Hi everyone, just some feedback from my side picking up on what
mechka_grizli wrote about sleeping better.
This is true for me as well. I have had serious difficulties reaching and maintaining restorative sleep for almost 2 decades (not some self diagnosed issues here and there but sleep stage deterioration evidenced by polysomnography and EEG in-patient evaluation and treatments).
Since taking Brite I am falling asleep and staying asleep MUCH BETTER. I wear my Garmin Fenix 7S every night, which (in a rudimentary way) tracks my sleep stages, movement, respiration, O2 stats, temp, etc. (it's in my doctors' opinion quite accurate as far as non-medical equipment goes) and I can see a clear difference in my numbers there as well.
I do feel quite tired since taking them (generally) and especially after taking them.
I am increasing the dose, having started with 1 pill twice a day and now on 2 pills twice a day.
I am also not working out right now (only a bit of low intensity) since I have some back problems, which will be sorted in the next 2 weeks though.
I would be super grateful if some of you could address the following...
1.
When does Brite work best (Taken before workout. If so, how long? What type of workout? After workout? Taken before or with food. How long should I wait to eat? I have read the write-up and know that 3 and 3 is the recommended dosage but maybe dsade can let us know how the ingredients make it most potent it terms of timing.
I assume taking it with coffee (at the same time or after food) is not an issue because Brite isn't a stimulant.
2. For best fat loss results
What is the ideal supporting diet / lifestyle (How much should the caloric deficit be? I'm guessing ideally no or very limited carbohydrates (and no simple carbs)? With Brite it seems like supporting the body's transition from brown to beige fat cells requires closer monitoring of macros (more so than with DCP for instance). Is longer low intensity (4 hour hike) or high-intensity (20 min HIT) better?
On a seperate note, is there any update on when Defuse might be available again?
Other feedback I have for you
ironfiend23:
- I have no GI issues (on 2 pills on an empty stomach)
- I do get a very slight headache and a bit of blurred/darkened vision (goes away within an 1-2 hours after the dose)
- I don't crave sugar as much (rather salad and protein); I fill up a bit more quickly (but not bloated at all)
- I tend to be warmer at night (during my sleep) not so noticeable during the day (but I'm not working out r n)
- No cardiovascular issues
- I will only start measuring my progress once I'm on the full dose and doing at least a bit of exercise concurrently.
I love this forum/community -- thank you so much to all of you for sharing your thoughts, the support and help you provide to each other (and to newbies like me). I am not very knowledgable but learning about all this.
Thank you dsade for all your research, always providing answers and feedback and for your products -- I only trust your supplements because I fear there can be a lot of fraud and unsafe ingredients (or pills that simply don't do anything).
