WHATS MY TAKE ON SUPPLEMENTs?

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT PERFORMANCE NUTRITION?

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF

NUTRITION FOR CREATING

A SUCCESSFUL

ATHLETE

FOUNDATION NUTRITION

PERFORMANCE

NUTRITION

Performance Nutrition

• RULE 1 : Eat five times a day

• RULE 2: 1/2/3 fat/protein/carbohydrate

• RULE 3: What am I going to be doing for the next three hours of my life.

• RULE 4: Negative and Positive calorie periods for Fat burning and Muscle Gain.

• RULE 5: SUPPLEMENT

Fitness Nutrition

As a nutritionist have I analysed the Anthropometric measurements and the Energy requirements correctly. On a Daily basis, On an hourly basis and On season / Off season training period?

DOES THE ATHLETE UNDERSTAND HOW NUTRITION HELPS IN RECOVERY, IN ENERGY, IN ENDURANCE AND NOT TO MENTION GROWTH (BOTH IN KIDS AND ADULT ATHLETES)?

IS THIS PERSONS CULTURAL AND FINANCIAL ABILITIES ALLOWING THEM TO EAT SUFFICIENT

CALORIES, MEET THE PROTEIN REQUIREMENT AND HAVE ENOUGH FOR THAT EXTRA SOMETHING WHICH IS REQUIRED TO BOOST THE PERFORMANCE?

IS THE ATHLETE AWARE THAT SUPPLEMENTATION WITHOUT DIET AND NUTRITION PLANNING MERELY A PLACEBO AND NOT ENHANCING EFFECT TOWARDS A WHOLE SPORTS NUTRITION PLAN?

DO I SUPPLEMENT?

YES

NO

When learning about a supplement

• 16 QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK when Learning

• FIND OUT AT SLIDESHARE.IN

Do I know the Generic name of the molecule or molecules in that product? Do I know the brand names of the generic variants of that molecule?

Have I checked if it’s on WADA list? ( World anti-doping Agency) Is that molecule intrinsic to the human body or is it Foreign ?( ex Vit B and Protein are found in

the body, Caffeine and Astaxanthin are not ) Do I know the ingredients and the Nutritional Label of this product?

Can I explain the same to the athlete as both education and defending the choice of my Supplement?

Am I aware of the drug/Food/other supplementing Synergistic or Antagonistic effects? Do I know the dosages?

Can I be talented enough to change the dosages based on my nutrition strategy and not that of the supplement manufacturer’s opinion?

Is the price of the supplement right or can I pass my judgment on a more economic variation or do I stick to a BRAND that is known for performance?

DO I stock and sell the supplements? Will it dilute or enhance my image as a SPORTS NUTRITIONIST?

Do I know about the banned substances or Steroids? How do I firmly avoid any thoughts and convince athletes that it’s better to work on Nutrition and supplement for enhancement of

performance? Can I recommend this product to Kids? How do I decide?

Can I recommend this product to pregnant women? Can I recommend this product to Geriatrics (old people)?

Any product that I receive can I be a vessel of NO opinion till I study the composition and pass logical judgement on the same?
