It is in a family of suuplements that have a similiar effect but are healthy. I am alergic to coconut so I use CLA because it is in the same supplement family. It helped me stop drinking soda (or pop if you prefer)Lucas R.

I add another several hundred more calories for each workout - depending on intensity.Tri-Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09164926140098806417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-70659879133999087902010-07-16T12:43:15.737-05:002010-07-16T12:43:15.737-05:00Man, this "program" is starting to reall...Man, this "program" is starting to really entice me.

Is that right James? If you are doing triathlon off of 2000 calories... errr that is bonkers?!<br /><br />I have kicked coffee once a year for the past 3years for about a month a year... I go through withdrawal, horrible headaches and I sleep for 2 days straight, its nuts. Its easier to just keep injecting it in my system than to remove it haha!<br /><br />Interesting take on "diets" I view them the same way, I view a diet as a 2 or 3 week thing to obtain my objectives. Programs you stick to for longer periods.<br /><br />Cucumbers... LOVE THEM, they don't love me. I have a reflux and will burp/have indigestion for a day if I eat cucumbers, even small slices on my salads... its a tragedy!<br /><br />Great job with week 1!Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231774380979089035.post-25738949752330476832010-07-16T08:05:48.225-05:002010-07-16T08:05:48.225-05:00I was taking a sip of my coffee when the part abou...I was taking a sip of my coffee when the part about no coffee came up. Felt guilty for a brief moment and then you said you are not giving up the coffee and I felt much better!<br /><br />That 400 calories per meal (x500 =2000) seems low for a triathlete. I weight about 158 right now and have easily been taking in 3000+ per day and the weight has still been coming off! Will be very interest to see how this all works out James and also how you feel during the workouts! Thanks for being the guinea pig!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.com
