Lean FX or Slim Xtreme.

I'm at about 16% BF and want to finally get that six pack this summer. It's been a goal for too long. I've got my diet and workout ready to go. I'm not sure if you've heard of Lyle McDonald but I'm doing the Ultimate Diet 2.0 which includes specific workouts that go along with the diet to maximize benefits. Which product will help me get down to about 10 % BF over the Summer? Looking at Lean FX and Slim Xtreme but not sure which one to choose. Also, I'm not looking into using both at the same time.

Thanks. :thanks:
 
A bunch of people are going to come in and probably disagree with me, but I'd side for LeanFX. The anti-cortisol ingredient never ceases to lean me to shreds, and the appetite controlling effects seem to respond very well with me on this stuff.
 
If you want something that you feel and know is working, SX. If you want something that works yet you don't really feel it...Lean-FX. I personally also love Lean-FX, its just that most people have the if you don't feel it, it aint working mentality. Agree with everything Sinner said.

lol, you know better than to disagree and face the imminent response full of words in excess of 3 syllables.

SX is something you can definitely feel. Depending on how your diet is going, a stimulant can often be useful in maintaining energy levels. As glycogen stores begin to deplete, it becomes harder to maintain proper blood glucose levels, especiallly on a low-carb diet, ultimately leading to lower energy levels. SX, being the stimulant, is going to help this out for sure, as it increases the utilization rate of what little glycogen you have left. If going for about 10% bodyfat, I don't think you'll have to worry about low energy levels being too bad, unless you're a big-time candy eater (sugar withdrawals). But at 16%, I doubt you've putting down spaghetti and maple syrup like Will Ferrel's character in Elf.

In conclusion:
LeanFX: Great for appetite suppression and fatloss. More subtle. Easier to fall asleep. Cortisol can cause trouble in getting to sleep; naturally, anti-cortisol's make it easier to fall asleep at night.

SX: Also great for fatloss and appetite suppression. More noticeable effects (i.e. can "feel" it working). Very pronounced stimulant effect. While not overpowering, it works well and lasts for a long time.
 
Sinner threatened to post multi-syllabic words, and that drew me in... ;)

Just as another opinion, I think that it really does depend on your habits. If you're the type of person who was bigger and trying to slim down after breaking yourself of old overeating and low-activity habits, then I do believe SX would be the choice here. Coming from personal experience as a formerly much-chubbier guy, something that allows you to be awake and alert all day without fail as well as squash your appetite and prevent overeating will be the way to go.

If you are already disciplined and at a stage where you just feel the need to fine-tune everything, LFX may be the option that you haven't tried yet. That belly fat and cortisol are best buddies, and a cort product like LFX will definitely aid you to shed that extra bit.

Personally, and I know you weren't looking to do this, I'd say to stack 'em for a total package. Since they are each unique and work through different pathways, the pairing truly is the absolute best option.

:cheers:
 
Just ordered Lean FX yesterday along with Anabolic Xtreme. I was planning on using both at the same time, but might do Anabolic Xtreme first and then Lean FX. If you have any recommendations let me know. My only concern is getting shredded and I'm not too concerned about strength. I do want to have decent energy though. I also have some Purple Wraath and Green Bulge laying around and about 1 1/2 tubs of ON whey and bottles and bottles of vitamins and herbs haha.

Stats:
Age: 19
Height: 5'11
Weight: 185 @ 16%
Bench: 200 4x8
Squat: 300 3x8
Deadlift: 275 4x8

Thanks for the advice.
 
We need a limited-edition product simply named "Anabolic Xtreme". It'd just work out better that way.... ;)

Did you mean Slim Xtreme, 'looger? If that's the case, you can stack 'em or do either one first/last. All up to you... IF that's it, do only 1 SX in the morning and that's it. LeanFX is 3/day - 1 when you wake up, 1 4 hours later, and 1 around dinner time.

We're here if ya need us... :cheers:

Glad to hear your giving UD 2.0 a try- I did it about 2 years ago and it has been life changing, I have done about 8 cycles of 6-8 weeks with time off as recommended and seen great results!

I would recommend running the UD through w/out anything other than caffeine and lotsa water for your first couple times through- this way you can figure out what really works for your body, I know your probably thinking you need other "help" to get leaned out, but trust someone who has experience with UD- you won't need it in beginning...

Now that I am below 10% BF I have added in the "ECA" stack. Just search threads on the stack here and you will find out what you need to know for that. But anyone above 10% really don't need much when getting started...just be disciplined and eat clean and pray to make it to the "refeed" ...Good Luck!!
 
Wait dont people take Lean FX and Slim Xtreme together? The energy + cortisol lowering?


BUT, I just started taking Slim Xtreme the last week(after reading a bunch of T-AD's posts actually), and I think I'm gonna order a few more boxes and stash them away. This is a product that really does what it says, which is very, very rare in the supp. business! Man I love it! I'm wokring out like never before, then after my workout I come home and clean, do yard work, stuff that doesnt even need to be done! before taking SX, it would take my lazy ass 30 min. go decide i want to cut the grass. Today I came home right after my workout, cut the grass, edged, trimmed, then went to work. Full time job + full time student makes that kind of stuff hard, since every free moment I have I want to chill, or I did at least ;)

$$$

I'm guessing just a limited budget for supplement use.

Stacking the two is definitely an option, and it certainly takes care of more business. The only thing is that it costs more.
 
It wasn't all about money. I think Lean FX just seems better for my goals and I didn't really want any kind of stimulant. Slim Xtreme sounds like its acting in the same way a dopamine increasing substance like aderall would. I've taken provigil from the doc and it increases dopamine, which makes you want to do the same kind of things like clean. I'm not looking for that kind of boost because I enjoy being mellow as long as I have energy when I actually want to. I just want to get lean and am not looking for an energy boost. Still not sure if I should run Activate Xtreme and Lean FX concurrently though or Activate Xtreme, and then Lean FX. Can't wait until the bottles are in my hands though. :lick:

If you're on a script as you mentioned, SX would definitely be out of the question. I'd not recommend mixing supps and medications in general, really.

That being said, you sound like you're getting the desired "motivational" effects already. That's good! LeanFX may do you quite well in that case. As for stacking with ActX, you're call. You could run them together, or staggered, or separate. I'd stack, but then again, I'm like that anyway. ;)

Caffeine increases dopamine. The proteins in swiss cheese increase dopamine. Aspartame increases dopamine. The acts of concentration and focus (i.e. cleaning, studying, etc) are actually more akin to the metabolite of dopamine, norepinephrine.

I totally understand if you don't feel the need for a stimulant. AX and LeanFX should make for a nice stack. Best of luck to ya.
 
Damn, pretty much everything increases dopamine huh lol

Typically, if you enjoy it, if you trip balls, or both, dopamine tends to go up.

Coffee, Christmas Presents, getting an "A" on your report card, winning a sports event, watching your favorite team win a sporting event, etc.
 
Started Activate Xtreme this week. Adding Lean FX next week and then continuing both until gone. I'll put up my pictures, diet, and workout if I see good results.
 
Please do.

And if you are not please with your results, hit me up. I'll try my best to help you out, and we can try to work out a plan to get the results you want, and make fun of T-AD because that's always fun to do.
