The one between three and three.
It is a made up problem.
Study after study shows that vitamins don't reduce signs of aging, cardiovascular disease, or cognitive decline. You know, the things that are actually signs of health. Things that will improve by eating calories at maintenance and getting some sleep.
Vitamins, supplements are a ‘waste of money’ for most Americans
Northwestern Medicine scientists say for non-pregnant, otherwise healthy Americans, vitamins are a waste of money because there isn’t enough evidence they help prevent cardiovascular disease or cancer.knews.northwestern.edu
Most people eating like a typical first worlder aren't deficient in anything besides dietary discipline and moderate exercise.
Seriously, if you are eating 1800 - 2000 calories a day, you are not deficient in nutritients. All food, even the processed shit, has nutritional value. You know why? Because nobody with a diet of Big Macs and Subway sandwiches had went to the doctor for starvation or lack of nutrition.
Instead of getting dietary discipline, people go spend $20 on vitamins that do nothing, because eating an apple is too much of a stretch.
Then blame the food for having sugar and being expensive to eat healthy so rather starve themselves by juicing or whatever the fuck.
Most people don't know how many calories they eat a day, how many calories they need, or their marcos...but they need vitamins...that makes no sense.
Vitamins are for cancer patients, AIDS patients, pregnant women, immunosuppressant people - people that have compromised bodies, where vitamins are used as an assurance.
It's not for a motherfucker that is too lazy in an era of an overabundance of food, to pick nutrient dense food.
People rather spend money on the idea of being healthy than actually be healthy.
Vitamins are the biggest health scam since the food pyramid but if it make people feel better than go ahead and drop that $25 lol.
The bolded is complete and utter baloney.
If there's one thing that My 600lb Life has shown, it's that you can be grossly overweight, eating 4000-5000 calories a day and STILL be malnourished. It's happened to several of his patients.
Here's one: I bookmarked it at the relevant part after her first consultation.
