trying a mini cycle of ripped freak

[j.solyon]

Well Tomorrow I decided im going to try a mini cycle of ripped freak just to see what it will do. I have heard good and bad about it so I figured I will try the 2 week cycle and see if there is any weight loss. I will weigh in tomorrow morning and keep a log of my workout and nutrition for the following 2 weeks and at the end do my weigh in and we will see what it does. I have been having troubles loosing some of the weight and have hit a long plateu I need to drop and cut out this weight so i can gain muscle its been a struggle I will as well have the measurements start and finish cycle, wish me luck!

[j.solyon]

Alright so this morning starts off. Height 5'11" weight 224.6lbs measurements are Neck: 18" Chest: 46" Biceps: 16" Fore Arm: 12.5" Stomach (around belly button): 44" Waist (around butt): 41" Thigh: 25" Calf: 15.5" Nutrition will be added in at the end of the day with a workout log. I will do new measurements and Weigh in at the 2 Week mark. Took the first ripped freak pill this morning with the correct amount of water so we will see how this goes.

i think it's great that you re trying to loss some fat but i would just like to point out that regardless of supps, your diet is 90% tied to your results. i could have one of my clients take 5 tablespoons of sugar a day and put them on a meal plan that makes them lose weight and tell them it's somekind of magic sugar that helped them lose fat. Anyway continue what you re doing and log your meals and we'll help you modify it for better results.

[j.solyon]

Thank you, I do really appreciate the feed back I have been adjusting my diet but perhaps at the end of two weeks there might be some suggestions of what I could change to achieve weight loss.

Alright so first day of ripped freak, I am not a very caffeine sensitive person so thankfully I didn't have the horrendous sick to your stomach feeling or anything like that but i see how this product could affect a caffeine sensitive person as the only thing it made me do was half hour each time after taking it made my body feel physically stressed out then boost of energy.

Protein? Definitely not enough. Food choices also need improvement.

[j.solyon]

Protein was just a shake.
I know the potato salad wasn't the best choice. For dinners I don't really have a choice I gotta have what I'm given at home.
What would you suggest for food choices? I agree some isn't the greatest and as far as protein goes should I up it to one more shake a day or some thing?

[j.solyon]

You'll do yourself a big favor if you try to make sure at EVERY meal and snack that it has a good source of protein. Chicken, eggs, lean steak, fish, lean turkey, protein powders and bars. Keep your carbohydrates down (cereals, breads, pastas, fruit, rice potatoes, anything with sugar) Replace them with vegetables. Just a suggestion to help.

[j.solyon]
