Tell me what you think of this.
To me, i prefer whole food. Reason is simple, God made the nutrients in the right balance in nature. Food processing to isolate nutrients would upset the balance and reduce the assimilation by the body.
Supplements can be used in a limited application, for eg when you are lacking in certain stuff. Otherwise get them from whole food.
When sportspeople avoid white flour, white sugar and other "junk food", they guzzle down manmade supplements by the gallons. Worse, the supplements athletes are taking also contain the bad stuff that are found in junk food: dextrose, high fructose corn syrup among others. What's the difference? They are all processed food.
You want more protein? Eat more meat, eggs, fish etc.
You want more carbo? Eat more complex carbo vegetables like potatoes, cereals etc.
