I don't do new year resolutions so can't contribute, but good luck with any choices you make that improve your life, it's all worth it.
My one and only resolution is to wake up every morning, going well so far but who knows... The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
It took me 20 days to decide on this resolution but I decided yesterday morning I’m never drinking again.
16kg is a lot of weight to want to lose in 5/6 months. Realistically that's a year to 18 months, unless you're swapping food for cocaine, as a supplement. It's totally possible to get fitter and build muscle whilst drinking in moderation, but you'll struggle to lose that amount of weight whilst drinking your calories.. bit like pressing the accelerator and brake at the same time.
Unlikely even to need that. Possibly only B12 (even if a flesh eater), but even that's doubtful. Vitamin supplements are a con except for rare specific medically diagnosed cases. As they say, you're pissing your money down the toilet, literally. Same with such as cold liver oil, glucosamine, chondroitin, etc etc.
It's a contentious issue and been debated for decades now, but I wouldn't want to generalise as it's entirely dependent on lifestyle, aims, (and genetics etc. Certainly if you're overdosing on 2000mg vitamin C, whilst having a varied diet and a normal life, you will be pissing out your money, but if you're lifting weights in the gym 4-5 times a week, with the aim of building muscle, taking creatine and protein will have a positive effect. From my perspective, the most important thing is to find something sustainable. There's no purpose to spending several hundred pounds a month on supplements, if you do it for six months and then give up. Same as if you spend the same, but then eat badly or drink to excess. Everyone needs something that they can follow through for the rest of life, and usually a balanced diet is the easiest to maintain. I don't see much sunlight at the moment, due to latitude, so take vitamin d. I probably wouldn't bother if I lived in Spain.
Agree with most of that. Such as creatine and protein supplementation can of course bring benefits for certain goals, such as building additional muscle, but we were talking about vitamins, which are for the most part unnecessary, potentially even harmful including for your wallet. That said, our protein needs are often over-stated by those with vested interest (have you ever heard of anyone dying from lack of protein?). Re. Vitamin D, sounds like you've fallen for the marketing A good source of info ... https://www.drmcdougall.com/education/information/vitamin-d-values-for-normal-are-exaggerated/
