Fat Loss is the number one goal here. I love that this supplement will seem to help with that and also contains some really important factors that effect longevity and such. I love r lipoic acid and this likes like the perfect supp to me.
That is kind of what I was thinking, thank you for the response. Here is my breakdown:
5' 10"
186
8% or 9%...really no visible fat. I am 32, when I was 32 i lost 45 lbs. Only about 10lbs or so to go before I am magazine cover ripped.
A few questions:
1. Why Mucana before bed - I am guessing for growth hormone (somatropin) release?
2. I currently only eat about 100-125 grams of carbs a day - should I keep the carbs low and use this supp...should I bump up the carbs a bit? I try to get by on as little carbs as possible...I only use them as I need them.
3. I play baskteball 3 times a week 1.5 hours, and wondering if this product if used before would cause to much of a hypoglycemic effect. It is like hiting a wall when you are playing ball and you feel that crash of blood sugar dropping...like you can't even walk. I am guessing at this point you are burning fat like crazy but I also can't perform. Your thoughts on this please?
4. My diet goes like this:
Breakfast - 35grams pro - glutamine - 25 grams of carbs only if working out...don't eat allot of carbs because my workouts are strong. Just started using Clenbutrx and the energy is the best I have ever had from a supplement since the original Venom Hyperdrive.
After a workout about the same breakdown...I don't eat that many carbs at all, should I bump up -I never loose strength and my body is good around 8 or 9 %. I have been cutting for about 2 weeks and I have been using R lipoic acid and increased protein a bit...strength has maintained and even gone up a bit.
The rest of the day is every 3 hours protein and fat until bed...totals:
260ish protein
100 carbs
40-50 grams of fat - egg yolks(2) - low fat cheese - almonds - omega 3's
5. Lets say I have a cheat meal that contains fat(Hamburger and fries). Can this supplement or r lipoic in general store fat - bad fat that is. I understand it is either carbs and protein - fat and protein - but never fat and carbs. I used Glucophase XR by designer supplements in the past - I would use it on cheat meals and such and I seemed to gain weight on it.
6. I like to walk allot - other than basketball I never do mindless cardio, elliptical or treadmill. It is either a basketball workout/or walking. I wake up and walk for about 45 minutes on an empty stomach and walk later in the evening after dinner for about the same amount. What are your thoughts on walking and fat loss...I know that steady state activity isn't the best for fat burning. I don't like to drive my body into the ground as basketball and weight training can do that. I understand that fat burning requires a certain amount of oxygen...your thoughts on walking.
7. Fav workout day is lifting - post workout meal - then an hour later go play ball for 1 - 1.5...how do I play this nutritionally and how can I maximize that scenario using this supplement?
I know this is allot but I have read the responses you have given and appreciate your insight. When I am not studying for school (Nutritionist) I am reading posts because they have some of the best information possible on diet/supplements/worko
