Changing, how many daily calories are you taking in? Your calories may be too low right now and your body thinks you're starving it.

A bottle of TriMax: $32
Losing fat with ZERO cardio : priceless.
I'm on the same boat as you in terms of not wanting to be "the big guy", but I totally agree with Maynard & notbigenuf here : you have to eat to lose fat. "practically not eating" will worsen your results.

As far as bromo, I've always thought the mind is by far the hardest part of dieting. If bromo can help to that point, then it could be yet another valuable tool. I respect every word that Lyle McDonald says as well... very knowledgeable man.

Changing... its pretty well out there on the boards that I am still in a recovery stage of anorexia, and I know i will never totally be able to get my body image to be that of what my body actually looks like... but i will tell you something for nothing... having to be carried out, sent to the hospital, and banned from my gym because i passed out on a the jacob's ladder was the most horrible and life changing thing i have ever gone through.... i started out to do what you are doing... the "lance armstrong" approach.. lose everything.. ctrl alt delete my body and rebuild it.... it did work.. i wont lie to you.. but only because i have had years of mental and emotional help... SAVE yourself from the depression, bouts of ED, the rejection from your friends and family, the personal and social disconnect $$$ in Doctor bills because your insurance wont cover 85% of what you need..... and EAT PROTEIN! lol
honestly.. looking back on it.. if i knew then what I know now.. i would have gotten better results if I kept my protein intake at 2 grams per pounds and just cut on everything else...

I thought the TriMax kicked in fast but it turns out it was just hot out here. lol Dumbass. Nothing yet but this is day 2. I was just really excited. I dedicated my days to lifting early in the morning and doing 6 days of cardio (spinning class) at night.
I changed my idea of how to take the Trimax going with a 1/day for 3 days, 2/day for 6 days, 3/day for 3 days, 2/day for 6 days and finally 1/day for 3 days (21 total days). Any feedback from those who have tried this type of pyramid?
I've got 8% body fat I'm trying to lose. About 15lbs or so. I'm eating every 3 hours (no carbs after 3pm) Turkey, eggs, oatmeal, tuna. Pretty boring but I hope it pays off. 3 weeks of **** for the glory, right?
Hey Changing don't trip, the ladies like cut up, but big guys hate male models- so be in between! lol.

So whats your diet like in numbers? How many cals you taking in total a day with carbs etc. In august i'm going to be doing a superdrol cycle and doing cardio with about 2000 cals so i think august is where i will get to where i want.. 2 MONTHS to CUT I'm at 14-15% i can get down to 10% by then!revndsin said:

I don't even count the cals man. I probably should but for the most part I know what's bad and what's good. If I'm still hungry then it's a good thing, right? 5-6 meals a day is good if you keep the ratio right. The cals work themselves out, it's the portions and the ratio, I think, that do the trick. I don't like to mind **** myself anymore than I already do. lol.

If your looking to get down to low BF's you'll need to count those cals. I thought I could get away without counting also until I stalled out and didnt know why. You'll be surprised how fast the cals add up. I was a couple 100 over what I should have been and didnt even know it. Not saying count everyday, but do it a couple times a week so you know where your at.

and also, remember, if you lose 15 lbs on trimax, you're 15 lbs lighter, so your caloric needs have went down significantly. i know it sounds stupid to say that, but some people forget that you know...

How low are you talking? you should be around 400-500 below maintenance to start. Remember if you go too low, your body will shut down the fat loss and hold onto everything for dear life thinking its starving. You need to keep that metabolism stoked with 5-6 small meals a day. Give us your weight and BF% and we can help ya out.

Changing said:
Ok here's what I would do for myself if I were at those numbers. You didn't give me your BF% but I'll assume it's higher than you want it to be. Your maintenance cal amount is around 2800. I would start out at 2300 cals at a ratio of 40/40/20. (p/c/f). Remember, you always want to start high with your cals and work your way down. If you start too low, then you have nowhere to go if you stall out and you'll end up killing your metabolism.
Mealwise, the more the better. I would never have the time to get 10 meals in so I eat 5 a day. Each of my meals is around 330 cals. I would suggest for you, 6 meals of 380 cals. If you dont like eating that much, than go for 7 at 330.
Monitor your weight and BF % weekly so you can adjust your cals if need be. Just keep in mind that not eating anything isnt the best way to drop BF. You need to eat to lose.
Make sure your taking in complex carbs and no sugary crap. Eat lots of lean meat, chicken, and fish. Get some good fats in there also. (flax, fish oil, etc.) Good luck...

Hey Scott,
I remember you saying something like "Thank god mine seems to be bouncing back nicely" (talking about your thyroid). Did you have tests done? If not, what are the symptoms of the thyroid rebounding?
Asking this because I ended my Trimax cycle a week ago, and these last two days I had to visit the bathroom more often even though diet is the same.

Who says drugs are bad? I'm down 18 lbs in 3 weeks. Was near a 35 waist... you know, wore 34s but were tight. Now I'm easily into my 34s, some are loose. Lovin it. Arms are even more defined, legs are tight. I still have some back and gut fat remaining and that will disappear damnit.
I'm eager to be done and be really leaned out. I'm also eager to get through PCT and hope my thyroid rebounds fast. Lifts are the same, gains in a few places, so muscle loss seems to be at a minimum, though I'm sure there is some. Don't look as full though, but that's to be expected.
Anyone looking to use Trimax, I'd highly suggest Max LMG stacked with it. I truly support ALRI products to the fullest and this one has been no different.

I started to count my daily cals and got spooked! Here they are:
1 package of ground turkey- 150 cals
3 tablespoons of peanut butter- 300 cals
1 can of albacore tuna- 70 cals
2 tablespoons of salsa- 30 cals
3 table spoons of non fat cottage cheese- ?
W/ a little rasin bran- ?
I might have some fruit or a little bread but this is pretty much it.
I'm scoring some protein this Monday so that should help in the cals. I am at 17% BF and looking to lose about 15lbs or more accurately lose 8% BF. I'm on a 3 week cycle (day 4) and am gonna pyramid up to 3caps/day for 3 days. what do you guys think?

You'll lose that 15 you want to on Trimax in month I think, with some cardio and a strong diet. I think you'll need to add more cals though man. Don't go too low so your body starts figuring out you're dieting. That's a NO NO!

This is the plan: 1 cap/day for 3 days, then 2 caps/day for 6 days, 3 caps/day for 3 days, then down to 2 caps/day for 6 days, finally 1 cap/day for 3 days. I figure that is a good coast, nothing too crazy. I take the first at 6a then lift at 7a, work all day then take another cap at 6p and go to a spinning class for an hour. I'll spin for 6/days a week. That seems like a pretty good routine. The worry I have is whether or not I'll crash later. Am I feeding my muscles enough? I eat every 3 hours and don't feel deprived but then again, it's only day 4. So I'm trying to keep perspective and not be stupid.

yeah I had no probs with mine coming back. You have to make sure to up your cals slightly when you go into PCT. This will get your thyroid back in action. Of course make sure your eating extremely clean to avoid a rebound. I was taking Guggals also, not sure whether they helped or not.

do some searches regarding trimax... it is not as scary as some claim it to be..
and the man with the non-cone on the arm on his avatar is correct... so in that aspect plese look into cAMPHOBOLIC by USP for a post cycle

if you look
if you look at the post by SS ,he was up to 3 pills a day and ran it for 4 weeks? and for pct did nothing his blood test showed his thyroid was starting to recover after 9 days.Also another post in this thread shows a study that states that your body stores both t3 t4 just for this reason:rant:

I'm not scared, but messing with the thyroid does scare me a bit. Some of those substances listed (guggul, tyrosine, etc) to help thyroid function. I'd think taking them certainly could have some benefit, don't you think?

Hey scull: I'm on day 9 of my trimax and getting really weird feelings in my throat and all over my body in general. Is this just part of the ride or is there something bad brewing? I did 1 cap/day for 3 days then went up to 2 caps/day until today and now I'm not sure I want to pop that 2nd cap tonite. I feel really weird, thought maybe I wasn't drinking enough water. Woke up at 4am this morning and hurt all over, dropped advil and was ok until an hour ago. Dropped some aspirin and then dropped my cap for the day.. I don't know if this is just the ride or what. I remember my first M1T cycle and I thought my heart was gonna pop out of my chest. Is this just the TriMax working its way into the bloodstream?
revndsin
New member
Funny you should ask...
So yeah I was on MD1T which is M1T and Andro 3/day and now have dropped down to 1/day for the next few days to cycle down and already feel a BIG difference. The TriMax isn't giiving me the crazy blow out I was expecting after reading everyones posts but maybe that is just me. I'm under 1000 cals/day but like I said I don't feel deprived. I'm thinking of boosting my cals a little but not really sure. I've lost 5lbs in the first week, maybe this stuff really kicks in after the first week??? Not sure, any guidance is appreciated!skull said:

Are you saying that you're unhappy with losing 5 lbs in the first week? That's amazing and you should definately be happy with that. UP YOUR CALORIES TOO! I don't think it'll hurt at all.
revndsin
New member
I think I'm not that happy because I lift in the morning and then at night I go to a spinning class for an hour. That is a lot of work on top of the TriMax so I guess maybe I was expecting more. Up the cals? I want to but am not sure where to bring them up. I was thinking carbs and more fat. Just to even this diet out. Check earlier in the thread and see what I'm eating. lol. Turkey like it's cool, man!not_big_enuf said:

I'm just afraid you're starving yourself and your body might go into starvation mode. that's not good for dieting... you can do TOO much you know. 5 lbs a week is an incredible amount. are you only on 1 cap per day? if not, how long have you been at 2 caps? just keep doing the cardio and do a 40/40/20 diet and you'll be fine. lots of chicken/turkey/rice/salad/sweet potatoes, whatever, just keep it healthy. get enough cardio, eat enough and you'll lose the weight on trimax. i don't think you can expect to lose more than 5-7 lbs per week realisticly. my god, 2 lbs a week on a normal diet is a great success. granted you're surely losing some muscle, but it's obvious that it doesn't matter and you're set on losing whatever you can.
if you cut your calories too low, your body will do everything it can to fight it... don't get to that point. i'd be at 1500 cals for sure.

You don't think Trimax works? How did I then lose 18 lbs in 3 weeks just eating 500 cals below maintenance? You mean it didn't work for you, right?
I think you can easily get to 10% in 6 weeks. Where are you now? It's hard to tell as sometimes total BF is different than just one area. For instance, I'm 13% and I have zero abs, not even close, yet my arms/legs are ripped. I hold all of my fat on my stomach/back.
Were these before/after pics?
