A whole food recommendation followed by a supplement recommendation seems contrary. Here’s the deal. Foods are simply less nutritious now than they were 20 years ago. Farming practices and pressure to produce higher yields have made the end product about 25% less nutritious that it was 20 years ago. Some of these farming practices have lead to foods that might even be dangerous to us (Google “GMO” and read this: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/gmo-monsanto/).
In short, we have gaps to fill and the easiest way to fill them is with supplementation.
I take Shakeology (www.myshakeology.com/shayna214) whey protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and on occasion the recovery formula (sugar is an issue, but it has its place). If/when I get into a lot of endurance training, I will also add in a multi-vitamin. The goal here is to give my body what it needs to process the basics. At the minimum you need a good multi-vitamin.
You have to focus first on making sure your body’s basic functions are addressed. It isn’t going to do you any good to take an expensive supplement if you can’t digest it and process the ingredients. Address your base nutrition first and foremost.
