so is the general consensus that a person's size wont effect their dosage needs much? seems like only one person has thought it might be a factor.
i guess it makes sense to not jump to conclusions about the progress made so far, i just had figured that i would see something in the first week after reading a lot of other people's results. i have no problem being patient and waiting for the stuff to kick in.
another one of my curiosities then is about side effects. does it also take time for those to set in? from all my past experiences taking medications of various sorts, if i was going to get side effects, i would get them within the first 2-3 days of starting the meds. after 6 days now, and at 3 caps a day, i still feel no sides whatsoever. no heat, no sweat, no extra shitting, no fatigue (my strength is still increasing in the gym)
my diet is about as spot-on as a broke college student athlete can get, and i already do cardio at least twice a day, assuming you count the 2 hour practice we have 5 days a week.
also, for the question about when i am dosing, i wasnt entirely sure about when i should, so i have tried doing all 3 caps at once, as well as splitting the caps up throughout the day, and also have added the variable of taking them on an empty stomach. the only dosage scheme ive had a slight issue with was taking my last dose on an empty stomach at night and then laying down immediately, and about 20 minutes after the dose, feeling a very slight bit of nausea, which then went right away. now that i think about it, i dont every remember reading anything about when to dose, only how much... so any extra input on that would be appreciated too.
at this point in time, based on the responses, i think im gonna do a little of each. im going to ride it out at 3 a day for a little bit longer, see how it goes, and then, as skratch says, "dose on what I would feel", while keeping in mind to not go overboard and kill myself.
anymore constructive inputs would still be appreciated, thanks for all the help
*edit*
i was writing my response at the time the last person posted, so i will answer those questions here. i work out 2 on 1 off, and i try to do cardio every day that i workout. i also have a 2 hour practice 5 days a week. about every 3rd sunday, i get a day where i have no "scheduled" physical activity, and have the whole day to myself. i eat pretty well, the only real mistakes come from missing a meal here or there, not from binging on junk food... cant afford junk food honestly, lol.
i dont really know what is meant by "mostly" fat. the greater percentage of body fat i have is visceral, i have a gut, but you cant see much fat elsewhere. i think this comes as a result of the fact that i am very active, even though im as large as i am. im a varsity athlete so its pretty much required of me. ive never had my bodyfat done, but since most people severely underguess my weight, id put myself somewhere around 30%. thats a lot higher than most people around here, but i have also been a powerlifter for quite some time, and only really started caring about getting my bf% down in the last half year or so.
hope that answers all the questions and such. feel free to leave more feedback.
