First observation is I have to pee a lot more than usual.
Second observation is I feel physically drained
I'm supposed to do some boxing later this evening but I don't hardly think I'm going to be able to give it a full effort cuz I kinda feel like shit.
But my main point is...
Is this what fat people struggle with daily?
I have a whole new respect for really fat people no who go thru life trying various diet supplements and what not  |
1) caffeine is a diuretic as are some of the other components found in most thermogenics. that means it makes you piss out water and retain less water. coffee does the same thing for the same reason as do any other heavily caffeinated drinks. also you will crash all the time once it wears off leaving you with less energy and felling like shit unless you are taking a lot and spacing them out through the day. think of those pills as nothing more than drinking a lot of coffee (i dont drink coffee) - the experience should be the same. basically like doing small amounts of cocaine.
2) good diet and exercise has to come before pills. no pill can compensate for poor diet... especially todays shitty thermogenics with no ephedra.
3) your body is going to adapt to them pretty fast anyway - so again, good diet and exercise is everything.
