Lesson learned

      It seems people has an opinion about everything.  I have found since being on this journey that for the most part people are very supportive but one thing that seem to instantly fire people up is supplementation.  I do supplement and it works for me.  HOWEVER.... if you are a underage do NOT supplement without your parents consent or without talking to a professional. It can be dangerous!

    I take a pre-workout, a multi vitamin,  a GNC triple fish oil capsule, and I finish my workouts with a whey protein shake.  I will go into more details in later blogs about what each one does and the ones I use and the risks, benefits, etc.  What I do want to tell you is to be careful when you do supplement.  You can take the most natural substance and it STILL can interact with things you eat and drink and cause issues.  I learned this firsts hand yesterday.

  Yesterday I went to lunch and had a unsweetened black tea.  Innocent enough right?  Fast forward to taking Bayer back and body.  Then fast forward to taking my pre-workout.  I went to the gym but about mid way through my work out I started to feel light headed and sick to my stomach.  Then my cousin who is also my best friend pointed out that the bayer had caffeine in it. I had taken an extra one..black tea...more caffeine..pre workout ( it is meant to give you energy.....) See where I am going with this?  I felt horrible!  BE CAREFUL!

  Supplements are not all bad but even natural supplements can cause adverse reactions.  Be mindful of everything you put into your body.
