I hate the supplements that distort the research that actually HAS been
done on legitimate populations in order to prove that their garbage supplement
works (here's a good one...those weight gain forumlas? A study done on those
showed NO difference in results between taking that and equal caloric amount
of WHITE SUGAR...not even joking, though I wish I was. They didn't include
THAT in the magazine ad for it.).

I hate the supplements that hide behind a "proprietary formula" blend
to disguise the fact that they have almost NONE of the active ingredient actually
in it (yeah, if a study shows 800 mg of something is required to have an effect,
I'm sure adding 50 mg of it in along with 750 mg of other junk will work like a
charm).

Okay, that's enough hating for now...

What I DON'T hate are supplement companies that stand behind what they put
out...that do everything they can to ensure a high-quality product that contains
what it's supposed to and has enough active ingredient to actually DO something.


There ARE companies like that out there, and that's who I buy
my supplements from.

And what I wanted to show you today is that I put my money
where my mouth is...

This past week, I'm sure you've seen a lot of emails regarding the new supplement
company BioTrust (run by Joel Marion and Josh Bezoni). I've sent a few myself.

(here's the link to their online store)

I've known Joel for the past 5 years and Josh for the past 2 years. They're stand-up
guys and they've been working hard to ensure the supplements they're putting
out are research-backed and effective.


The biggest objection I've heard this past week is cost...their
supplements are not cheap.

And believe me, I totally get that.

Here's the thing, though...would you rather pay a little money for something that
doesn't work or even sets you back...or would you rather pay a premium for a
very high-quality product that DOES work and actually helps you?

For me, I use their protein supplement at very specific times when it's going to
have the biggest impact...I take it only after training. The rest of the day, I eat
real food. At 30 servings per container, 5 workouts a week, that's a 6 week supply
of very high quality protein taken when I'm going to get the most bang for my
buck out of it. And I'm good with that.

Their stuff is EXTREMELY high quality. And you're not going to get that
for cheap. Let's face facts.

To help get you more value for your money, they do have a "buy two, get one free"
offer, which I think is excellent. Yes, still not cheap, but yes, you do get what you
pay for.

And like I said above, I want to show you that I put my money where my mouth
is...here's a screenshot of the protein I just bought from them.

My receipt

When they were getting ready to launch this stuff, they sent me some free samples
so I could try it out.

Now, though, having seen the quality, I'm on board and I'm buying this
stuff for myself.

Get yours here now...the deadline for the free shipping (to US and Canada -
international is half price), Joel's new "7 Day Rapid Fat Loss" program, and a free
shaker bottle is TODAY.

P.S. If you're interested in reading a bit more about their products, I've posted a
couple of article from Joel on my site, too:
