About the ephedrine, there was a post about this on this forum recently, I honestly have not had the time to read it carefully enough to fully understand it - maybe someone can explain it in a short to the point way?
I have not tried lowering calories since doing this on BW x 12, because I feel I would be hungry then. In the past I tried a lower intake, and my energy was lacking quickly.
How much yohimbe should one take? I bought Twinlab's yohimbe which is standarized at 8 mg per caps. I was thinking 3 caps daily for best / quickest results?
Where's the ephedrine thread?
Ok, you said you've been dropping body fat well, thus your bodyweight has gone down, correct?
This would mean that your cals need to come down in compliance, ie:
if i was 200lbs and was eating x12 bw, i'd be eating 2400kcals.
If i drop to 195lbs, naturally, using the x12 bw my cals should be reduced to around 2340kcals, since my plan is to continue dropping fat.
Thus, to ensure continuing fat loss, drop cals were you see fit. A good guide is:
2lb+ loss = up cals.
2lb loss = Assess energy and such and how you feel and decide whether cals need to be upped very slightly.
0.5-1.5lb loss = spot on, keep cals the same.
0lb loss = drop cals.
0.5lb+ gain = drop cals.
If you're concerned about hunger, then just add a bit more fibre from the likes of green veg or salad stuff.
What type of diet were you following in the past?
And i ask again, what are you using to establish that fat loss has slowed?
As far as the Yohimbe goes, when you say standardised to 8mg a cap, are you referring to 8mg Yohimb
e, or 8mg yohimb
ine?
I've never looked at twinlabs products, sorry, so i'm unsure.
The active alkaloid of yohimbe is yohimbine, but some people have reported some interesting feeling from yohimbe that they don't attribute to the yohimbine that must be attributed to the other alkaloids present. But ideally, you go for the yohimbine.
I think the best deal on yohimbine HCL is prolly at
www.1fast400.com but i'm not 100% sure.
As far as yohimbe dosing, tell me the yohimbine content and i can give you a better idea.
If you were using the yohimbine HCL caps (2.5mg each of yohimbine) then i'd say start off lightly and work your way up to maybe 3 or 4 caps a day, avoiding using it with ephedrine as best as you can.
