sometimes i don't think placebos are a bad thing, if they encourage you
so long as they aren't too stupid. eg my ass-toning trainers - do i reeeeeally think they tone my ass? no. but having spent £100 on them meant that i started walking home, and now often walk home 3-4 times a week, which i didn't do before. so well worth it.

placebos are not a bad thing.
This is not a placebo effect though. This is paying money for more of something that your diet already contains too much of.

mine probably doesn't
typical diet would be 2 ryvitas and low fat homous for breakfast with fresh orange (SMOOTH), soup or itsu or something for lunch, and skip dinner or go out and eat something horrendous like feta cheese dip and pittas. i eat a lot of beans/chickpeas, drink milk and am TRYING to eat more fish, but probably a protein deficit really

it's almost unknown for a western diet to be deficient in protein.
what you mention above would be fine. For protein, I mean. You're probably missing a cock load of B vits, but you probably don't need extra protein.

a cock load of vit Bs
sounds like an attempt to talk me into swallowing, dude

Not swallowing is plain rude.
