getting all 'food' from supplements

[vanilla sky]

protein is protein and a calorie is a calorie, so i was just wondering why you cant eat nothing but supplements.

cost might f*ck you off eventually maybe?

Body digests supplements differently than food, faster being the main concern

Supps are never as good as the real food, they are meant to supplement but you could "live" off them but there are things in Vegetables and Steaks that you can't get from protein shakes and multivitamins.

Protein and calories are protein and calories but vitamins and minerals are vitamins and minerals.

You will never achieve optimal health by sticking to supplements alone. Your body needs real food to function properly and stay healthy. There likely are vitamins and other benefits in real food that haven't even been discovered yet that you could seriously be depriving your body of.

Plus, real food is so much better. I always considered most supplements to be pretty gross, especially after getting used to them.

You need a balanced diet, end of story.

lol, without solid food you wouldn't be using your teeth or digestive system as much and they would eventually function less. Your teeth could fall out and all sorts would go wrong with digestion, especially because supplements have no fibre. You could survive for a while with supps only though, I suppose.
