It kind of depends on your goal, fitness level, and budget... and memory. If I

get too many things going at once I forget to take half of it anyway. At one

point I was using Myoplex, whey protein, creatine, glutamine, CLA, flax, vitamin

C, vitamin E, calcium, green tea extract, amino acids, methoxyflavone,

glucosamine, chondroiton, MSM... and some other stuff. That was when I was

working at GNC part time. I got a massive discount, so I'd spend my whole shift

shopping. :-)

You don't really need any supplements in order to do well. If I were going to

pick 3 for somebody just starting out, they would be whey protein, flax oil, and

Myoplex Lite.

A big tub of whey protein is great because you can use it as your protein source

for any meal where you're short on time or ideas. Protein shake and oatmeal,

protein shake and fruit - it's just really handy. Plus, you can use it in

recipes for protein pudding, jello, cookies, stuff like that. Most fitness pros

prefer whey over soy for maximum fat loss. I've tried a LOT of protein powders,

and chocolate EAS Simply Whey is one of the better tasting ones.

If you want to read more about the benefits of flax oil, go here:

http://barleans.com/literature/index.html Get the oil, not the pills. (It takes

14 pills to = 1 tbsp oil) Most of us find that a tablespoon a day reduces our

cravings and helps with fat loss. You can either put it in a shake, take it in a

shot glass with something like grapefruit juice to mask the taste, mix it with

vinegar and seasonings for a salad dressing, or my Fear Factor method - pour it

under my tongue and then gulp water. I think you would need a ton of ground

seeds to get a whole tablespoon of oil.

Myoplex and other meal replacements are just convenient. It's a quick, perfectly

balanced meal that doesn't require any thought or preparation. It's easier to

get your six meals in if one or two of them are meal replacement shakes or bars.

They're not a " must have " though, and you certainly don't need to go through

three a day. Most people will tell you that whole foods are better whenever

possible.

Hope that gives you some ideas.
