However, I\u2019m always happy to share what I personally incorporate into my daily routine. Here, I\u2019ll walk you through a typical day of mine and break down what supplements I take when and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Morning<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My morning supplement regimen changes from time to time depending on what diet strategy I\u2019m currently using. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/types-of-intermittent-fasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intermittent fasting<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/common-keto-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ketogenic diet<\/a> have always been great for my body composition and health markers, I&#8217;m usually using one of those tactics.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I\u2019m in a fasting phase and plan on training in the morning, my morning supplements are primarily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/healthy-weight\/popular\/keto-hq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ketones<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/popular\/bcaas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BCAAs<\/a>. Yes, I admit that consuming these supplements renders this \u201cfast\u201d not actually a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">true <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fast. Still, I have the mind of a meathead and want to ensure I maintain muscle and strength, even during a diet, hence the BCAAs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/how-to-pack-on-muscle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">7 Pro Tips That&#8217;ll Help You Pack On Muscle<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because I have a busy lifestyle, I\u2019ll usually toss down a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/multivitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multivitamin<\/a> and multi-mineral as well. In addition to being a researcher, I\u2019m also the CEO of the <a href=\"https:\/\/theaspi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Applied Science and Performance Institute<\/a>, which is basically the Disneyland of sports science and cutting-edge training. I don\u2019t always get in three square meals a day, so taking a multi helps me take in some important micronutrients that I may not be able to get from food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before getting into the ketogenic diet, I would also take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/supplements\/omegas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fish oil<\/a> in the morning for heart and joint health. It really helped me stay on top of my game when I was huge into bodybuilding and powerlifting. Since I have no problem getting enough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/supplements\/omegas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">omega-3 fatty acids<\/a> in now that I follow keto, I don\u2019t supplement with them anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pre-Workout<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I work out in the morning (which depends on when my cat, Diego, wakes me up), I\u2019ll also chug some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/performance-supplements\/pre-workout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pre-workout<\/a>. Usually, I look for a pre-workout that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/workout-fuel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">caffeine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/performance-supplements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beta-alanine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/popular\/creatine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">creatine<\/a>, and either <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/popular\/nitric-oxide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">beetroot<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/popular\/nitric-oxide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">l-citrulline malate<\/a>. These ingredients improve performance, recovery, and help me get a better pump. I used to be huge on caffeine, but I don\u2019t triple scoop pre-workouts like I used to. I generally aim for around 150 to 200 milligrams of caffeine, 1.6 to 3.2 grams of beta-alanine, three to five grams of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/popular\/creatine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">creatine monohydrate<\/a>, and four to eight grams of l-citrulline. When it comes to beetroot, the dosage depends on the concentration of the extract, so how much I take varies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Post-Workout<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After my workout, I usually just slug back a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/protein-powders\/whey-protein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whey protein shake<\/a>. Whey really is the ideal protein source for building muscle; it digests well, has all of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/supplements\/amino-acids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential amino acids<\/a> (EAAs) in good quantities, and has super-high amounts of the amino acid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/supplements\/amino-acids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leucine<\/a>, which makes it very efficient for muscle building. When I train fasted, I typically double up the scoops in my protein shake to ensure my body gets back into a muscle-building state afterward.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Throughout the Day<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the day I take ketones for a little boost of energy and focus as I work on research or business projects. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/food-drinks\/foods\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dark chocolate<\/a> also gives me a little boost and most of the folks at ASPI know that if they see me eating chocolate, it\u2019s time to get out of my way!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/ways-youre-zapping-your-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6 Ways You&#8217;re Unknowingly Zapping Your Energy<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I\u2019m too busy for full meals, I\u2019ll chug some more whey protein or EAAs, depending on what I have to mix them in. If I haven\u2019t run out of almond milk, I\u2019ll whip up a whey protein smoothie with peanut butter, flax seeds, creatine, and any other treats lying around our food science lab that might taste good in a shake. If I\u2019m stuck with just water, I down some EAAs and keep grinding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Evening<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Diego lets me sleep in in the morning, I might work out after I get home. Whether or not I train after work, though, I usually end the day with a UC-II <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/supplements\/collagen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collagen supplement<\/a>. After 20-plus years of heavy lifting, my joints aren\u2019t too happy with me and I\u2019ve been experiencing great results when it comes to joint comfort since adding collagen to my supplement stack.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Special Occasions<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One last supplement worth mentioning is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/supplements\/antioxidants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">berberine<\/a>. I use berberine before and for a few days after special occasions when I eat a meal that contains carbs, which are few and far between on keto. The dessert menu is just too good to resist at a few of my favorite restaurants and berberine is usually a good bet for improving insulin sensitivity, so it can be helpful for a ketogenic dieter like myself who is trying to stay in ketosis more often than not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23050\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/fitness-supplements\/dr-jacob-wilson\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?fit=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"400,400\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Dr Jacob Wilson\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?fit=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"wp-image-23050 alignleft lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?resize=213%2C213&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"(max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?resize=272%2C272&amp;ssl=1 272w\" alt width=\"213\" height=\"213\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?w=400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?resize=272%2C272&amp;ssl=1 272w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/whatsgood.vitaminshoppe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Dr-Jacob-Wilson.jpg?resize=213%2C213&amp;ssl=1\"><\/em><em><br>\nKnown as \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/themusclephd\/?hl=en\">The Muscle Ph.D.<\/a>,\u2019 Dr. Jacob Wilson has a knack for transforming challenging, complex concepts into understandable lessons that can support your body composition and health goals.
