[sawastea]

100mg R+ for every 30-40g CHO
300mg ALA for every 30-40g CHO

I use R+/ALA for the glucose disposal. I incorporate them both in my daily diet, in the prescence of carbs

 

[EL GAUCHO]

My only CHO meals are breakfast, lunch and post workout: so thats around 4x 100mg caps a day.
At the moment I avoid carbs in the evening.
A few questions for you Sawastea:
1) What is your take on the carbs avoidance in the pm theory.
2) Can I re-introduce carbs in the evening if I take r-ALA with it?
3) I hear post-workout ALA supplementation is a waste as insulin sensitivity is already high. This true?

^^^^Curious to know if there is any truth to what you said about taking ALA post-workout because I have been taking R-ALA with my PW shake and have been seeing good results and I recently just bought 200mg pills of ALA cause I ran out of my R-ALA

 

[Bodhi_78]

i take 200mg r-ala for every other meal i eat. i eat 8 meals a day, so thats 4x200mg = 800mg a day. been doing it for a little under a week now.

try 100mg 45min before workout with an apple
you will get a great pump

1) I don't agree with it. In practice, what will determine weight loss/gain is calories in vs calories out. Of course there are factors involved here like genetics, the types of foods you eat, overall health, exercise, etc. But in general, if you're eating low GI carbs in the p.m., you'll be in MUCH better shape then if you eat a baked potato with white rice

2) Yes, again I would watch the types of carbs you'll be eating. Try to stick with brown rice/basmati, yams, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, etc. You can take R+ with these meals

3) Debatable subject. Some people opt not to take ALA/R+ PWO since your body NEEDS the fuel, but R+, IMO, can help it shuttle [the carbs] faster and more efficiently into its muscle cells

By no means am I an R+ expert, this is just from readings as well as experience.

 

[Distortion]

i usually take 2 with lunch and 3 with dinner. I've noticed slight results

This has more validity for me than what the supps companies tell me.
