Hi Samantha, I use it in a smoothie in the morning and it is great. If you are looking for a good diet to follow the Virgin Diet is good and the book can be found here on Amazon. Good luck with your weight loss. 15 lbs for me since the beginning of December.

I am too skinny, but have a hard time gaining weight. The reason is that it is hard to do weight training exercise to gain weight due to the fact that I have problems with my back. Both barbell and dumbbell exercise creates problems with my back. SOOO - I take the protein supplements just to be sure I get at least 20 mg of protein per meal to maintain the muscle mass I do have. I don't like to eat too much meat b/c of the cholesterol. Therefore I try to get protein from plant based sources. Hope that helps.

Personally, I use it in fruit smoothies for it's protein impact, which helps control hunger and sugar cravings. I don't believe this product is like a standard commercial weight program, it's solely a protein supplement to add to foods. I've also used it in oatmeal and other smooth foods to boost my protein intake. Hope this helps.

I start out my morning with a protein shake. 2T of Rice Protein, 1 C Almond milk, frozen fruit of choice and a little stevia to sweeten. I've lost 41 lbs. so far! For chocolate lovers, 1T of Cacao powder and raspberries YUMMY!

I took it for two weeks (two bottles worth) and I gained one pound on the scale but I noticed a lot of strength gains in my lift and a little more mass in my shoulders. I have trouble eating a lot and you need lots of calories to build muscles so drinking this allowed me to go 500-1000 calories over a day which I believed help me break my plateaus in a lot of my lifts. I am satisfied with it and plan on taking it again over my next school break when I can workout like crazy.

Hi Gerald, I use about half the recommended amount and it gives my system more energy. I do not feel jittery or feel like I had a caffine overload, or feel superhuman or anything. Half of the recommedation seems to work well with me. I try and work out 3-4 days a wek (minimum), and it keeps me going. I ran out before I recordered, I noticed an energy level drop. It seems to work well with my routine. It gives me just a little constant energy boost so when I need it I am ready for my workout. Hope this help. P.S. I never tried the full recommended amount. If I felt that half wasn't enough then I would have increased the amount, but half works fine for me. Take care.

I use this separately from whey, i mix it with fruit juice post workout to offset the taste

Here's the link to order the DVDS without weight package: www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/les-mills-pump-workout.do?code=BDL_LMP_ORDERPUMPNOWThe form has a 3 installment plan, but after you hit "Place Order" you will be offered additional products. Just keep declining the offers (unless you want them) and eventually you'll get to "Payment Options" and you can elect to make a single payment. This option will probably save you on shipping costs.

I followed the program for the 30 days. I lost a couple of pounds in the first week, and then nothing. For the amount of money I spent on this program plus the shipping costs, I felt it wasn't worth re-ordering.

I wish I could answer your question but I cannot. I used it the exact way it stated and nothing happened and I was even dieting and working out. I hope it works for you. I've been waiting for them to reply since it is supposed to be 100% Guaranteed or money back but no reply. That was several days ago.

It depends on how you mix it, they say to weigh it and use the same amount of each . I did a matching amount in Dixie cups and it set up in about two minutes. So if you do it that way use less of the activator or if you have a way to weight it I would go that way . Good luck

I believe the best results are if you use right after. I actually didn't wind up using this at all, it was too uncomfortable for me to be tight around my middle so I don't really have the best answer!

Very good question! I would recommend calling the manufacturer of this product. I would not be able to give you an answer holding any merit. I'd like to know myself! I haven't noticed too much difference using this product, except perhaps a mild appetite suppressant. I won't be buying any additional bottles. If it sounds "too good to be true" (for such speedy weight loss), it probably is!

This is a topic of much debate... Or should I say, has been a topic of much debate. Recent study has indicated that "loading" creatine (i.e., taking multiple dosages per day to fulfill a certain requirement) produces no increase in overall performance and lean body mass when compared to subjects using creatine exclusively as a post-workout supplement. That being said, post workout supplementation is optimal with creatine. Add it to your post workout protein shake (preferably whey protein isolate). Depending on your body composition, you can also facilitate absorption and glycogen replenishment by adding some carbs into that shake, like dextrose. I hope this helps!

I'm not sure I just mixed it with water. I had very good results with the Advocare 24 day challenge, lost a littler over 20# in the 24 days. I think the most important thing is to drink lots of water, more than suggested if possible. I'm going to do it again in a week or so.

Just received this product and directions day to take 2 capsules daily, preferably "with" a meal. So which is it...with, before or after?

It actually depends on how much you use. Many times when people first start using a supplement such as this, they will do a double or triple serving for about a week then reduce to one serving. This is referred to as a loading phase to help it build up in your body. It also depends on how big your serving is. Does one use a level scoop or a heaping scoop? Is it being used every day? I myself will average it out to about 45 to 60 days, using every day with heaping scoops. Yours may vary.

Been a while since I purchased it, but yes, I believe it was all there. I never made use of it. Best part was the program worked well in regards to getting in shape. I did not loose weight but that was because I did not change my eating habits.

This will put on lean muscle. Its only 140 calories per scoop. Its great as a pre or post workout. I use it 2 times a day for the past 3 months and it has helped me put on lean muscle.

So the bottle says "spritz before drying or swimming" which is pretty self explanatory. I usually just spray after my shower, but normally let my hair dry naturally. I just spritzed some in my dry hair and it seemed fine, not heavy or greasy or anything. I have really fine hair so that can be a problem for me. This seems to be good on all fronts though! Hope this helps :)
