Correct Usage Of Ala

[Babyfaced Assassin]

El Guacho, i've noticed that taking 1-2 caps per meal does the trick for me. I've some how managed to increase my carbs a bit and get quite cut up like this.

I've increased my carbage to about 150-200g a day and I feel ALA is helping alot

I honestly cant afford to eat 2-4 caps per carb meal and it gives me terrible indigestion if i have 2+ caps

Hi,
Can you please remind me what the best way to use Alpha Lipoic Acid for fat loss?
I know to take ALA before carbohydrate containing meals. But I don't remember how much to use for the amount of carbs ingested.
I have 500mg caps.

THe proper use of ALA is to not use it al all and spend your money on something else.

Lumberg: not a big fan of the ol' ALA then?

 

[Lumberg]

hell no all it did was make me tired and make my piss smell bad.

I tried both the racemic and the R-.

I had the most expensive piss on my block for a few weeks but other than that nada.

I think my body disposes of carbs very well as it is though. I have been tested as hypoglycemic.

lumberg that's interesting. I find my energy is good with ALA

 

[EL GAUCHO]

Me too: no energy dips at all.
If you're hypo then I can understand it affecting you the way it did.
Your circulating blood sugar was prob low already!

I, along w/ some other people, reported that ALA made us gain weight, especially in the abdominal area.

 

[EL GAUCHO]

Gain weight? No way. Big bummer. Maybe you all increased your carb intake too much thinking it wouldn't affect body composition?
