I can try cornstarch, Its just amazing to me the consistency that a tiny bit of xanthun gum makes my protein shakes.. creamy like a milkshake. I just am curious how well it digests though..

What are the thoughts about Xanthan gum used as a thickener? I used it recently and am just concerned about its digestibility. Any other suggestions for a thickening agent?

I know we kave gone over fluctuations in weight before, but how long is a reasonable amount of time that I should see whether this extra 5 lbs is a weight fluctuation or actual WEIGHT gain?? AAggghhh... I feel a bit poochier around the lower abs as well. I just don;t know if its my mind playing...

Zma? What is that ? I think I may try the melatoini, I am still waking up consistently 2 hours after I go to bed, staying up for an hour then falling asleep for another 3. I'm just not able to sleep past 3 hours it seems which I eventually will need to, I'm sure..lol

Great feedback, trhank you all. There are Fantastic people here. I appreciate it. My diet is in check, with the exception, Ishould probably be eating more, if anything. It's the lack of a weight routine and too much cardio thats not building my muscle.

My carbs have been the same for awhile, they are about 50- 60 % of my daily intake. I workout in the morning, and stop any supplements before 5 pm. throught he day I may have a DECAF coffee or teo, but I try and limit my caffiene intake.

I want to get on a program or routine that will let me gain some muscle but stay lean. About how long should I allow myself and does anyone have any suggestions on what has worked for yourself or others? Thank you so much.

So, For the past 3 months I have not been able to sleep any longer than 4 shours straight. Every night I go to bed, get upe about 2 hours later and have insomnmia for about an hour. ( It's usually during this time I have a little bit of a protein based snack to help mne get back to bed)Then once...

:angel: Good Luck!!!

I'm a splenda user.. And I notice that when I use a ton of it, I get headaches. I think the ladies are right, test yourself and see what happens when you go off of it, so even switch to a different type of sweetener. I've heard of other sweeteners like stevia, and erythritol. I've tried...

Thank you so much for the great feedback for everyone. I feel alot better about the normality of fluctuations... It's good to know that among the awesome women here I can get the right feedback to go off of. I'll drink more water and spend a little less time on the scale. :)

Wow, Thank you Bunny and Daisy girl! I think I will try Cardio Breeze and a non stim thermo for a bit to give my receptors a break. I just worry about the break.. I don;t want to be dead tired with no energy. THAT would be bad.. Am I correct to think that receptors need a break from yohimbe?

OH.. thank heavens.. I'm glad to see that I too am "abnormally abnormal":qt: I know over the past few days my skin is breaking out pretty bad.. I've been trying to eat more protein than I have in awhile as well (Turkey) But I'm staying within my macros. I'm sure that I could be needing to...

Just making sure I'm not freaking out too much, but what is the average weight fluctuation that you ladies all experience? Over the past 3 days, I've gone up 3 pounds.. Is that normal?

Ladies; I've been reading that thermogenics are usually cycled. About how long do you all usually cycle them for? What supplements do you take in the "off" time? I have been taking lipo 6 for awhile and usually give myself a day a week off of it. I'm wanting to maintain the energy (and maybe...
