Dermaline (aka Cutting Gel) Works ... torched the fat off my abs

[Par Deus]

The active ingredient in Cutting Gel is aminophylline -- it is a xanthine derivative, like caffeine. This is not a particularly potent thermogenic in humans. The data showing otherwise is in rats at doses that would kill a human (at this dose it blocks adenosine receptors, which are a negative feedback mechanism for catecholamine induced thermogenesis).

Like caffeine, it IS a pretty good diuretic which accounts for the girth losses in the studies they site as well as in the people who use it.

I have written an article on the subject of topical fat burners -- in its present form, it plugs our product a decent bit so ignore that -- just look at the science (I will have the references added in a couple of days -- I will have a version without the plugs in a week -- it will be appearing in Anabolic Extreme).

I have this backwards. At normal doses it does block the adenosine receptor. It is phosphodiesterase inhibition that only occurs at unrealistic doses.

Still, it does not change the fact that this is quite similar to caffeine, which is not a great fat burner on its own.

As I said, aminophylline is a good diuretic. There are even a couple of studies showing a formulation like it cause girth losses. However, they did not measure whether any fat loss occurred. In addition, I believe in one of the studies, they measured girth again a month or two after stopping use and it had returned to what is was before. This would be indicative of a mere diuretic effect rarther than actual fat loss. With aminophylline, that would be expected. It is not a great lipolytic agent.

I've finished day 4 on cutting gel and I see an enormous difference.
I've lost weight, but not as much as other times that I've dieted, but my abs are flatter then ever.

 

[wynnyelle]

but the real question is, is any of it PERMANENT? does the fat come back on as soon as you stop? after all we don't want to be buying this shit the rest of our lives right?

 

[cyberflash]

Of course it is permanent if you keep on maintaining your exercise and diet .... because you have really lost fat ... not water..

But if you eat like a pig and do not exercise and sit on your ass ... no matter how much Gel you put ... you'll never lose the fat ...

Exactly guys. You can't think that once you've reached being ripped you're going to stay like that for the rest of your life without effort.

You must realise that when you're ripped, your abs show, and you are cutting, you are on a deficit of energy expenditure. You eat less than what you need, get up in the morning on an empty stomach, do your cardios, take your ECA. Well, you won't think that once you change all these conditions your body is going to stay the same isn'it? You start eating more, stop doing those morning cardios, and...your abs stay ripped? Well, not really. You can limit the return of fat, but you can't grow, be ripped and maybe eat what you like at the same time.

If your body privileges certain areas for storing fat. Of course is going to store it there as soon as you let your diet/excercise ratio go.

But Cutting Gel WORKS. Whatever some people here might want to say. And I've got the proof.
Last night I had a cheat meal at a restaurant, and I really went over the top. In the early evening 3h before the restaurant I had also put cutting gel, and so I had done for the past 4 days.
This morning I went to the mirror with that familiar sense of guilt and prepared to the worse, and SURPRISE, my lower abs were flatter than ever. MY GENERAL BODYFAT HAD RAISED, BUT IN THE SPECIFIC LOWER ABS AREA HAD DECREASED.
This is exactly what I needed. My bodyfat have always been extremely low. In the past 6 months The highest bodyfat levels I remember is 10.5%, the lowest 5%, generally in around 7.5%. But my lower abs were always soft and with that horrendous skinfold. I was always depressed in seeing friends with overall higher bodyfatl levels than me but with much better abs.

Now, whether is more fat or more water, well it doesn't really matter to me because it LOOKS GOOD. I started cutting on Tuesday and on Sunday (after even a cheat meal) I can already strip off in the park and wear so confortably those 28" waist 501 Levis I've got, that actually now fall down if I don't wear a belt. I've still got 2 weeks to go before my modelling pictures and I've been using it only for 5 days.

I LOVE CUTTING GEL

of course if you eat like a pig and sit around the fat will come back. i meant to ask that as long as the rest of your lifestyle (diet/exercise) remain constant, the fat lost from the cutting gel won't come back as magically as it stripped off.

I know about how restaurants can break the staunchest will. You can't go into a restaurant and eat just a SMALL meal...well at least I can't! I've found that salad bars help tho, if i fill up on veggies it's a great way to avert a total pigout.

My second day on cutting gel...no difference yet on the abs but I'll wait and see. i found a website on google search for 'cutting gel' when i was looking for real info on it, the site had an ad for it and below the ad were the actual clinical test results done for it with before/after photos. the results were not as dramatic as the product seems to claim, but from what I read the subjects did not diet or exercise or take any fat burners, and they STILL lost a little fat. Not bad!

Yes, restaurants are really my weak point as I like eating out. Then, I hate in particular those who have that 'good value for money' policy, where they give you to eat for three people for every portion. It might be good for the couch potato but not for a bodybuilder used to 6 small meals that arrives there after 6 days of strict dieting; you know that is your only cheat day and it feels hard to leave food in the plate.
