Hi Edith,


If one is upper middle class, one can afford

I beg to differ.

First of all, you don't need traditional weight training / bodybuilding
supplements. A good, natural (mostly) will give you all you need.
Supplements are just that, supplements, to compensate a poor diet and a
tired food chain (no minerals). The only thing I consider insurance in this
domain is Vitamin C and Trace Minerals. Not expensive and worth it. You will
notice that most bodybuilding supplements are fads. After a while of reading
you will notice the "supplement of the month of two", until something new
($ale$) comes up.

Second, same thing for the gym concept. Get yourself a good book of military
or gymnastic calisthenics or (pre) training. Your body weight will be a
struggle for quite a while. Chin ups were (and still are) a struggle. Can't
do sets of 20 of them. Keeps people humble too =0)

Third, real food is not at all that expensive. Consider the alternatives of
eating "cheap, commercial, industrial" foods (pasta, chemical loaded
"instant" stuff, fast food), you will have a short term monetary gain but
you will lose this edge when you get sick. Go see a candida albicans
treatment page. Look at the prices and process to kill it. Very expensive,
all this courtesy of simplified sugars and commercial junk.

More to come,

Just my 2 cents,

Dan C.
