Just mixed 1 scoop with 10oz of water and I must say they really improved the flavor. This is much better than the original. On that note it's time to get some sleep!!

What did you think the taste was similar to? I thought immediately of Country Time Lemonade with a little sugar added.

That's a good comparison. It helped me to fall asleep very quickly but unfortunately I've woken up a couple of times so far. Hoping it's just because it's night #1

That sounds promising. The old flavor was palatable, and different. I am looking forward to this new one.

I found myself drinking the original as fast as I could to get it down, but I actually kinda sipped on this new flavor. Very tasty!

I did end up waking 3 times last night. Could possibly be due to the fact that I had my post training fluff about 45 minutes before consuming the G8. I know most things absorb better on an empty stomach so will try it that way tonight.

45 mins removed from food should have been fine. Try an hour this next time and see how you respond.

There is a bit of a compounding effect that occurs with G8 from my experience, so the sleep get better with extended use.

How did you feel upon waking?

Ok I will give that a shot. I felt good this morning, better than normal. Actually got up right away and hit some fasted bicep training.

I would try my next dose farther from food and see how it goes.

If you still feel good upon waking you could up the dose. Some people, although kinda rare, could take an entire scoop of the old G8 formula and be just fine.

Ok I'll space it out more and see how I respond. If no change I will up it to 1 1/2 and go from there.

2 scoops of the original would be insane, although might be fun to see how long you could stay awake lol

Well the serving size was cut in half on G8. It's still the same ingredient blend gram for gram, so a full scoop of the new formula is the same as half of a scoop of the old.

It's the same amount of product just a more user friendly dosing option.

I actually could tell from the scoop size that it was a smaller dose. I heard they were going to do something. Really glad they didn't mess with the formula

Never change a winning team;)

Formula is great, would be insane to mess with that.

Yeah the scoop is smaller. I think the tub is even a tad smaller, at least it looks like it.

Ya I'd say the scoop is half the size of the original or close. I was reading your log and I like your description of its effects. You are spot on. I took 1 scoop again last night around 11, layed down, and within 20 mins started feeling warm. Almost the feeling you get from a thermogenic. Shortly after I closed my eyes and was out! I did wake up 2 times last night but was able to fall back to sleep rather quickly. Woke up around 6 this morning and was a little drowsy but that quickly wore off.
 
Woke again every 3ish hours last night. Could be due to the fact that we are in Denver and not at home in my own bed. Another reason could be the terrible heartburn I've been getting at night also. I'm going to up the dose tonight to 1 1/2 scoops and see what happens.

You are one sleepless guy! Upping the dose might be the right call. Make sure you have plenty of time to sleep though lol.

Ya I couldn't tell you the last time I slept through the night. If I remember right it was after a full scoop of the original ;)

I had an endoscopy about 5 years ago and they said I had a hiatal hernia. I used to get heartburn all the time but hadn't gotten it in quite a while. I'm thinking it's probably something I'm taking that's causing it.

They probably did, but to be honest I don't remember. I generally take a teaspoon of baking soda and 4oz warm water and that gets rid of it temporarily. Not ideal, but cheap and better than nothing.

sounds like one of my mom's home remedies, lol.
 
Heartburn blows. I have had issues with this also here lately, but I think it is either my Adderrall or my dietary choices.
