Yes, he blends it all up himself.
n00bs:
It's taken with simple sugars to help utilize them more effeciently as energy. And unless you have tried, I don't think you have grounds to comment on what it does and doesn't do in all fairness. You have a fairly sharp eye though, I do tend towards insulin resistance, thus why I use it to help utilize the carbs as best I can. I also like DIM to help with estrogen balance.
Oh and the 4 scoops along with the rest of what I use, if you take another look is divided between 3 seperate drinks one pre/during/post. Seems to be working well for me.
To both of you, MO's always seemed like a nice enough guy to me. Haven't been in the whole forum scene that long though.

Meal 4:
Steak with salad. Close enough to a sambo, minus the bread
-Mitch.
They weren't the steamer packets but they were frozen vegies non the less.Haha! Steamer packets. Good man, I live on those things for lunch.
Your steak was much bigger than mine though. I now feel inadequate and obligated to go do something manly. I may go deadlift my project car shell, that'd show you.
Again, OT:
Contemplating Meal 5
Still hungry, may have cold cuts/chicken, or shake in a bit.
-Mitch.
Did you know normal caffeine intake can cause insulin resistance in people? I question this thinking of adding something that causes insulin resistance to a product to help with insulin resistance. That doesn't sit right with me, then there is the whole creative caffeine argument on top of that, one word comes to mind and that is gimmick. Not simply because I havnt "tried it" but because I understand the mechanism behind some of the ingredients that people that make this stuff don't seem to understand... Take out the caffeine and you have a different story the. Until that happens it's just another fad product.

isn't there caffeine in your insulin supportThe only caffeine I get is from green tea, I used to drink coffee back in high school, but haven't done so in years. I'm not particularly sure where you got the caffeine bit from? Is there something I missed or are you just refering to the insulin resistance bit in general?
OT:
Meal 5:
1 scoop whey
1 TB Natty Peanut butter
1 tsp Cinnamon
Delicious.
-Mitch.
Posted via Mobile DeviceNope, none at all. As you say caffeine isn't the best thing for you. Even a little bit these days gives me a giant headache, so I steer clear from it. Honest mistake, most crappy "proprietary blends" are just a load of caffeine with some sugar and a few amino's.
OT:
Meal 1:
2 scoops whey
2 whole eggs
1 cup egg whites
1 cup 5-grain porridge

-Mitch.
