I am just starting week 4 of the XI-KT and I'm a little unimpressed so far. It is supposed to be way more powerful than 11-Oxo, but we will see. It has had some effect, but nothing major. Keep in mind though, I am at about 40% bodyfat, so....who knows.
First 2 weeks I ran 1 ML/day - applied in the morning. For the last week I have been doing 2 ML/day, applied 1 ML in the morning and 1 ML at night.
I am also taking 3 thyrovex caps each day.
I hadn't lost any weight at all until two weeks in, then I dropped about 3 pounds in about 2 days. I went from 244 to 241. Now I am consistently 241-242 and no changes. My pants aren't getting any looser. My waist has not gone down more than maybe 1/4" if I am optimistic.
About the start of week 3 I really cleaned up my diet - from being lax to being somewhat structured:
5 Egg whites, 1 whole egg and 2 oz. of chicken in the morning.
6 oz. broccoli and 4 oz. cooked chicken next meal.
Half a bag of Baby Spinach and 4 oz. cooked chicken next meal.
2 Greek Yogurts (plain) with splenda.
Something healthy and under 800 calories for dinner - usually more chicken but I am flexible with the final meal.
I've been taking in about 2,000 calories/day, maybe 2,200 calories tops, and on workout days I add in about 300 calories more between pepto-pro and protein shakes around my workout.
The results so far are similar to maybe 600 mg of 11-oxo, at best, IMO. Still impressive, since I'm taking less than 1/3 the dose, but I expected a little more.
Maybe after a couple more weeks I will feel differently. I will be running it for almost 9 weeks, with the last 4 weeks being at 3 ML/day.
What I HAVE noticed:
1. Sleep quality has improved. I fall asleep faster and deeper while I'm on this, but it still isn't quite as good a sleep aid as Alphamax.
2. I really feel like my recovery time has improved greatly - especially after I cleaned up my diet, but even before that.
3. I have been pretty stagnant in the gym for a couple of months. I made some changes about 5 weeks ago and I've been crawling forward, but I am seeing a little more consistency in my progress now. Nothing great, but I'm consistently adding about 1 rep to each exercise/week. Before, it was more hit or miss.
4. Vasularity - I'm fat, so I don't have veins, but I can actually see some of my larger veins and feel them over the past 2 weeks, and I think the XI-KT has definitely caused this.
5. Some mood enhancement after application.
6. My scale said I was around 42% pretty consistently before and may have dropped to 39% if I weight myself after getting out of the shower. Now it says I am anywhere between 36-42% with 40% being about the most prevalent reading. So despite the tape measure and weight not dropping, maybe I am losing fat somewhere and just don't see it (like taking a cup of water out of the ocean?)
I still have high hopes for this, especially based on the logs. I'm feeling that my higher bodyfat percentage may be making it hard to see the changes, but I was hoping to have some measurement changes and some more noticeable leaning. I am, however, gaining strength at a slow rate while in a small caloric deficit (when most people would be happy to just not lose strength).
