No, no DM. I believe he signed his message, but forgot to actually type the message in.

I suppose you're right. I imagine it would have read:

Dear DaMayor,

Thanks for the compliment....I admire you as well....let's be friends.

Love,

Question for the avant gallery:

What possible negative effects, if any, would taking an ECA stack pose while using this Leptigen II product?

How about before use of the LGII? Would the ECA's effect on metabolism create any physiological hurdles, or otherwise decrease the effectiveness of the Laptigen?

In other words, I'm using a stack, but would gladly discontinue use if there is any chance of it interfering with the Leptigen.

Input Gentlemen?

Won't effect Leptigen no.

What stack are you using, and since when?

Ripped Fuel.

I've used it in the past, layed off for a while....but only to fuel my workouts. Now, since I am not trapped in an office all day, and work generally in private, I can afford to shake rattle and roll a bit.....not that it has that drastic of an effect on me.

(Some of the guys at the gym using similar 'stacks' remind me of Wylie Coyote after he swallowed the earthquake pills.)

Currently re-working the diet plan. Actually, I am creating a sort of standardized regimen/menu for the next month or so. Rather than putting together a basic meal and adding up the macros afterwards, only to find that I have eaten too little of one macro or too much of another, I plan on designing meal plans that are dead on my goal ratios.
Now, this is not to say that I have been entirely lax in my recent diet...because I have not. However, I would like to keep any dietary variables under control while using the Leptigen......which should be here within the next month or so.

Depends on your definition of six pack......Well, then again, the answer would be no either way.

Currently, I have an Ab. I figure, why be greedy when a single nice Ab will do?

Thanks for the encouragement, though.

If they did it would be a step up for me, actually.

True, I suppose.


Update:

Diet=unchanged, ~50/30/20 @ ~2285c/p/d (20% deficit)

W/O schedule=somewhat interupted due to business/work schedule......will tighten things up.

Leptigen II=still in processing.

While i don't always post after your every reply, i do try and read this regularly to keep updated, so at least make an effort to give a more detailed response, even if it's just one big post reflecting on the week --- mood, variables, changes, differences etc... State how much you've lost, how you look, how you feel, possible reasons for these manifestations etc...

Basically, just put some effort into keeping me sitting in your journal thread for more than four seconds will ya.

230lbs - i'm under the impression that this is continuing the trend of casual weight loss, correct?

Are you looking leaner than two weeks ago? Four weeks ago?

Also, considering you're 230lbs, your calories seem a tad low to me. Granted, if it's working and you feel fine then stick with it, but following the general rule of thumb*, your theoretical maintenance level is 3450kcals, so a 20% (690kcals) deficit would mean your intake should be 2760kcals. That means you're nearly 500kcals short of your target intake.

However, there are too many variables (metabolism, dietary duration, thyroid etc...) for that to be exact, so i'll not look much further into it.

You may as well get into full throttle description mode, cause when the LG arrives you're gonna have to give some good (objective) feedback.

* On a side note, you may find it interesting that the phrase "rule of thumb", derrives from either early in the last century, or late in the 1800's, whereby it was perfectly legal to beat your wife with any object providing it was no bigger than your thumb.

DM, I know this is your working journal, so to speak but you've been on my mind all day and I just wanted to see how you were doing and to say hey..............sooooooooooo HI



Each of us conceals an abyss, though few of us are aware of its existence, and even fewer dare to explore its vastness.

Hey Katie. Doing well, thanks! Stop by as often as you like, this little Leptigen journey should prove to be quite interesting.

Actually, my "hold your applause" comment was just thrown out there for the heck of it. I really don't feel that I'm owed any sort of response from anyone. Although, this is not to say that the responses I do recieve from those more deeply involved, or more knowledgeable than I, in the diet/suppliment game are always welcomed.

Okay, in reponse to your comment re: my apparentlycasual approach to weight loss.....Currently, I have perhaps offered less than detailed or what appear to be incomplete entries, and I can understand that this might be interpreted as a "casual" approach to dieting or training. Truth of the matter (no violin required) is that I recently lost my job, and as a result, have (naturally) been somewhat distracted in regards to training etc. since I have had to concentrate on alternate sources of income, and begin my own business.......again. All of which take a great deal of time and effort. But, it's really no sweat....I've been through much tougher times, and don't expect to experience a psychotic break due to this little trial.

Now, am I treating this casually? No. Not at all. Yet, I must admit that I have been a bit lax in my training during the past two weeks due to my work schedule, but this has since changed.

As far as the degree of specificity noted...or not noted here, this issue will also be taken care of. I've simply been holding off because of the ever changing Leptigen ETA....(Not intended to sound negative in any way)

Regarding my caloric intake. How'd you calculate my theoretical maintenence cals? I've always based maint. on 12cals per....Regardless, I believe that I am perhaps a 'victim of the variables'. I suspect a sluggish metabolism, but can only speculate on the other issues without bloodwork.....which might be an option when my finances level out. Yeah yeah.....wha wha wha.

Starting in the a.m., I will post meals again. We'll try to offer a bit more detail regarding the facters you've listed above, and possibly a few more. I may or may not go into specific detail about my training, (set for set) since this is really about dieting. Although I will include information describing the length, performance, affect, etc. during my workouts.

According to TP, we should be getting close to the Lep II delivery date. Again, I look forward to the LG II's arrival.

In anticipation of the Lep II's arrival, I went ahead and did a re-feed this weekend. Everything was relatively clean, with the exception of our venture to the Mexican restaurant, which was not. I haven't eaten Mexican in several months, so I'm not too guilt ridden about it.

Today's meals, specifically no.s one and two are slightly off the scheduling mark....hopefully we'll be able to correct this by day's e
