I did... I dieted down with DNP... have used r-ALA to maintian. Works awesome.
I've kept my b/f low... no trouble at all... and the r-ALA lets me cheat like a mother f-cker.
Ask C-ditty and the rest that showed up for our West Coast gathering... they can all attest I swill beer and eat like a horse and still keep my six pack abs.
It will help you keep fat off no matter when you use it. It works much better with a low fat diet because the carbs it takes of but too much fat will, well, make you fat.
I tend to have a medium carbs and low fat diet after cutting cycle when I maintain my weight...this should help to stay cut (if I keep fat away) and help for a better absorption of the carbs by the muscles so that there would be less to no fat due to carbs absorption...that's it ??
