Ala For Cutting An To Minimaze Fat Storage

[rangerx83]

what quantity caps were you using? I might try your approach towards doseages but I want to get a little more background about this (health wise). Keep us updated.

I was using 3-4 300mg capsule with each meal. I used vitamin shoppe brand, but any will do. There is an issue of iron deficiency (and minerals in general) at that dosage. I take an iron pill/day as well as a multivitamin with minerals. There also a study that shows that extreme dosages of ALA interfere with biotin in rats. Whether this applies to humans is unknown. I don't intend to stay on this dosage forever.

The 600mg/day dosage is great for liver protection. ALA's insulin potentiating properties as well as nutrient partitioning effects don't become pronounced until much more is taken. It depends on what you're trying to achieve with ALA.

In my opinion. using ALA at the multi-gram level/day has anabolic effects, (nutrient partitioning, muscle sparing etc) similar to low strength steroids like primobolan. When combined at that dosage with juice, it really potentiates it, much like adding insulin to your cycle..

This is very interesting. I just ordered some ALA for liver protection but keep hearing other good things as well.

rangerx83 - Props to you bro for pushing the envelope and relaying the benefits of mega doses of ALA for dieting.

I'd like to see Fonz's input concerning the dosage you take

I'm doing 1200mg daily now and am thinking of incorporating
your scheme. Got 100 grams on order with beyond a century so I could try a month long test at 3 grams a day (90g).

Thanks SirWanksalot. It was really by accident. One morning, after low-carbing for several days I decided to take 1200mg of ALA along with my whey protein and 50gm of ultrafuel. Half an hour later I started feeling dizzy, light headed, nauseous and could barely stand up. I felt like I was going to pass out...

At first I thought that it was just because I was dieting, and that I was just hungry, and tried eating some meat, but I could barely lift the fork to my mouth! I decided to take in liquid foods, milk, with tons of sugar, etc. Sure enough the light headed-ness left within half an hour.

It was then that I realized that I had experienced a brief hypoglycemia bout, induced by the ALA dose combined with low carbing the days before. This was powerful stuff! I decided to use that dose with every meal (which included a good amount of carbs) to help push nutrients into muscle tissue. Soon after that I noticed my fat loss had accelerated.


I was already dieting, but when I introduced the 1gram+ per meal the fat loss really took off... I think that being in ketosis while eating carbs helped a lot..


I am already corresponding with Fonz, since I'm writing an article on this for AnabolicExtreme. Fonz agrees with the benefits of the large ALA doses, and was happy to hear from a fellow ALA enthusiast. We may be collaborating together on the article....

Regardless, I've asked him to glance at this thread to see what if anything he'd like to contribute...

So again, thank you.

I'm going to post on this thread, but first I have to
write a post on how ALA works because people
seem to think it's like insulin and will make you fat.
Which it definately WON'T.
I'll make it a sticky so that people read it.

nice read ... bump to the top!

 

[Fener]

well this sounds good. But what if your carb intake is not high (100mgs day) do you still suggest this dosage? And i thought you were suppuosed to take ala after meals, why take it before?
