Cool with me.

I believe Gopro asked a similar question in the "LeptiGen Hath Arrived" thread......According to Tkarrde, it should be okay with protein drinks.

Try it and see. But when dieting leptigen is best used BETWEEN meals, as this is when leptigen singaling is lowest.

I tried mixing 2tbls with 10 fl oz of Isopure RTD Alpine Punch and it foamed up so much I couldn't drink it!!!

How do you mix yours? Do you jest stir it in and drink the clumps of stuff that didn't dissolve???

Yep, that is pretty much par for the course. I usually add the Lep first, then the crystal light, or whatever, and then stir it slowly for a good minute or so. You will still have a few "floaters", but they aren't that bad.
I usually just tip it back like a shot of whiskey anyway.....

I've only tried it in a drink... Fade says it's a salty sour taste and he might down 1 tbls but any more then that he'd definitely put it in a drink.

Why would anyone use more than a single TBSP at a time?

I totally mis-read the label... it says 2 tbls per DAY

So I should be splitting up the amount into 3rds huh?

Decide your daily dosage. Take 1 TBSP at a time. Between meals.

Use the label as a starting point; inrease dosage the further below your set-point you are.

Hey dude, how's the shoulder?


Oh, and um, could you elaborate on the concept of "set point" (again)? I'm a little rusty on this topic.

Okay, well, nevermind the set-point thing.....we'll work around it.


Quick Notes......

This weekend's meals have been on track, with the exception of the sandwich I ate yesterday.....completely by accident, of course. Actually, I have been very diciplined in weeks past, so this "slip up" shouldn't be a big deal. (chicken salad w/ light mayo on whole wheat.....whoopie)

No headaches for the past couple of days...this is a welcomed change. I've held off on weighing in, we'll do that at the gym tomorrow. I feel more tone, and my appearance has changed slightly....less in the ab region, but we'll verify any wieght loss tomorrow.

I hope everyone has enjoyed DaMayor's Journal O' daily food intake and LeptiGen II doseage thus far.

As expected, I am brimming with enthusiasm.....especially today.

How's about that tweak, TP?

DaMayor with going so low on the calories how do you find your energy levels during your workouts? I find with myself if I start going to far below the 2500 cal mark that I have very little energy during my workouts.

I haven't noticed a huge difference in energy levels at 1800 kcals. (Now, when I deplete carbs, that's a different story.) This may change since I plan on upping my "cardio" this week......or should I say, "adding cardio".

I've been wondering about the proper doseage of Lep II....just in general. Question is, is it possible to take too much?
My concern lies mainly with those at or exceeding 20%BF.
In other words, normally, (in very general terms) the body sends any "surplus" to fat stores, correct? So, if an individual were to take too much LeptiGen, would this in turn create an overly amplified "fed signal", thereby causing the nutrients consumed (even at what would normally be considered a "deficit") to be converted to fat?
Just thinking aloud.......
In other words, can LeptiGen do too good of a job?

Between which meals are you now taking the Leptigen? The list of Aug 7th meals has no entries for Leptigen, and now today's list has 4 meals so far, but again no Leptigen.
