Very informative, thank you huggy!! I think he made a very good point at about the 5:00 minute mark that I was confused about which was to not bounce back up.

Right eye still a bit twitchy for 2 days now. Could it be due to Alcar or Thyrocaps? Have googled Alcar and found a minority did experience some eye twitching. Not experiencing any other symptoms than that. I'm taking 3 alcar/day and 3 thyrocaps/day. Should I cut back on dosages? Thoughts?

I can't multiquote right now for some reason... Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you I had military stuff today.
So I see that you cut back which should not give any sort of problems. Once you normalize to that dose I don't see a problem bumping back up!
I see that you took to Google to see if anyone else had experienced any sort of "eye twitching" side effects. Be careful with that you have NO idea who is on the other end of those posts and the fact that they are posting those "side effects' may just make yours seem more pronounced. I honestly think that it may just be like your bloat that surely enough dissipated with your relaxing of being overly aware.
Your eyes can twitch for quite a few different reasons that have nothing to do with the taking of ALCAR including dehydration etc. I'm not saying you're dehydrated but just giving an example. It may just be a case of something that would have happened normally but since you're ingesting a new substance you are being overly aware. It may not, and don't mistake this as me discrediting what you have experienced. Just my 2 cents. I think that within a few days at 2 caps you'll start to get used to taking something new, find that everything is A-OK and be ready for the bump right back up
PS eat a doughnut after working out NBD... Little treats here and there will keep you sane

You make a good point. I want this log to be as open and honest as possible and so I am taking notes as to how my body reacts. And it also never hurts to stay informed.
It started the 2nd day after I started taking the full dosages on top of getting little sleep that night, so there are definitely multiple factors at play. There may be other factors involved when it comes to other people but knowing that that might be a potential side effect makes me feel like I'm not so crazy. Hope that makes sense!DAY 5
Did some hill sprints this morning and damn it was fuggin cold!!! Could barely catch my breath on the way down but glad I got it out of the way. Dosed 2 Thyrocaps and 1 alcar ~30 min after my workout today. Did not feel a twitch upon waking, or during my workout, but after I dosed I can feel it a bit in my right eye again. Will keep Alcar to 1 pill today. Tomorrow I'm going to just take thyrocaps alone upon waking to see if I can isolate the issue.
Sidenote: Yesterday I took 1 alcar and 2 thyrocaps upon waking and another alcar pre-wo around 3 p.m. I decided to keep it at 2 alcar pills because my right eye was twitchy the entire afternoon. Night time comes around and I only take my 3rd thyrocap around 6 p.m. By that time my eye had stopped twitching and was fine for the duration of the night.

I've been structuring my diet like this for about the past week now. I guess it's kinda like carb back loading. I was doing it unconsciously I think, lol. Plus I get to break my fast with turkey sausage, eggs, and cheese!

DW, have you tried carb backloading? I've read bits and pieces on Kiefer's site and message boards but it seems to me it would be better suited for recomping than losing lots of weight.

Thought of a mini goal last night while I was laying in bed trying to sleep. My jean size right now is a 10 (them thick legs :02: ) and I can fit into them comfortably. I can fit into a size 8 but it's skin tight. At the end of this run I'd like to be able to fit into a size 8 comfortably.

I used carb back loading before it was "carb backloading" lol. I only used it when trying to add mass though, never while cutting.
Mine is a bit different from this traditional concept that's going on now. From the traditional aspect, I'm sure it would work if you get the calories right. With that, lays the problem, IMO. I would struggle with portion control so that's why I use it during my "off-season" so I can more liberal.

Gotta love those hill sprints!!!!! You do what you gotta do girly!
Setting the goal is the first step to accomplishment, right?! Lets get it!!!Thought of a mini goal last night while I was laying in bed trying to sleep.

I've decided to hold off on taking supps today. It's also my rest day thankfully cuz I feel burnt out. Holiday stress is getting to me and I haven't slept very much. Woke up this morning and my left eye was swollen so I applied a cold compress and took some ibuprofen for that. Will resume again tomorrow.

Absolutely DW!!! Fantastic advice!!!
Don't get down on yourself Kix, others will gladly do that for you. Take the goals of where you want to be, put those in your head instead of what you don't like and don't look back!!! Keep driving forward towards your goals, dig deep and let nothing stop you.
Stay consistent with your routine, nutrition and supplementation or you'll just be setting yourself up for disappointment. You got this no problem and when you crush these goals you'll have a sense of accomplishment. Take it day by day lady, we have faith in you

Hey thanks! Your words of encouragement mean a lot to me! I was looking at pictures from a few months ago and it really puts into perspective how far I've come along. Sometimes we are our own worst critic!

Your eye is swollen??? That doesn't sound too good
Holiday's are stressful and it's hard to stay on point with all the hustle and bustle going on. Hopefully you are rested up and ready to go tomorrow Ms Gokix!

DAY 6 [yesterday]
Dosed Alcar 3x. Didn't end up lifting but walked for a few hours around the mall for last minute shopping! Hadn't eaten all day and so dinner ended up being philly cheesesteak pizza from Domino's and Reese's PB mini cups.
DAY 7
Dosed 1 Thyrocap pre-wo today. Will wait a few hours before dosing Alcar. Feeling good and last night's dinner gave me a nice boost for my workout today! Today I am going to try and stick to a high protein diet and keep carbs on the lower end. Happy holidays everyone! Be safe!! <3!!

Its kinda hard to eat clean this time of year, starting at Thanksgiving until now. With all the leftovers, candy, etc. But I guess thats why New Years is the next holiday, so resolutions can be made. My resolution is starting next week before new years, to get back in the gym. I've been really slacking.

Hey Vdubz
Workout today was cardio with 25lb weighted bag in the a.m. and chest and back in the p.m. Finished that off with a short 15 min walk on the treadmill with 15 lb weighted bag. Inverted row reps went up so thats some improvement.
Ordered some new kicks and excited to go for a run when it arrives!gokix811

Seems like it is under control now. I think it started due to lack of sleep, holiday stress, and a less than stellar diet. Took the full dosage today for alcar and thyrocaps and feel OK so will repeat again tomorrow.
