don't eat fat int he active window of slin and i'd think you'd be ok.....

this helps also. no fat for 2 hours befoer shot and i like to go 2 -3 hours after shot.

as long as you don't eat fat in slins active window..... and you don't over due your sugar.... you should be ok.....

but i'd like to hear about this stuff anyways.....

ya i know not to eat fat during the active window but i mean if this works then why not add it in also. the less fat the better.

IMO the whole fat thing is a little overrated... I gained a little bit, for me not enough to worry about. Just dont go overboard with the fat

going overboard on the carbs is usually more of the problem, as i dont believe many people inject slin then eat fat.

For some its hard to get fine tuned with their body...IE how many carbs per iu of slin, and that also changes with dosage. I've found that if I use 6iu's of slin i only need 6 carbs per iu...but if i use 14iu's of insulin , i need 8 carbs per iu...

Once you understand how your body reacts to it, you fat gain will be minimal. I'm on and i've leaned out about 2% while using slin 1 month on/1 month off!

Hydroxy Citric Acid (hca) is the main substance in Citrimax. It may help inhibit the ATP enzyme which converts carbs to fat. It is cheap and a very good supp to use post slin use to help minmize fat storage.

oh ya and i read that i should take it the saem time i inject cause they will kick in the same time, anyone heard of that as wll? or should i not mix the two? any suggestions r great thanks

**w_rballs** · 01-22-2005, 11:43 AM

i owuld take it a little before my injeciton..... injection is gonn hit very quick.. usually within 5 minutes i belive it is. where as the HCA has to be absorbed through swallowing it. i would take the HCA maybe about 20 minutes before my shot IMO

ya that makes sense but humalog peaks in about an hr so i was thinkin ot would b better to takie it so it kicks in the same time the slin peaks. but i dunno which would b better? i guess it wouldnt make tha big of a difference.

***Mr. Sparkle*** · 01-22-2005, 12:51 PM

So is HCA really worth your time? I need to research it thats for sure

i honestly dont know, ive read it should b a must with slin cycles, but others say its not a big deal. i think i'll try it and c. just cant find out which one to go with.
