"Strict diet" could mean so many things. Would you elaborate?
Sure thing. By "strict diet" I mean a tight adherance to one's caloric and macronutrient goals. In other words, a "strict" diet, imo, would be one that doesn't deviate much more than ~50kcal or ~5% from your calorie and macro-ratio goals, respectively, (e.g. 2000kcal +/- 50kcals, 30/30/40 p/f/c +/- 5%).
In my opinion, one shouldn't even consider a fat burner until one has their diet dialed in to the aforementioned degree. Sure, it'll help, but to really see a difference, you need to know, fairly precisely, at what kcal # and, to a lesser extent, macro ratio, you lose weight at.
I have historically viewed fat burners as ~5% of the fat-burning equation, with 95% coming from diet. Ignit3 has somewhat changed this perception for me. I typically lose ~1lb per week when cutting at a ~500kcal deficit and my preferred macronutrient ratio. With Ignit3, I was losing 1.25-1.5lbs per week, and my abs came out much more quickly than I expected, indicating that a large portion of that weight loss was fat.
In short: Ignit3 will be a great addition to any diet, but I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone not tracking calories/macros fairly religiously. It sounds like you already are, so you're good to go there. My only other recommendation was, due to how well Ignit3 controls insulin sensitivity and thus, blood sugar levels, it may make one feel somewhat hypo if taken during a large fasting window such as those encountered during IF. Thus, while it may theoretically be even
more effective if taken during an IF diet, I would recommend starting with a traditional diet (with more frequent feeding) as you'll still see great results as long as you're strict with the cals/macros. Once you've assessed your tolerance and reaction to Ignit3 with this type of diet, then you can experiment with Ignit3 + IF.
I hope this helps clarify my thinking. Please let me know if you have any further questions! :thumbsup:
