Thanks

You have to love definitive answers! Thanks!

So at what point do you start using them?

I usually start on Monday for a Sat show.

I like CLA. It is one of the few natural nutrient partitioning agents around. Its effects are not dramatic, but over time add up. ALA is a mixed bag for me...I think its great for those that eat a decent amount of carbs on their diet, but I diet on very low carbs. I do use it at my post workout meal though, as this meal has most of my carbs for the day.

I’m currently using ALA 3 x a day. My carbs are 40% of my diet.

I couldn’t decide if I wanted to drop it as my carbs dropped closer to show time.

Do you think it would be beneficial for a high carb meal during carb cycling?

Posted by: gopro

You can just lower your doses as you drop carbs. Yes, its good for a high carb meal during carb cycling.

Done correctly it can work incredibly well...done incorrectly it can backfire or even be dangerous.

I'm glad you did it right!
