inasnest dosage of r-ALA used on ~4000 cal diet w/ moderate carbs

[WARBIRDWS6]

wondering what high doses some have used on 4K or so diets with a decent amount of carbs to ward off fat accumulation. i figure ALA is the best way to eat more and not gain fat.....but also don't want to waste money taking in too much. so looking for upper limit dosages.

I know people using 1000mg/day. I know Fonz uses more. But I don't think you need to use more than 6-800mg as a daily max.

yeah, i'm trying 1000mg i think. i am paranoid over the fat gain back thing. i'll be on plenty of anabolics that tend towards fat loss (EQ/Tren....even sust) and was looking into the natural route as well. r-ALA was the first thing that came to mind as well as the usual flax/EPO/CLA fats. didn't want to use clen or stimulants due to appetite decrease. is plain old white rice actually a decent carb? i can chow on that at work anytime i want....and of course would chase it with r-ALA...wasn't sure how good of a carb it was though.

I took 2000mg at once to see what would happen... didn't bother me at all. I regularly take 1200-2000 per day.

I've found, though, that I can get away with 1000 per day easily and don't really need more.

I take 500 mg. a day (I know not a very high dose) but I take in over 500 g. of carbs a day minimum and still stay at 7-8% bf

yeah, if you can get away with 10 caps why take more? gets pricey then. so that is good news that 10-12 caps yields similar resulsts to 20 caps. AF need to get on paypal BTW speaking of us two here who likey paypal. lol.

Your better off with brown rice, its a lower glycemic carb.

i find carbs to be....lets just say...problematic for me. lol. my arms and back and a few other parts of my body are that low in BF% looking...but the lower abs seem to be in a BF% of their own.

Yep. I agree on the upper end of the spectrum. 2000mg r-ala
for mega carb days.

Any more is a waste. 3000mg r-ala/day vs 2000mg r-ala
yields comparable results.

If carbs are kept in relative check(1g/lb), r-ala dosage need not exceed 1000mg/day depending on your insulin sensitivity.

What he said. And I never thought I'd agree with Fonz on any dosage of anything, including water

On cheat day I take about 700mg just with my Papa Johns. I also take 400mg with my post-workout shake of ca. 80g CHO. HOWEVER, I'm not prone to hypoglycemia. When I have zero carbs I take 100mg with a protein/fat shake because I've found it keeps me in ketosis, even if I'm not on a ketogenic diet. I know it makes no sense but it works for me.

I got in the habit of double dosing for cheat meals. I'd take 400mg before a meal... then 300mg 45-60 minutes later. It seems to work great.
