baking isle dude
Thanks, lil Miss Muffett.
Is this a really sweet product?
Ohhh. It's COCOA. lol
This is going to be yummy.
I lold pretty good at this
Trying it now with my almond/protein shake. 1 tsp in 1.5c. Not bad.
I'll try adding some to my morning yogurt too. About how much do you add?
I made the mistake of sampling it yesterday with nothing. Gross!
Morning weight: 193.6
My stomach is gassy/achy this morning though.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I'm pretty sure I notice some leaning out in the upper abdominal area:
Absolutely see changes! Chest, tris and upper ab area for sure are more defined. Hard to loose stomach area is better as well. Keep cranking it!
Hit up some Airborne to kill that cold.Just took my second dose. I'll update my WO later on, I need to try and catch up on a little work. I also sense there may be a minor cold coming on again. I hope not.

Notes:
I seemed to have caught my second wind right near the end. Makes me wonder if my weak-week has been all mental. I’ll probably hit something tomorrow then take Sunday off because wife is working tomorrow.
Speaking of wife, she says I’ve been spending too much time on my phone. She has a point. Especially since I’ve been gone the last few weekends. So, I’ll be spending a little less time here on evenings and weekends. I can always update meals at 0330 and workouts at work. Can’t neglect the wife, ya’ know.
No workout this weekend. Will update my eats and dosing in the AM. As if right now I have 6 caps left. Not sure if I'll take another (second) today or save them for tomorrow and Tuesday.
Getting ready to prep my food for the week and put together my workouts.
Have a great Sunday brother!!
You also bro!
Wife is happy I haven't been glued to the phone.![]()
That's hilarious! My wife is the same wayYou also bro! Wife is happy I haven't been glued to the phone.![]()
That's hilarious! My wife is the same way
Weekend eats-
Fri: 2,457 272/194c/73f 48 fibers
Sat: 2,904 226/278/81 29 fibers
Sun: 2,018 157/131/93 28 fibers
Not too bad of a weekend. I probably should've got in some cardio, or maybe and ab day or something. It was nice having the weekend to rest, but I still feel a little tired.
I only took 2 caps Level II Saturday (both morning), and 1 cap in the morning on Sunday.
Saturday's meals included popcorn and nachos because the wife and I went to see a movie.
Sunday I sampled my meal prep as I made it and had some beef jerky and tried a pickled spicy sausage. It was so-so. For lunch I had pork with blue cheese and A1:
(Not letting me upload photos.)
I really could've used that second Level II capsule yesterday. It took everything I had to not eat more. It doesn't help that I have Reese's waiting on me in the cabinet.
The plan is, like I usually do, 2 caps staggered this AM, and one around lunch time.
I'm prepared for chest or legs this morning. I want to do chest, but we'll see if that's possible on a Monday...
Edit:-
Going to change up my pwo meal a little.
1s Choc protein powder in...
1.5c Unsweetened Almond Milk
Coffee xX
1/4c Oats w/ 1/2tsp each cocoa and cinnamon.
1/2 avocado, eaten Intra WO.
Diet stayed tight over the weekend nice job! One day at maintenance, one day over one day under. Very very well done. I struggle a lot on weekends myself.
I believe everyone should have one or 2 cheat days but of course in moderation.
What movie did you see?
Energy: 5/5
This isn't the strongest thermo that I've tried, but it is the cleanest-energy thermo for the strength. Even now, over a month into daily use, one cap will give me a pick-me-up. On an energy level alone, a single cap did the trick as my coffee substitute in the afternoons and in the early, early morning before going up in my deer stand. For those that want a big ole energy boost, two caps should be plenty.
Appetite suppression: 6/5
lol
Top-of-the-line appetite suppressant; no joke. I can't add much to this except that it is exceptional here. One or two caps, doesn't matter, I can go hours without feeling like I need anything to eat. Also, I don’t find myself starving when it wears off like other thermos can do.
Duration:
Hmm. Peak energy I’d say 3-4 hours, and peak appetite suppressant 4-6 hours. On the higher end if you take two caps instead of one.
SIDES-
Crash:
I have not noticed any crashes with Level II at all. Because I work out at 0330 I get a little tired around lunch time, but I always have. I could see a crash MAYBE if you’re used to limited-to-no caffeine on a regular basis, but the same could be said about any stimulant, really.
BM:
No changes in my BM.
Sleep:
Level II did not affect my sleep at all. I have taken them as late as 1530-1545 when bedtime is at 2100 and have had no issues sleeping. I probably could take a single capsule of Level II as late as 1700 (5pm) and have no issues.
Attitude:
Level II did not negatively affect my attitude. If anything it helped perk me up a little quicker.
Jitters:
With up to 2 caps at a time, and waiting at least 4 hours before dosing any more, I noticed no jitters.
Again, I am a caffeine junky. If coffee gives you jitters, then Level II might also. I’d equate 1 capsule is probably equal to a strong cup of coffee.
_______
Overall on the product:
5/5
I’m honestly trying to find a reason to give Level II capsules a 9/10 instead, but I can’t. It’s not too weak and it’s not too strong. It doesn’t give me any negative side affects. It suppresses my appetite SUPERBLY, even at one dose. That alone makes it economically effective.
If I could change one thing, it would have to be the color. I hate orange. Damn Gator colors…
I recommend Level II for anyone trying to cut that has any issues trying to limit their hunger, or anyone that wants a clean energy boost without a geekin’ effect.
SUCCESS!!!!
sooo happy you liked it so much dude! Thanks for the AWESOME and detailed log!
Thank for the opp, Swanks!
Todays cals will be 2,356, with 272/176/64 with 50g fibers.
I MAY have 3 Hershey kisses to push me over 2,400. If so, add 66 cals and 4.5g fat.
Yum!
