nutritional supplements, vitamins mineralsI am no chef so putting something like a routine in front of me of cooking diverse meals to fulfill the daily nutritional supplements set by the FDA is impossible. Impossible if I was to make all of the food myself. The answer to this question for me was nutritional supplements. My metabolism significantly slowed down this past year. Until I was about 22, I was able to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted without any sign of weight gain. The good old days. For awhile I was actually trying to overeat to gain weight. I remember going to Buffalo Wild Wings on Wing Tuesday (.25 wings) and eating something like 24 wings with more then a couple beers. My girlfriend just shook her head.

If I was to do the same thing today, it would mean more then a stomach ache. Once my metabolism changed I became more health conscious, looking at what vitamins minerals and antioxidants are in foods. Let me tell you, it gets really old trying to track everything that goes into every meal. I couldn’t do it. My mom suggested nutritional supplements and they stuck. I went online to buy in bulk because it can be expensive to buy small quantities all the time for something I take every day. It’s hard for me to resist eating not so healthy foods but at least now I know I’m getting my daily fill of vitamins minerals and antioxidants with nutritional supplements.
