I just tried it myself over the last 2.5wks, also combined with only half the normal training, and the results were better than expected. This product is excellent for preservation of muscle under catabolic conditions. I was also using a low dose of test trans, but I know what that does and the 3AD was definitely doing most of the work. I had no overt symptoms of low blood sugar beyond what would be normally encountered with such a diet and if anything was more energized.
