Anabeta elite not delivering?

[AverageDude]

Hi all,

I am in my fourth week of supplementing with ABE for strength and recomp purposes.
I am eating at maintenance on off days and ~200cal above on lifting days (mostly clean). I lift 4 days per week.

Much to my dismay, I have noticed an increase in body fat (skin folds) around the supra iliac and lower back region. I have not changed anything else about my diet/training these last 4 weeks.

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this when taking ABE (could it be affecting insulin sensitivity? ), and I would greatly appreciate any tips/advice anyone has to offer to rectify this.

Cheers

I have literally never heard of this happening and I'm not saying that because I'm a rep. Two of the ingredients in ABE have human data demonstrating fat loss. The only thing I can think of is that you may be retaining more water (those are common sites of water retention) which give the illusion of a nice thick layer of grabbable fat. But as for the activity of the compounds themselves, increased LBM and reduced fat mass should be at play, at least in the background.

Thanks for the feedback. That's probably all it is and I'm over reacting... cheers

Could be increased water weight cause you're eating more carbs than usual (I assume?)

Thanks for your input- yeah tbh I have been more liberal with carb intake since appetite is up. Might get onto some dandelion tea or other mild diuretic...
