    Cleaning up my diet

    Thanks! I know there are small amounts of trans in a lot of stuff...even more the reason for me to try and eliminate it in an 'elective' food. Thanks again! -G

    Cleaning up my diet

    I agree and I will go back to eating unsalted peanuts. It's just that I don't understand how they can list transfat as 0g and sat fat as 3g which should make the other 14g mono or ploy unsat. I understand they don't have to list transfat, but how can they list it as 0 if it can't be...

    contribution of excess calories

    There is no simple answer to your question or we'd all be doing it. A lot of it has to do with what was mentioned above (protein synthesis to build more muscle=more lbm). Some of it has to do with partitioning. Some people are fortunate that more of their calories go towards building muscle...

    Cleaning up my diet

    I thought partially hydrogenated vegetable oil=transfat, correct? I bought the 'Carb Options' Skippy peanut spread (peanut butter) because it lists Transfat 0g (out of 17g of fat per serving size). How can this be right when partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is the 4th ingredient? Am I...

    Caffeine and L-Tyrosine

    Yes, that's it Techno! So I was wondering if max fat loss was with the stack pre-cardio on an empty stomach and the pre/post protein shake concept was for near max fat loss while keeping as much muscle as possible. Or perhaps that was because too many people were puking or passing out...

    Creatine on a cutting cycle?

    It sounds counter-intuitive, but would you use creatine on a cutting cycle to try and keep as much muscle as possible? :confused: Thanks!

    Caffeine and L-Tryosine

    I'm thinking about trying this stack while cutting as per Blade's article in HST FAQ for pre-cardio. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter? Good or bad experiences? Side effects of Tyrosine? Thanks! :)

    Zinc and Magnesium

    I don't know about anyone else, but I find it hard to believe that Boston could add 39lbs of lean muscle in a single off-season and drop his bf% from 10 to 6 at the same time (not gain any weight). On the one hand, they claim he was a relative newbie to working out compound moves (hard to...

    Caffeine and L-Tyrosine

    My question was which produced better results... A - caffeine/tryosine stack on empty stomach pre cardio or B - pre and post cardio protein shake Suggestions? Do you experience any negative side effects from the caffeine/tryosine stack? Thanks!

    Most of you aren't eating right

    You can't relate a diet for the general population to one for bodybuilders or serious fitness people. Atkins works for a lot of people because the high fat content makes them full so they cut down portion size (which is a big problem for a lot of people...just look at the portion size for any...

    low carb and low calorie

    DKM, those are awesome results! If you don't mind my asking, what was your plan(s)? Diet (calories/protein/carbs/fat), HST (?), cardio (every day? for how long?), any supplements? Did you cycle cutting and bulking or just cutting the whole time? Congrats again on all your hard work!!! You're...

    Caffeine and L-Tyrosine

    In one of Blade's posts in the HST FAQ forum, he suggests 200mg caffeine and 1-3g L-Tyrosine before cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. He also suggests later on a protein shake pre and post cardio (for max fat loss without losing fat?). Anyone try either of these concepts...

    low carb and low calorie

    Hey BigBen. I'm a relative newbie on this site so I'm sure others will have more advice for you. But here are some things to think about. If you cut that low, it's hard not to lose muscle along with fat. Most people will tell you a 1000 caloric drop from maintenance is the lowest you should go...

    EC stack questions

    Thanks! In reading through more of the FAQ and stuff, Blade has a post mentioning using caffeine (200mg) and L-Tyrosine (1-3g) before cardio and on an empty stomach. But in another thread he says to take a protein drink pre and post cardio (just like lifting). Is the first (CT stack) for...

    EC stack questions

    What are the risks for ephedrine use? I assume it was taken out of hydroxycut for a reason. Yes? And when they refer to an EC stack, how much ephedrine do you use? How much caffeine? Where's the best place to purchase this stuff (though I'm only in fact finding mode right now)? Thanks!
