why not make this a sticky?

 

[clubhead]

so what is ideal in regards to using R-ala, GLA and CLA....what amount per meal...i have read that with every 25-40g of carbs 100mg of r-ala is key....

if i have a meal consisting of say 40g carbs, 50g protien and 10 grams fat...i should take at least 100mg r-ala (what gram of GLA and CLA should i take for this trifecta to be most effective???

i really want to utilize this combo for ideal fat loss....

thanks in advance...

100mg r-ala per meal
gla 800 to 1200mg per day
cla 3-6g per day (though am on the fence on this one, for efficacy)

ok...sorry to keep asking this, but is it ideal to take GLA and CLA in the same meal as R-ala????

i usually eat 6 meals a day...2 of those meals i usually include some flax seed oil as a fat source...i am limiting carb intake now....just want to get the best benefits from this combo.

just take the gla and cla spread throughout the day..

there is not "ultra" optimal dosing times.. with fatty acids effects on insulin sensitivity.. the action, at least seems, less related to time of intake.

is this worth trying even on a very low carb diet??....i am only eating carbs --small amount pre-workout, simple carbs post and then a meal with protien and carbs (no fat, just in case of slin) 1 1/2 hours after post workout....

the CLA/GLA/r-ala combo is it better for regular diets with higher amounts of carbs???


sorry for so many questions on this subject..

I seem to retain alot of sub q water quickly after stopping r-ala for a few days.

1. how long ago?
2. when was the last time you ate?
3. how old are you?
4. Gear?
5. bodyfat?

in the absence of ANY insulin the effect may be minimal.. ie the reason that ala and r-ala cannot be used to "cure" type 1 diabetes.
