Just like that old brain (as you had conversed with him through mail) I also attracted with the magic pill and believed in short term policy. And truly both of them (magic pill and short term policy) proved their inability and since then I was disappointed as well carried upon the side effect of this false impression. I thought I was unlucky to follow the gospels of God (as I believed them). Luckily I found this wonderful site which not only boost my confidence but also motivated a lot. Thanks a lot.

All of my fitter friends had done it all natural, no supplements (other than the occasional protein shake), and put in the time. They told me exactly what to expect, and that if I was still in the gym a year from my start that things would start to change. Most people are looking for the quick fix, and wouldn't dedicate the time necessary to really change your body. For those people, I say let them have their supplements. We'll take the real thing any day! I guess I just got lucky when I started.

My only problem is that when someone comes to me for my advice and ideas and then totally disregards what I have to say. So, they take their time reading my stuff, reading the work of those I recommend and then, further selling themselves on the reason to pick up the phone and seek me out personally. I then take my time out of goodwill, simply to help out a young guy who was in a similar state of confusion I was in a few years ago. I really wanted to help him. I gave my time and energy for free without anything to show for it. This is why my time is better spent writing articles and answering questions(for free) and doing consultations(definitely not for free) with those who are determined and take this fitness thing seriously. At least with articles and forum posts I can reach an actual audience instead of trying to save the world one soul at a time. Then again, I am sure there are many who read my site and think I'm batshit crazy. Oh well, right? I understand the passion and desire, really.

Keep it coming guys! I appreciate all the info that I could get a hold on and determine what works for me specifically and what wouldn't. I do hope that you don't get tired helping people with their fitness woes, JC. Just like most of the guys here, they're as passionate in your chosen field as you are. And, this bro who bailed-out on you, he's still on his learning curve. I’ve been reading quite a lot of blogs here in your site and I’m learning quite a lot! Keep it coming guys!
