Hydroxycut & Weight loss supplements

Only take the Taurine before you train, about 45 minutes is perfect.

Be aware that Taurine acts as a cell volumizer like Creatine but nowhere near as noticable. So make sure you drink plenty of water, more than you normally would.

Can you take Creatine with Sida? How about Whey also?
 
The question is, why would you want to take creatine while on sida?

When you're on fatloss, the use of creatine is pretty much pointless - sure, you could perhaps push yourself further, but you're not going to put on any extra muscle when you're on fatloss. Also when you do decide to mass gain you'll find that creatine will be ineffective if you've been taking it for about 8-12 weeks without cycling.

To answer your questions, taking creatine (a muscle energy source) and whey (protein) is fine when you're on sida (make sure you drink plenty), but save the creatine until your mass building phase :)

I take it you don't usually have this problem? What time do you go to sleep and when do you take your last Sida?

Some people in the OcUK chatroom take Sida too. You could always go there for any extra information if you wanted.

No, I normally sleep fine, usually go to sleep about 11.30pm, and so far i've only been taking the one SC in the morning, didn't have any taurine this morning though so see how it goes tonight :)

I actually did that yesterday, I didn't have any in the morning but took some 45 mins before my wushu class. I've been drinking plenty of water. I figured it would be worth taking the taurine all the time for the creatine like effects, maybe not :)
 
Sida is not an ECA stack. Its kind of an ephedrine replacement (has very similar properties to eph).

I found Sida absolutely useless, I even tried taking 2 tablets a time but it still did nothing for me.

I have had much better results from the Inferno stuff oddjob recommended above.

EDIT: The particular product you are looking at MAY be an 'ECA' stack which uses Sida in the place of eph, but Sida as a herb itself is not an ECA Stack.

I'm looking to lose 3-4% bodyfat before the summer, wondering if I should bother with Sida / something to aid this. Diet is pretty much in check and i'm losing around a pound a week at a guess. Don't want any nasty side effects (shakes etc..). Never played with any fat loss supps so looking for personal experience really. What can I expect from them... :cool:

Any opinions?
 
Well apart from a sore throat that wont go away (coinsidence?). I've not got any side effects. You may wish to ask Oliver if he has. I think Jagen said he has trouble sleeping.

Still don't know if it truly works...
 
I haven't had any taurine since sunday evening and I slept better last night, it just seems that I sleep very lightly atm and find it hard to fall asleep. I'm not feeling bad during the day though so I'll stick with the Sida at least and see if the effects diminish.
I've noticed my appetite is somewhat depressed and I have zero interest in sweet/sugary foods.
 
Just read this in regards to a similar product

It works by helping increase the body's metabolic rate by way of the thyroid (T3) gland. A much safer approach to fat loss than stimulants.

Maybe why I have a sore throat :rolleyes:

Nah, I suspect it's just a coincidence. I usually get sore throat at the drop of a hat and I'm fine.

Well my sore throat has gone again. Going to take my first Sida of the day and if I get a sore throat again, I know what it is.

I used to be 17 stone about two years a go which is pretty mad, most of my old clothes are in the bin. XXL and XL just dont fit any more. A year a go I lost 2 stone somehow and I was 15 stone. Ever since then I could not drop my weight any further. Fair enough I was still drinking lots and participated in a weekly tradition of a pizza. This may be why I couldn't drop any more weight.

The 5 days that I have been using this product... I have lost about 5lbs.

For months (possibly a year) I have been trying to get down to 14 stone and I am almost there! Soon I will have my long awaited target of 13 stone, accompanied by an excellent diet and quite an intensive exercise routine.

If anyone wanted to shift a few extra pounds or a couple of stone, I recommend trying one of these products ;)

Oliver, have you noticed any improvements already?

Hmm, well the scales reckon I've not budged, but they are notoriously dodgy. I mean, I KNOW I've lost a lot of weight over the last 6 months, but the scales just fluctuate and tell a different story. I was having a feel this morning (oo err) and I'm convinced there's improvement. Belly seems smaller, man-boobs seem to be a little smaller. They're what I want rid of most. I seem to carry the weight well other than them ! :mad:

Anyways, yes I do seem to be seeing an affect, just wish the scales would agree. Don't forget I'm using different caps to you too. Not sure if yours have anything else in them? Are you taking the green tea too?
