Discussion
amusing to see all those t
ts at the gym with their bottles of protein shakes and energy drinks...I particularly liked the giggled response from the professor when asked what he thought of calorie free enrgy drink!
I lose about 2lbs of my mass after 1 hard hour of rowing. thats about 1% of my weight...praise the Lord I dont lose 2%..thats 2 hour of same...not many people I see at gym do that..so they only need a little bit of water.
Its usually the fatties who spend more time drinking sports juice and adjusting the ipod music than bloody well sweating!

Protein shakes can be a fairly cost effective way of getting protein at least, assuming you buy a cheap one without tons of crap in it. If you compare the cost per gram of protein to chicken, tuna, and eggs for instance, they often come out cheaper. They're not really any better for you but if you're not eating much protein it's one way of boosting intake.
Interesting watch but it tells me nothing that I don't know already. There's no better substitute for nutrients than a balanced diet and you cannot just rely on sport supplements as you have to go out there and do the exercise in the first place to obtain results.
However, the programme is very biased and consists of a bunch of researchers with an axe to grind (who look fat and miserable and probably are not the sporting type anyway) and only seem to present their side without giving similar airtime for the opposite side to present their evidence.
The part on footwear is an interesting one about how we should just go out a buy a normal pair of comfortable shoes for excercise and that would be enough - ignoring the recent trend on barefoot running shoes.
Well, having recently made a switch over to more minimal type running shoes has made a positive impact as I no longer experience IT band pain when running as I changed my form to a forefoot strike. Coincidence?
Re on the visit to South Africa/Canada - surely they could have conducted the interview over tele conference rather than spending public cash on a jollie to the other side of the world.

Having a forefoot strike is a good thing, but you don't necessarily need an expensive "barefoot" shoes to get one. Just running barefoot achieves the same thing for less cost.

Awful programme.
Typical BBC consumer advice programme...makes you think all products are a rip off.
Plus stating the obvious.
I found the section about hydration a little silly. Even government advice is drinking something like 2 pints of water a day.
Listen a panarama and you should only drink when your piss looks like beer!
