In these cases, the enlarged breasts are usually temporary.

Svar: Om alla kosttillskott som är avsedda att öka på fettförbränningen kan man säga att de ger en mycket mindre effekt än du skulle önska och att du för att märka av effekten måste se till att göra allt annat rätt först. Det vill säga: träna hårt och regelbundet, äta riktigt riktigt bra och i rätt mängd och fördelning mellan kolhydrater, fett och protein, osv.

US News: Food news can get you dizzy, so know what to swallow: 13 november 2000

"The best recommendations are really boring," says Klurfeld. "It's moderation and variety." Steven Goldstein, the New Yorker, agrees. "At some point, you have to trust your own instincts. I try to seek the answers from everyone else when the answers are probably inside me. 'Eat a sensible diet and it's OK to have a piece of cake every once in a while.' The problem is the definition of once in a while."

The Daily Apple: Do You Need Vitamins and Mineral Supplements?: 12 oktober 1999

But take it from a medical writer who has been covering nutritional supplementation for more than 20 years: The vitamin lovers and vitamin haters are both wrong. It's prudent to take supplements, but you don't need to spend more than $10 a month.

Pumpitup!: The Louis Theroux BBC TV Programme Gallery:

Thor writes on the BodybuildingContests mailing list: "All of those who are interested in the TV show "Weird Weekends" ("Body Builders" episode) should be warned that it is one in a series of "mockumentaries" that take a look at groups on America's oddball fringe (e.g., Aryan Nation survivalists, aspiring porno stars, pro wrestlers, etc.) The show focuses on women's bodybuilding.

While Louis Theroux's approach is a little more compassionate than others exploiting this genre (e.g., he resists the temptation to wink to the camera when something especially bizarre is being filmed), I believe that most who have a love of bodybuilding will not feel entirely comfortable with how it is portrayed in this piece."

Chris LeClaire, through extensive interviews with Reeves, has unfolded the Reeves persona and explained what Steve meant when he instructed trainees to work out, then get out of the gym and live. LeClaire offers a span of the life of the young Reeves, the teenage bodybuilder; the Mr. America, and Mr. Universe winner; the movie star; and the current man who has represented so many facets to millions of fans. LeClaire shapes his text to appeal to anyone who may have been interested in only one aspect of Reeves's life, or to others who are curious about the range of Steve's accomplishments." - Joe Roark, FLEX magazine
