Are some people addicted to protein supplements?

protein-supplement-addiction.jpgRecently I was away for the weekend with some friends and I was shocked to shake on how many times mentioned the necessity of their proteins.


This is not the first time I noticed this strange addiction among my circle of friends and guys in the gym, so I wonder how common really is?


What is even more fun is that, during my weekend comments, none of these guys in question it would classify as "enormous". They are mostly media guys with a couple have perhaps a slightly above average muscle mass, however, two mega protein shake mix battery were seated reach arms behind the counter in the kitchen.


Addiction of protein would be entirely a psychological addiction with users not feeling lost far without her several times a day, which is only hit. Last year the sports supplement market raked in more than $ 2.95 million and I imagine that most of this would be some kind of protein supplements.


Very rarely use protein supplements. Maybe I'll buy one if I miss a meal on a rare occasion, but I never use them as part of my strategy of bodybuilding. Instead, I am confident that all food as lentils and rice, chicken, lean meat beef, tuna, salmon, eggs, Greek yogurt and nuts. I am not to boast, but I've built mass nice lean muscle, which often get fulfilled, without supplements.


I'm not saying that protein supplements are evil or not useful, but question the importance of some people about them and the addictive behavior almost seem to create some. The average person does not need all the protein, in fact, consume less protein really makes your body more efficient in the use of the protein consumed.


Unless a person is going to devote his life to the lifestyle of a "bodybuilder", there is no need to consume the amount of protein that a professional bodybuilder would have to consume. My advice to addicts of protein supplement would wean yourself off the shake and consume protein sources of healthy food, everything in its place.


Do you think that protein supplement addiction is becoming more common?
