On Sunday I was in my local health food store, whilst looking around the shop a supplement caught my eye. It was in a bright yellow bottle claiming to boost energy.
Intrigued, I picked it up, we all want more energy to make us more productive at work and especially during our workouts to make them more effective at burning belly fat.
I read the ingredients figuring there would be some exotic herb blend to boost mind and body.
No such joy, the main ingredient.....drum roll please..............fructose!
Worst still was the price, this supplement cost £5.99 for 100 fructose tablets!!!
Now if I want to get some energy, call me crazy for this revolutionary idea, but I'll eat some real food and if I want it to contain fructose I'll eat some fruit, it will be a fraction of the cost of the supplement and at least it will contain some fibre, water, vitamins and phytonutrients and a whole host of yet to be discovered nutrients.
You don't need energy from a pill, adequate hydration, correct nutrition, time efficient workouts and the right amount of sleep will trump any 'energy' pill hands down.
