Yes, pm me with your info and I will have the samples sent out tomorrow. I will also be in touch regarding what type of feedback we're looking for, etc..

I'm willing to try that's for sure. I've gone months in the past without cheating but I just can't seem to get in the groove this time around. I cook ahead. I plan my meals and then one day (usually only 3-4 days after my last fresh start) I give in when the hunger hits and just blow it.

I'm not liking myself too much lately. I'm really sick of this particular pattern. Seems like dieting should be harder after weeks and months of it but for me - it's the starting that's hardest.

I have the same problem and same pattern of behavior... I don't know if it's psychological or just a cravvving inside....but I know it is not hunger pains. It's just something I feel missing...

FYI, I received my A-in last night. Out of curiousity, I will test it today. I am not taking ephedrine today, which supresses my appetite nicely, so that I can build up a severe state of hunger quickly. I'll keep you posted.

I can take it before I go to the gym and still come back starving. I just get shakey!

I am rarely hungry after the gym in any event, particularly after my shake.

I usually have a chicken breast or a can of tuna with a shake when I get back to work.

Okay, by 11:55 I could eat a cow. Last food was my pwo shake of 45g whey and 35g dextrose, at 7 am. On top of that yesterday I had around 1200 kcals total, if that.

At 11:55, I used three squirts. Now, for the record, I think it was really only 1.5-2 squirts, b/c since it was a new bottle, it took a bit to get started and the 3rd Sq was definitely the biggest.

Its now 20 minutes later -- effects? Not super dramatic but noticable.

After 5 minutes, my hunger was not "dead", and I definitely could have eaten, but I was not ravished. It was much more subtle than I expected, too. Not sure if that is good or bad. I am not desparately in need of food, either.

Interesting. I think I am going to wait the two hours, only drink water, and then do 4 squirts. All in the name of science!

Well got my goody package yesterday.

so decided to do cardio on an empty stomach this morning. So work up totally starving, stomach grumbling and everything.

Took 4 squirts, within about 15-20 minutes, the need for food was actually gone, stomach grumbles even quit. During cardio I could feel my stomach was empty but hunger wasn't there, and even 1.5 hrs later and I'm still not hungry. However I do know I have to eat and follow my diet plan.

But for a first use I'm very impressed.

I'll keep you updated.

Interesting.

Another time when you should try it, BTW, is after you finished eating a specific meal, but still want more, or don't want to stop.

I continue to find the effects more subtle, but quicker, than I expected. The hunger sort of disappears rather than there be a rush of fullness. In general, I think this a good thing.

Yes exactly, it wasn't a feeling of fullness, the hunger just kinda disappeard.

And great advice I'll try it when I'm done with a meal but still hungry. That's been happening quite a bit lately.

Nice feedback.

Keep it coming

wanted to let you both know - i still haven't gotten mine. i'll keep you posted. by the way - 1 hour 'til my next meal and i'm starving.

Opps. Thanks for letting us know.

no problem. didn't want you to think i was being lazy!

i'll let you know when it arrives and fill you in on everything. the time between meal #2 and #3 is often the hardest for me. i think i'll try it then first!

It was shipped last week...I will touch base with the distributor and see what I can discover.

Justin, where are we on this? Has a new bottle been shipped?

No, but will be tomorrow

thank you both. i'll be on the lookout for it. the one that was delivered to a different city/zip code never did show up. (it was addressed correctly - but post office delivery confirmation shows it was delivered to a different nearby city)

Odd.

Sorry.

Another bottle should make its way there soon...
