Hi BMJ,

when are you going to post your research findings regarding the supplement you mentioned a couple of weeks ago in my thread about ALA?

Sorry for bugging you so much about this, but i am really interested in this topic

Thanks,

Millie



Below is a quote of your post in the ALA thread:

1. On a hypocaloric diet (when you are dieting with below maintenance calories), the carbs you ingest will basically be used to fill-up and repair the muscle cells first...before the fat cells. As long as you are not eating too ,many calories over your maintenance, then fat cells will be limited to these calories entering into the cells. Even though ALA will also increase receptors on the fat cells surface, if all the calories are being used for fuel and repair, then the same principle applies. AND, although these receptors will be increased by the administration of ALA.....a hypocaloric diet will also cause a deduction of these receptors on the fat cells while increasing the receptors on the muscle cells! So while ALA increases, the hypocaloric diet decreases the receptors to these fat cells. Where they average out, or which one has the greater effect, I don't have a clue However, I had a talk with cockdezl about a month or 2 ago regarding this topic, and I had a study showing that a certain supplement's effects on decreasing the expression of glucose transporter GLUT4 and glucose uptake by adipose cells may be of use in furthering fat burning. Cockdezl called it "interesting" and had a study showing that it actually increased muscle glycogen as well. It's a very cheap and legal supplement, and when I get done with school this semester, I am gonna try and dig some more info up...don't want to blow the horn too early and get everyones hopes up. The problem may be in dosing this supplement as you will see when I get done with some research. I'll keep you updated...don't let me forget! either!!!

LOL...I went back and read what I said, and it sounded like an ad for EAS or MuscleTech. Basically, it will not be a miracle supplement or anything, but rather something that "may" be of use if it can be used in a way without any adverse effects. The main reason I wanted ya to remind me was so that I didn't forget about it when school was out (my last 2 finals will be done by Thursday). Damn, I feel kind of bad now in making it sound so suspenseful...didn't really mean to do that. Oh well, i'll see what I can dig up in the next few weeks and maybe something good will come out of it. I'll share with everyone regardless of the results. Like I mentioned, I only had "1" study on this from what research I have seen on this compound. In other words, you won't be hearing me say something like "Man, this stuff feels like DNP!" BTW, I gave ya some KARMA.

Thanks a lot BMJ

Too bad I don't have enough posts to be able to give you Karma too... but I promise to keep that in mind and as soon as I can, you will be the first one to get Karma points from me

I am sorry if I am bugging you too much and if I ask too many questions. I recently (just this summer) got serious about exercise, training, clean and proper eating, and I am trying to educate myself as much as possible on the subject. I have found a lot of information, but I am more interested and more trusting of other people's personal experiences. Thanks for being patient with me and answering my questions, you have been a great help
