Sorry about the delay in posting my first day. My cold has flared back up and is kicking my butt.

The directions on the LipidFX bottle state to take two capsules twice a day with meals, about 6 to 8 hours apart. But I have read that Marc from Scivation recommends taking the two capsules 20 to 30 minutes before meals, so that is what I will be doing.

I took 2 capsules at 5 AM and two at 11:30 AM.

I didn't notice any appetite suppression. I did notice that I seemed to get a full feeling quicker than normal. Also, I normally eat my first three meals at 5:30 AM, 8:30 AM and at noon. I'm usually pretty hungry by my 8:30 meal, but today I worked right through the morning without getting hungry at all. I didn't even notice that I had misssed my meal! That's pretty impressive for me as I have a huge appetite and have to eat every three or so hours or I get cranky.

I trained legs today and didn't notice anything different during my workout.

Macros for today: 2815 cals - P 315 g (44.7%0, C 220 g (31.2%), F 75 g (21.4%)

I took 2 capsules at 5 AM and 2 capsules at 11:30 AM. I am still not experiencing any appetite suppression, but, boy, do I feel full more quickly. I have a poor satiety feedback loop, I often can overeat and not feel full until an hour later. Now, all of a sudden I get full half-way to two-thirds through my meal. I did get hungry for my 8:30 AM meal today, unlike yesterday.

I felt kind of lethargic today, but I'm still battling my stupid cold. I only got about five hours of not very quality sleep, so I can't really attribute the lethargy to the LipidFX.

Friday is a non-training day, so the lethargy wasn't a huge issue for me. Unfortunately, I messed up on my meal tracking, so I don't have any macros for today.

I would consider that appetite supression

Yes, I guess you're right. I tend to think of appetite suppression as not being able to eat, but not wanting to eat is the same thing isn't it? I change my comment, it does provide appetite suppresion!

It really does irritate me when I can't keep my logs updated. I finally went to the doctor because my cold just wasn't going away. It turned out that I has a bad case of bronchitis. This is the first time I've ever had it, it really kicked my but. Of course, it didn't help that I waited so long to go to the doctor. He told me that I had waited so long there was nothing he could really do, my immune system was already taking over, so he said prescribing me antibiotics wouldn't do me any good.

He also told me not to work out until I feel better, so that sucks.

I took my first two capsules at 8 AM and the second two at 5 PM. I was a good boy and didn't have any alcohol for New Year's Eve. On a side note I felt really bad for Dick Clark. He was still recovering from his stroke and I wonder if he should have sat out another year. But then again, some people probably enjoyed the fact he was back.

Macros for today: P 300 grams (39.2%), C 230 grams (30.0%), F 105 grams (30.8%)

[rusty319]

I went to church today and just took it easy the rest of the day. I am starting to feel a little better.

I took two capsules at 8 AM and 5:30 PM. My wife says she thinks I'm losing weight. That could be partly due to the bronchitis, but I am trying to keep my calories at maintenance levels, so it could be the LipidFX working already?

My macros for today: P 285 grams (41.2%), C 205 grams (29.6%), F 90 grams (29.2%) for a total of 2770 kcal.

[rusty319]

Today is a work holiday for us, so I took my two servings at 8 AM and 4:30 PM. I'm feeling much better and intend to work out again tomorrow.

I am impressed with how quick I feel full on the LipidFX. I'm full after eating about half what I normally do. I have to force myself to finish my meals. I should probably go one day without trying to hit any specific calorie goals and see how much less I eat that day, just to see how much the LipidFX is effecting me. I'm an endomorph, though, so I am cautious about lowering my calories too much in fear that my metabolism will slow down. One day definitely shouldn't hurt though. I'll try this when I feel better.

My macros for today: P 330 grams (41.3%), C 255 grams (31.9%), F 95 grams (26.8%) for a total of 3195 kcalories.

Please don't read any further if you are sensitive to bathroom issues.

OK, now that my disclaimer is done, I have noticed something different with the LipidFX. Quite a few years ago I had a stomach ulcer hemmorage on me. I had to be hospitalized for five days and the doctor said I came close to dying from all the blood I lost. Because of that, I am still paranoid to this day and always check my bowel movements for blood before flushing the toilet. I noticed the first few days on the LipidFX that my stools seemed a little looser, but nothing really noticeable. Today, though, I noticed something really strange. When I checked it out, it really seemed like there was oil in the water along with my bowel movement. It looked really odd, almost like an oil based salad dressing had been poured in. Yuck. I don't know if this is reflective of excess fats coming out from the LipidFX or what.

The oil residue is interesting and disturbing at the same time. The optimistic part of me hopes it's from the fat you're losing. I don't even know if that's physiologically possible, it just occurred to me.

[Beast]

Was this just a one time thing?
Could be something you ate or a multitude of over things.

This is the first report of poop issues.

Keep us updated as your diet normalizes after the holidays.

Ha-ha! Marc said "poop".

Seriously, it seems like an isolated incident. I haven't had any problems since. I am wondering if it possibly was not really oil, but excess mucous from my bronchitis. I was suffering from a lot of post nasal drip. Just as disgusting of a topic, but certainly more understandable.

[rusty319]

I took my two servings at 5 AM and 11:30 AM. I'm noticing that when I eat breakfast at 5:30 I start sweating profusely. My guess is that this is an indication that excess calories are being burned off as heat instead of being stored as bodyfat. I haven't noticed this with any of the other meals yet, it may take a while for me to build up to that, given my propensity for adding bodyfat.

I went to the gym and did chest and back. I cut back a set on every exercise because I was still recovering from my illness. The workout seemed to go well.

I wasn't very hungry throughout the day, so I ended up a little short on protein, which threw off my whole 40/30/30 ratio.

Macros: P 250 grams (35.9%), C 240 grams (34.4%), F 92 grams (29.7%)

I took my two servings of LipidFX at 5 AM and 11:30 AM. More huge amounts of sweat after breakfast. I normally shower before I eat breakfast, I may have to change it to after breakfast, lol.

I did notice some slight cramping in my calf while slepping last night, but drinking some water relieved it. I don't think I had enough water during the day. I haven't had any problems with cramping other than this and I'm not taking in anything to prevent it. I know this has been an issue for some people taking TTA, but it hasn't been for me. I'm not noticing the water retention some have experienced either.

I did 30 minutes of HIIT today on the stationary bike.

Macros: P 255 grams (33.3%), C 265 grams (34.5%), F 110 grams (32.2%)

I got hungry at work in the afternoon and ate some pretzels from the snack machine. That upped my carbs more than I planned and I fell a little short on the protein again.

[rusty319]

Thursday is legs day. I hate legs day. My workout went fine.

I took my two capsules of LipidFX at 5 AM and 11:30 AM. The appetite suppression is still working well. I am only eating half of what I normally would at breakfast and lunch and feeling full. I don't notice the suppression as much at dinner time. The sweating is still there at breakfast, but not at lunch yet.

There are no other side effects to note than the sweating.

I take Fridays off from training. I took my two servings at 5 AM and at noon. The appetite suppression was so strong today I had to force myself to eat breakfast. Usually I am starving when I wake up. I am shocked at how effective the LipidFX is working. I am not over hyping here either, this stuff is really working. My wife has commented again that I am losing weight. My waist has gone down half an inch in only 9 days!

Macros for today: 3310 calories - P 315 grams (38.1%), C 265 grams (32.0%), F 110 grams (29.9%)

Excellent feedback. I cannot take Lipid Fx before my carb-up meal because I have a hard time finishing all my carbs. I'm more full now at 3,500 cals a day using Lipid Fx then I was eating 5,500 cals a day.

I took my two servings at 8 AM and 4:30 PM. The sweating seems a little less now. I did shoulders and arms today. My workout went well. I've noticed some people had lethargy on TTA products, but this hasn't been a problem for me on the LipidFX. I also haven't had any cramping or bloating either, so I'm a happy boy!

The appetite suppression is still there. I know that others have mentioned it in their logs, but you really have to keep track of when to eat your meals or you can easily miss one. I normally eat 4 or 5 meals a day, I can get by with no hunger pangs on three meals a day on the LipidFX. And I'm a big eater.

I took my servings at 8 AM and 5 PM today. I only ate three meals today. Sunday is an off day for me, so no workout today.

Macros: 2645 calories - P 275 grams (41.6%), C 240 grams (36.3%), F 65 grams (22.1%)

Hmm, I ate more of a 40/40/20 ratio than a 40/30/30. I have been thinking of switching over anyway, maybe it was sub-concious on my part. Only 65 grams of fat is pretty low for me.

[rusty319]

Cardio today. I did 30 minutes of HIIT on the treadmill. I took my servings at 5 AM and 11:30 AM. The cardio went well. There's not much else to report other than the LipidFX is still giving me good appetite suppression and no side effects. My waist is definitely smaller. According to the scale I've lost two pounds, but it looks and feels like a little more than that. Hopefully, I adding muscle as I'm losing fat.

Macros: 3064 calories - P 290 grams (37.9%), C 260 grams (33.9%), F 96 grams (28.2%)
