May 7, 201412 yr The devices advertised in the back of "gentlemen magazines"? Not exactly. :lol2: Pre-workout supplement.
May 7, 201412 yr Not exactly. :lol2: Pre-workout supplement. I've never heard any reviews, be interested in hearing your take on it. One thing I noticed is it has Niacin. Don't freak out if you get a "flush" from it. I use to take a prework out that had a good bit of Niacin and the first time I got it I didn't know what was going on. Your skin starts tinkling and you will get what looks like a rash on your neck and arms. Only lasted about 1/2 hour.

I know someone who takes it and they say it's similar to C4.

May 7, 201412 yr Substituting a shake for a meal will lower metabolism, because all of the nutrients and vitamins are not there, real food makes your body work to digest it, shakes do not. by your body working and actively breaking down real food it raises metabolism. I'm not saying for yo to disregard shakes all around but, They are meant to be used generally after a work out. that can boost your metabolism as well. no where on a protein bottle will it say: This protein can be used as a meal substitute. The effort it takes your body to digest something will have little to no effect on the speed of your metabolism. The nutrients and vitamins aspect is valid but as long as you are getting what you need on a daily basis it doesn't really matter which meal they are coming from. Building lean muscle has the real benefit to your metabolism and you aren't going to build lean muscle without protein. It's not something you want to do long term nor is it something you want to do if you are trying to gain but as a short term way to cut fat and lean out there is nothing wrong with it. At the end of the day your calorie intake (and macro break down) is what is important. Eat clean and your metabolism will be just fine.

At the end of the day, we agree on 3 out of 4 points that have been made. I'm just not ready to give up on the metabolism aspect of it. Didn't mean to be an arse the other day, guess I was in a bad mood.

May 8, 201412 yr Author NO. I had the meds left from a while back. If the pains continues to linger I will have to do something.

May 8, 201412 yr Author Sort of feels like I am being kicked in the knees when I walk and when I have to flex my legs. I am taking today and maybe the next two off to see if this helps. I have what seems to be a Baker cyst on the back of my left leg right behind the knee I am sure that is why Not sure why the front of both knees hurt. Old age I would guess.
