| Hello, i have a dilema. Im a girl. Ive been working out for about 2 years, ok diet, happy with my weight/fitness. Ive always relied on natural supplements (L-carnitine, CLA, ALA, green tea) for weight management. In the past 2 months i gained about 5 pounds mostly due to my birth control pill (a little bit also due to not dieting so clean, but 80% cause of the pill). So i panicked and bought lipo 6X. So, ive been taking it for 2 days and i swear to God, i lost like 2 pounds already, but i can really tell, my abs are way more defined, less bloated. It's like i lost 2 pounds entirely of fat from my stomach. So i my weight is good now, im happy. I dont know if it's because of the lipo 6x or just because the birth control side effects have stopped. Should i continue with the lipo 6x?? im scared if i continue i might lose too much weight, but im also scared if i stop, ill gain those 2-3 pounds again and im liking my stomach right now lol. Advices? By the way, i know most of u are guys so please give me some serious answers. Thank you |

| Keep taking it until you get were u want to be, i wouldnt worry about gaining the weight back. |

| OR you could realize that most likely 2 pounds lost = water weight or shit weight. Your own body weight can vary 1-5 throughout the day, I've had it happen plenty of times and never once did I conclude i'd gained 3 pounds of fat since breakfast. Don't worry about it. Lipo 6 is not some hardcore fat-melting drug, just stimulants to increase your metabolism. However, you do end up losing 5 or more pounds this week and continue to drop too rapidly (3-4 pounds a week), considering increasing your clean food consumption until you're dropping 1-2 pounds a week (assuming you care about keeping any muscle definition, if you just wanna be a stick, then don't worry about it). |

Good point WRT the effects of Lipo-6. One should not use harsh stimulants such as Lipo-6 for more than 4 weeks at a time.Caffiene and yohimbine are very anxiogenic and this jacks cortisol through the roof,which is not remotely desirable in the long term for promotion of a leaner body type. ALCAR would ease the transition off the stronger stimulant and does help with fat loss too,as it is a derivitive/offshoot of l-carnitine.In most,ALCAR supplementation counteracts the 'cracked out" anxiogenic state of hard stims. If I may be so bold,I suggest adding 2 grams of epa/dha daily and Sesathin for synergystic fat loss and damage control. If you would like,I can post up an abstract or the full text of a study from Pubmed validating the synergy between fish oil and sesamin.I don't have it on hand,otherwise I'd post it now butI can dig it up with no problems. NOW is a reputable and dependable brand and liquid (lemon flavored) fish oil saves a LOT over fish oil gelcaps. http://www.bulknutrition.com/?products_id=2555 And Sesathin: http://www.bulknutrition.com/?products_id=2164 WRT dosing,do not combine the two as sesamin oxidizes fats so this would cancel out a good deal of the benefits of fish oil. A highly favorable dosing protocol would be Sesathin with your first three (and of highest caloric content) meals of the day and dosing fish oil right before going to sleep with a small (low carb intake is ideal at this time) meal or a MRP. |

| actually your body can vary by much more than 5 lbs. some fighters will lose 20lbs in a day. trust us, the 2lbs arent fat. water, glycogen. but water loss does make u look much leaner. |

| yea prolly more so on cuts from water loss you would see for the time being. |

| You've gained the weight from birth control because the last week of pills are sugar. |

The estrogen in the pill is contributing to the weight gain, and its likely water weight. for you to lose 2 lbs of fat on lipo in 2 days is unlikely, thats nearly 7000 calories that would of needed to be burned. it was water. or you took a ginormous dump. either one. but keep taking the lipo, if you lose too much weight, just reduce the frequency of the dose. i agree with the ALCAR reducing that cracked out feeling. It helps utilize fatty acids for energy as well. p.s. to better help you, i suggest a full frontal shot and back shot. you can PM me and i'll assist you further. thanks |

| I've had the same situation when starting Lipo and other fat burners. No big deal. If you drop 15 lbs next week, then you might want to worry. |
