When would you suggest taking an EC stack? I've decided to go with Primatene for the Eph (12.5mg) and Reg Caff (200mg), i've been instructed to go with 25mg of the Eph, so two doses of the EC Stack throughout the day and spread the timing apart.
Keep in mind i have school from 7:30-2:30 and im usually in the gym at 3:00-30. Would it be smart to have both doses in me before the workout?
Another question for you is, What are your Keto Macros during the week, and on your "Carb up" days?
I was going to go 55f-40p-5c <-- Fibrous Veggies and 55c-40p-5f on Carb up days? Does that look alright? I've read your supposed to keep your protien intake (1g per lb) the same throughout the diet and i was just going to "flip flop" the fat and carb intake accordingly. Also, i planned on starting the carb up PWO Friday ( Saturday Rest )until Sunday when i would start back up with "Fat Diet" PWO Sunday.
What do you think? Any Suggestions?
wait, 2 doses of 25mg or 2 doses of 12.5? Im assuming the 2nd because considering 50mg all at once is a lot. The best ratio of eph. to caffeine is apparently 1/10. So 25mg ephedrine should go best with 250mg caffeine. 25mg/200mg is pretty good though.
The good thing about taking it all before your workout is crazy energy - at least the first few times me and my friend took it we felt like what we imagined to be being on steroids, but you build up a tolerance quickly. The energizing feeling will wear off but that fat burning does not, so even though you might not feel it as much - it is still working the same.
The good thing about spreading it apart is better appetite supression. This stuff kills your appetite but if you take it all at once you might forget to eat for a few hours and then when it wears off eat a huge meal to compensate once you realize that youre hungry.
Ephedrine is great for fat loss but I started to abuse it along with caffeine. My regular daily dose im guessing late july and early august was around 800-1000mg caffeine and 75-87.5mg ephedrine. I was having trouble staying awake or doing anything without it. Also my biggest dose (usually 400 caffeine with 37.5mg ephedrine) taken right before tha gym would cause me to crash when I got home and I almost inevitably took a couple hour nap everyday after my workouts. Adrenal burnout. Realize that your constant sympathetic nervous system stimulation is not good for your body and decide on a dose and stick to it. If you find yourself saying, "hey maybe this will help me get through this activity a lot easier," eh...
65/30/5 (F/P/C) is the recommended. But are you really gonna watch? Id go crazy trying to count out everything I ate. I just try for 1g protein per lb. lbm and to get more g fat than I do protein. You dont need to count calories on keto because you just wont be hungry. The diet does the work for you. Just dont let your protein grams go above your fat grams. Carb up day I dont count either but Im guessing my carbs to protein/fat ratio is a bit higher than what you suggested simply because I take in 1000s of calories over maintenance on that day and its almost all carbs.
If you drink on weekends, dont do your carb up on the weekend.
If you want to be real serious about the carb load, the best guide I have ever come across on carbing up is this
