"Supplements are meant to supplement your diet, food is your main nutrient of choice!" Says Tom Platz

Bodybuilder Tom Platz has witnessed how the sport has evolved for better or worse since he commanded the stage during the golden era. In a recent video that surfaced on Instagram, Platz highlighted the unfair practices in the supplement industry and emphasized that the main source of body recovery is a nutrient-dense diet.

Although dietary supplement companies have a strong presence in the bodybuilding and fitness industry, Tom Platz doesn't think they are a necessary tool for physique improvement, which is why he said:

"You have to feed the body. Supplements are meant to supplement the diet, food is the main nutrient of choice. That has never changed. Food is your main source of recovery. I don't like dietary supplement companies.

Dietary supplements are dietary supplements. Some things are a little better than others, but the answer isn't in the supplements. Egg whites? Forget it, that's leftover chicken. That's just nothing. Whey makes me sick, bloated, walking and farting and stuff. It's really - bodybuilders take it for granted!"
