Need2slin with keto

[jonathandd23]

Been on the keto now for 5 weeks lost approx 12 lbs or so, loss is starting to slow down. so i started researching and i found lots of great reviews of Need2slin. claimed to help move carbs fats and proteins to the muscle quickly rather then being stored as potential fat. Thing is since I'm doing the keto, will this benefit me? or will the benefits be so subtle that its not worth it. I also read in the MD mag today that Yohimibine HCL is a great fat loss supplement that binds to the fat receptors?

Someone mention helios was a good and safe alternative?

Curious to know if i should play around with this stuff

** my goal currently is to get lean for when i travel europe in late august, I'm estimating I'm currently 13% BF looking to get to 9% ish

you don't need slin, or any stimulants. all you need to do is change the variables by increasing cardio, decreasing fats, etc

Insulin slows if not halts fat loss...it is the opposite of glucagon. Stimulants will raise cortisol..ie muscle loss...if you are not losing 1-2lbs weekly on keto you are not dieting correctly.

ok well my diet goes like this

7am - 50g whey, 1tbl PB i also have the 5 eggs/4 egg whites and usually have each 1 equally.
10am 50g whey, 1tbl PB
12:30pm - 1 chicken breast (approx 8oz) 1/3 almond
3:00pm - 50g whey, 1tbl PB
6:00pm - Either Fish, or chicken, and about 10 pickled asparagus sticks/baby cucumber
9:00pm(post workout) - 4 eggs/4egg whites or another 50g whey, 1tbl PB

*With every meal i have at least 1 sometimes 2 - 700ml sugar free tang drink, sweetened with aspartame

*Every sunday was my cheat meal, and i would go to ihop in the morning and have a stack of pancakes with blueberries or cinnamon. I only cheat once first thing, this way i would only have 4 more meals such as chicken/protein shakes.

been doing this for 4 weeks and lost 12 lbs approx. the 1 thing that i noticed most, and was most pleased with, was my stomach size, it literally shrunk like 5 inches. my waist has never been so small ..32" was tight, real tight, now i have to use a belt. ( i even had to punch new holes in my belt because it was to loose :) )

Too much fat in meals 1 and 6, 1 chicken breast is not 8 oz...protein should be weighed cooked on a food scale and should be 7 oz. Cheat meal is better off at night...so you can get on your other meals.

Cardio(walking) should be done daily as well.

ok ill take out the PB in my shakes and drop the eggs for more egg whites. i was doing 15 mins walking at like a 3.5 speed (heart rate was around 110)

Thanks for your input, gonna give this a whirl

[Praetorian]

Meal 1,6 should be 4 whole eggs and 4-6 whites...drop the PB.

hey, so i just wanted to thank you prae for all your help, and others as well, i dropped PB in all shakes and all nuts, so currently my meals are the following:

7am - 3 eggs/6 egg whites or 50g protein whey shake in water/stevia
10am 50g whey w/ water and stevia /pinch of salt
12:30 - 1 Chicken breast w/ 5-8 asparagus sticks or pickles
3:00pm - 50g whey w/ water and stevia / pinch of salt
5:30/6pm - Being trying to keep beef out just because I've been seeing good results ( 1 chicken breast or salmon fillet) w/ 5-8 asparagus sticks

Gym from around 7:30pm till approx 9pm

9pm PWO- 50g Whey w/ water/stevia / pinch of salt

* so far I've lost another 3-5 lbs, but these have been crucial lbs, the lbs that make my chest pop out and have the rigdes underneath the pec kinda thing. I am really really pleased and its only been 2 weeks since i went off for 1 week while in a hockey tournament (carbed up all day everyday for the tourney)

On another note, I've been drinking around 2 gallons of water a day, w/ Mio flavouring (sucralose). I have about 1.4L every meal. Ive also been adding salt to my foods (i read up salt would be of help??)

Im just so pleased with my results, love looking in the mirror to see my new losses/gains :D

Cheers!
