THE REVIEW OF WHAT HAPPENED
So despite it being around the holidays I was rather proud
of myself and my ability to keep with the program pretty strictly. There are a few days that I missed going to
the gym, but even during those weeks I still went five days a week, and found
other opportunities to keep myself physically activity (like shoveling snow for
three hours).
My goal was to test Super HD Xtreme combed with CLK both
made my Cellucor. For more information
on the project and the project see the “Introductions” page on this project on
the blog. I was planning on following
the directions to a T (which I did), of one Super HD Xtreme and three CLK –
twice a day (morning and early afternoon).
My experience was a complicated one for me to wrap my head
around how I actually feel about the products; and I hope you will see why.
First of all – as it related to my energy level – my energy
went through the room (especially at the beginning). From day one, I was able to run to the gym
early in the morning and rock out an hour of cardio a day. Not only was I able to up my average cardio
time to an hour (instead of 30 to 45 minutes), I started focusing on the high
intensive settings on all of the machines, and started testing out new machines
I would never have thought of before. I
was easily averaging at least 800-1000 calories of burned activity each
workout. Also – although the energy was
high and intensive it was not “jittery”, at least for me (and I do have a high
tolerance, so take that as you would).
It was a smooth and natural feeling energy through the roof.
As for energy level I would give this product an A+… but the
energy did start to wane a little bit as the month continued on – so maybe more
of just an A.
Second – it curbed my appetited pretty aggressively – which was nice in one
aspect but horrific in another. I’m
going to be as clear and transparent as possible – I loved the energy, but I
hated the nausea. I almost had to quick
the product a couple of times (but I am desperate enough to try anything).
I was so nauseated the first week I couldn’t eat
anything. I felt like I was going to
throw up all the time. I really just
wanted to lay in bed, and that didn’t help.
By the second week I could handle it – and I was really good about only
taking my pills with food that was somewhat dense (with some fat in it). If I took it with some eggs I was okay, but
if I took it with just a protein shake I was screwed – and if I missed that
window eating later didn’t help. By the third
week, I was better, but still struggled with my stomach. By the fourth week and near the end I think I
had gotten it figured out with minimal issues – however that was also when any
productivity in weight-loss plateaued and so did the energy spikes.
If I consider grading this product on “comfort level” it
would be an F. As I mentioned above, I
could handle the energy because I am a little accustomed to this – but at the
same level, my body is accustomed to it and it still threw my body into a nauseated
teenage girl. I can’t imagine what this
would feel to my wife who can’t even have a Coke without it jacking up her system
for a day or two.
Third – as for the actual weight loss I guess I am
a little disappointed – but I shouldn’t be.
Within the first week I dropped nearly 8 lbs. and I was thrilled – I was
willing to try and suffer through the hell to maybe get to ten. But after that first magical week, I started
to balance out. I actually plateaued and
gained a few back, which I am not worried about. I ended up only losing 5.6 lbs, which is good
– something that on paper I am satisfied with.
Hypothetically, as I was tracking my nutrition (1000 calorie
daily deficiency, 250 gm of protein, less than 10g of sugar, and less than 35
carbs a day – counting fiber) I should have been able to drop nearly 10 pounds –
but the bench mark for healthy weightless is 1.5 a week – and so the magic
threshold officially is 6 lbs. With that
in mind, we didn’t hit that magic threshold (and for no reason that I can see),
and so we won’t give it an A, but move it into B range.
So I am going to give it extra credit for the energy level,
but take punish it for the stomach issues – and we will settle with a B score.
A guess for me, if the question were to be raised if I were
to do it again – I think I would, but only after a few cycles of other products
so that I can get some efficiency from it.
I think the longer it is in your system the less it does for you.
Now I work on cycling off it with a 7-Day detox, and we will
see how hard it is to really come off of it.
I sometimes get nervous because these haven’t always been positive –
especially when your body gets used to 600 mg of daily caffeine in two quick
fixes.
I may start doing Detox Updates at the end of each of these.
