Can I go a whole day without eating real food and just rely on protein powder or MRPs? Assuming I supplememt with EFA and vitamins, what would be the harm in doing so?
What exactly are these elements and nutrients? Can't they also come in some pill form. For example, we have things like Fiber pills now.[b said:Quote[/b] (BoSox @ Oct. 23 2004,4:30)]in the short run, as in maybe a day, probably not, but there are so many trace elements and nutrients that come in real foods that aren't in supplements.
There are thousands upon thousands of chemical components of food that you cannot get from supplements. Hell there is very little proof that addition vitamins that are not in the origonal wrapper (fruit/vege) actually show any long term health benefit.[b said:Quote[/b] (foozballking @ Oct. 24 2004,6:55)]What exactly are these elements and nutrients?

Strangely enough, in most junk food they are eating a reasonable quantity of veges etc. Doesnt mean their health would not be better with additional fruits n veges[b said:Quote[/b] ]
Also if you think about how many Americans go all day on junk food, not eating any fruits/vegetables. I'm sure thats not nearly as bad as MRPs.
Not even slightly.[b said:Quote[/b] (Tom Treutlein @ Oct. 26 2004,2:00)]in general, is it balanced well?
probably not a whole lot of effect from it[b said:Quote[/b] (dkm1987 @ Oct. 26 2004,4:25)]Aaron, back to his question though, do you think there would be any ill effect for a short term, like a day or even two a week?
