EC really does a number on the apetite. Also creates a lot of heat with very little activity

I’m trying HOT-ROX for the first time (about 4 weeks in) and I really like it. The stim effect isn’t crazy strong, but it’s enough for me. I went cold turkey on stims for a bit before introducing it, so I definitely feel it. Probably wouldn’t if I was still drinking Spike up to the time when I started taking it lol. Appetite suppression is pretty good as well- I’m fasting for some pretty long periods of time right now and not really struggling with that.[/quote]
Plus it smells like raspberries![/quote]
And tastes like schnozberries!
Does HOT-ROX really work? Also does it keep you up all night? I’ve been hearing good things about it. I used to take ripped fuel but it seemed I could never sleep well at night… Any of you guys have that problem with HOT-ROX?

I’ve noticed that too. In the past when I have used HOT-ROX, I found it more difficult than normal to stay on track with my diet because I was hungrier and started craving everything.

If I may ask, how come you’re fasting, and for how long in one session? Are you doing Eat Stop Eat?

It’ll work great if diet and training program are in line, same with any other supp. And it has destroyed my appetite, despite going to the gym 6 times/week and enduring a brutal 531.
The general “rule” for timing is to not take it within 6 hours of bed-time, I go even longer as I have trouble falling asleep as it is.

It varies. I’m not doing anything too rigorous on the nutrition front right now. The fasting is just something new I’m trying out. Not going to say it’s optimal or anything at this point, but it does seem to be doing good things. Posted this in my log yesterday, and it should paint a fairly good picture of what I’m doing:

Nutrition/General Lyfe Update:
Wake Up: 2 HOT-ROX
Wake Up +15 min: 2 Neurostim, 2 Flameout, 2 fish oil (conserving resources)
Workout -15 min: 2.5g creatine monohydrate, 24oz French Vanilla Wawa coffee (addicted lol)
Workout (typically 3 hours after waking up): 5g BCAA structured peptides
Postworkout: 2.5g creatine monohydrate, 1 Power Drive, 2 fish oil, 390mg DMAE
Wake Up +6 hours: 2 HOT-ROX
Meal -60 min: 4 Indigo
Meal: 1 rotisserie chicken (w/ ketchup/BBQ sauce/hot sauce/etc), 8 Brazil nuts, 8000 IU vit D, 5 psyllium fiber, the cocktail, up to 2 cups rice (I cook 2 cups, then eat until I can’t anymore over about 2 hours or so)
Before Bed: 3 ZMA (sometimes I’ll take this before my meal if it’s particularly late)
As needed Moar coffeez
Now the odd part here is that the day’s meal just comes whenever I get home. Sometimes that’s 5PM, sometimes it’s not till 7PM or later. Yesterday I was fasted for about 22 hours, with around 8 of those hours coming postworkout. I used to be VERY meticulous about nutrient timing, but as of late I’ve become a big believer in the idea that what really matters is just your nutrient intake on the day. So I’ve more or less just transitioned to a mentality of training hard, getting enough rest, and making sure I get a good amount of nutrients ON THE DAY rather than sweating the minutia.[/quote]

I take ZMA before bed. That stuff pretty much knocks me out and I have no problem getting to sleep, even if the latter HOT-ROX dose is closer to bedtime.
