Will this ever happen? (serious)

[UltraTrunks]

Will the supplement companies in the near future with all the technology we have, develop supplements soo high-tech that we won't need to eat whole foods anymore?

Imagine that, taking a bunch of supplements every meal, no need for real foods. Just all preservatives.

HAHA, what you guys think?

[MBSowards]

Something like this will have to happen before we discover deep space travel. (serious)

(well serious, in a joking kinda way)

To hell with that. I enjoy eating.

[BreakingPoint8]

To hell with that. I enjoy eating.

That's for damn sure. I love me some steak

[_J-BONE_]

How sad life would be if all I had to look forward to each day was taking some pills at various intervals....

Oh look this pill tastes like chalk..yum yum.. then no more eating until dinner

[NeXeD]

i'd settle for a pill form of a protein shake.

You've obviously never done a contest diet - I looked forward to my shakes! That's the sweetest meal I had.

...it's called a handful of "amino" tabs.

if the only thing u have to look forward to is eating then thats sad but i do think that'd suck to just pop a couple pills everyday in stead of eating a juicy steak or some bbq ribs!

[MuscleManxx]

then we wouldnt take those massive dumps any more lol

pros and cons to that i guess

hygiene would be better thats for sure

nah no contests diets train strictly for lax and hockey.. and i don't mind looking way better than all my friends on the beach come summer.....

I don't mind the taste of some of them.... but i really don't like the aftertaste of any of the ON Whey's i tried.... Loving Dymatize Elite 12 and Torrent.


Amino tabs?

[Jeff the Repper]

It has been done. When Met-Rx was first launched ( Base & Plus ) they had guys ingesting only that for six to eight weeks ( plus liquids ) and made good strength and muscle gains. I did it myself for a week and straight and it was good, but cost me a fortune, as well as being very bland and boring. I can't imagine doing it again, as stated, I like real food and would miss Steak and sweet potatoes way too much.

[Ericisfly]

i wouldnt mind. maybe make a steak out of supplements?!

[chasinSKURT]

Steak out of a grill sounds much better.

Seriously... If I had the option to have a perfect diet via pills, or an almost perfect diet with whole foods, I'd go whole foods all day.

[UltraTrunks]

but life would be so convienent =D

[--TheGuy--]

You couldn't keep me from eating...I need my Steak and Funyuns

[Beast21]

I would definitely try the all pills diet if it was more effective than most whole food diets. I personally don't find much joy in eating. It's kind of a chore. Just me, I guess.

sounds like the product scivation is/was working on.

[H38PRO]

I've thought about this myself. That'd be okay with me. I hate eating it's become a chore. Pasta, chicken. Rice, chicken. Pasta, steak. Pasta pasta pasta chicken steak chicken steak. Protein shakes. And yea, I look forward to the protein shakes over my meals. I can at least get them down quick verses sitting down and eating until I feel sick.

Pop a few pills and have the calories carbs and protein?
Sh*t. I'd be happy.

[Jacerick]

Wouldnt the stomach shrink to a tiny size?

[mer-der-ah]

wtf... sounds like someone finally watched that old skool movie 2001 a space odyssey!

[Aussie12]

How on earth could you compress 250g of protein into 5g pills?? lol
If it was possible we would have to be swallowing like 5000 pills a day to get all our nutrients in.

[Drexx]

It's be cool if it were cheap and had the same nutritional value as real food, save time and money, but then again, I like food... Just not cooking it.

Even if it did happen, It wouldn't be in our lifetimes.

not pills but synthetic food is the future of humanity like it or not

the planet will not sustain itself forever with us constantly ****ting on it and breeding like rabbits, at some point there will simply not be enough natural food and synthetic analogs will have to be developed.

its true, at some point we'll reach a density dependent limiting factor and we REALLY dont want to get there...

back to technology, I do think that a transdermal patch with vital nutrients and nanites that track nutrient levels in the body will be a reality, delivering only the exact amount the body needs and at the exact place. no more worrying about oral bioavailability or liver toxicity or capsule fillers like maltodextrin and gelatin.

i think that nanotechnology along with molecule delivery systems will be a reality at some point
