I'm curious, why do they recommend taking within 30 minutes of working out? Any reason not to take it on a day when I don't work out?Thanks

This would be the best time for muscle recovery seeing how you just tore down your muscles.. protein can also be used as meal replacements on any day... not just training days. Just don't drink and drive lol

This is called your Anabolic Window. Within 30 minutes after a workout your body is primed to make the most out of specific types of calories that you ingest, namely, Protein and some carbs to shuttle the protein. It's kind of a foundational concept, so yes, it's always good to take protein within 30 minutes of working out.

The sooner you replenish your muscles after breaking them down from your workout, the sooner they will recover. I know of no reason not to take it daily. Good luck

I am not exactly sure...the trainer I work with has me drinking this in the a.m. as a meal replacement.

That's when the body is most receptive of the protein. And taking it on a day off is fine.

I just mix it with water, since I don't want any sugar before I work out. It mixes fine. It will cause a "flush"/tingle sensation, but the science on this is pretty good and it seems to have worked for me.

I do but I dont take the W700 right before a workout. I normally do my workouts or my classes at the end of my day. I havent tried taking the W700 with the RocT drink but I have used them together in the same day. I will usually take W700 with Breakfast and Lunch then take the RocT 15-30 min before a workout.

Im a 23 year old woman and Im considering taking this to gain weight. Im am currently 115 pounds, and my height is 5'2. I always had a hard time gaining weight even now as an adult and I just want to know if this will help for a woman like me to just pack on some extra pounds?......I dont want muscle and I dont work out. Im a full time mom and just wanna know if I can add this into my weight gain regimen, and see great results?

I believe it's moreso for muscle mass. It's not a meal supplement or something like Slim Fast. It's better to drink it after a workout to replenish muscle mass.

This product can be used by women. It's recommended that you take 2 capsules 30-45 minutes before starting your workout & NOT to exceed 2 capsules within a 24 hour period as this is a high potency Thermogenic fat burning supplement and as with all supplements should be taken only after consulting with your physician. I hope this is helpful.

I believe taking the pills and also apply this cream twice a day after shower. Of course working out is a plus. You will see a big difference. Target workouts like squats and running.

Eating healthy and working out sure does speed the process up alot more but no you dont have to do it for the product to work. I do not eat healthy or workout so I know your concern. But yes it worked for me but it seemed to take a little longer. I can not remember how many packets there were but I think this lasted me for about a whole month. Hope that helps

Increase your protein intake (if you're already not getting enough), keep your sugar/carb intake limited, and eat something every 3-5 hours (small meals/snacks, nothing big). For exercise I primarily do weight training, mostly because I personally hate cardio, and kickboxing/MMA once a week. You don't need to work out for very long; 45 minutes at a time is the general max because your body will start burning muscle instead of fat if you go too long.To be honest, I would skip this product entirely. Maybe you have as bad a reaction as I did, but the caffeine content was a nightmare to deal with; three straight days of no sleep just to lose five pounds? No thanks.Good luck to you!

The solution this comes with has recommendations on the bottle. Definitely would want to wait the four hours minimum before getting sweaty from working out. I would wait the full 12 hours and then shower before working out. That is just my opinion though.

I didn't just take this supplement alone- I took several others including Garcinia Cambogia, 7-Keto, Ubiquinol to give me assistance with fat blocking and weight loss. It won't really do much if you are not working out. I would say in my experience, a new supplement if taken regularly needs to be in your system for at least 2 weeks before you see results- you have to take it consistently or it doesn't do anything- and you have to keep taking it awhile- however- I am no doctor- so be sure to get medical advice before trying anything you are not familiar with :) hope this helps.

I use it for fasted workouts as I follow lean gains. If you eat before a workout, BCAAs are a waste of money. You can get the aminos from whey drink.

I'm 17, I used it. used a full scoop and did some heavy cleans, felt a tiny bit dizzy/ heart rate increased dramatically. Light treadmill is ok, I do 5 min of rowing before workouts sometimes and feels great. I wouldn't recommend heavy sprinting immediately (taking into account the 30min absorption period) after taking it though.

Both before and after the run. Take 30 minutes prior to run and within 30 minutes of post-run. If you're only going to pick one though, do it before. You don't need to take it with food but some food is good for the muscles in general - give your muscles some fuel. I usually mix mine with a whey protein shake and eat an apple along with it 30 minutes prior to working out (whether it's cardio or lifting). --Addition I usually take 5g before and 5g after. You don't need it outside of your workout because your food is probably already supplying plenty. The difference with this (versus food) is the absorption rate.

It's quite useful if you meet the prerequisites and follow the proper protocol: you need to be about 12% bodyfat or less; you must take 0.2mg/kg bodyweight when fasted, do some low intensity cardio; and you cannot eat for 3-4 hours after the dosage. It's a pretty stringent standard to abide by, but if you are prudent you will get noticeable results in the stubborn fat areas such as love handles and pecs. This is not a magic bullet, you have to follow the rules and put in the work - but if you do, you will be pleasantly surprised. My two cents: try the pills as a trial, then get the powder and empty capsules if you have no side effects.

I take three pill in the morning, about half an hour before working out. I don't feel heavy or jittery or anxious, but once I start working out, I feel the Burn kick in. It gets me through an hour and a half work outs, without feeling náuseas or zombified. I am actually caffeine sensitive so I avoid taking it after the morning. That way, I don't get insomnia or sleep pattern disruptions. This fat burner is specifically for fat, and does in fact preserve muscle.I've lost about five pounds in one month, but my muscles have indeed gotten bigger and I look more cut and leaner.

It's a matter of preference. I've been creatine stacking, so I take a teaspoon before and after working out. Whatever you don't absorb, you'll pee out, but with the price of this stuff, you won't be losing a lot of money. On off days, I'd just do a teaspoon in the morning and always, drink a lot of water or you'll cramp up.
