I recently started training again and decided to give
Lipo 6 Black a try as other
fat burner/
thermogenics were not yet available in Dubai (OxylitePro/Recreate) – also the product had some positive feedback which encouraged me. It's a toss up on this product, despite giving it an 8 overall i feel that to some this product could be a major hinderence to their training ... let me explain:
It says to take three in the morning and three in the afternoon on an empty stomach ... the problem this created was that once you take the capsules your desire for food almost disappears, to the point at times where you can feel your body needs food but for some reason you just can't eat ... and when i did sit down to eat i found it hard to eat a good meal (ie. I would pick at the food and not be able to finish). The positive of this was that i had been an avid binge eater and whilst on
Lipo 6 Black i was able to be more selective about what i was eating - this was a major advantage of the product.
I must mention that the first 4-5 days of being on this product were very tough and at one point I had to reduce the dosage to 2 capsules instead of three – this was because of the intense stomach cramps that I was feeling – in fact they were so intense that I could feel my stomach tense up whenever I moved (this made it almost impossible to train abs!) … this effect however wore off and never came back – I put it down to my body adjusting to the product. Another problem I had was that it advises you not to take any other caffeine products along with it, so how am I supposed to take my
pre-workout supplement! Luckily I was taking
Animal Pump at the time and you have the option of removing the ‘red’ stimulant pill – I did this at first but after some time found that it made little difference, perhaps this was my body building up immunity to the caffeine – btw I don’t drink coffee/tea and allow myself one soft drink along with my cheat meal on the weekend.
I must also comment that this product does give you a slight nauseous feeling, but I found it bearable although slightly uncomfortable – despite the caffeine I never felt any surge of energy or buzz … I also experienced hot flushes and generally felt hotter on the cycle … in the gym I felt I sweat more.
Overall I’d have to say that along with training 5-6 times a week my gains have been impressive, reduced body fat considerably! – I trained hard so I’m not sure how much can be attributed to the
Lipo 6 Black alone, although my waist size reduced considerably! – the most important role it played was in reducing the food I ate (by this I mean removing the temptation to binge on junk food!) but at the same time I believe that it restricted me from eating enough meals to build as much muscle as I should have. (i found myself drinking more
protein shakes on the cycle)
I give this an 8 overall, I liked it, I’d recommend it, however the price is rather expensive (in Dubai its approx AED 290-300 before discount – that’s around $79 .. I got it during Gold week at
GNC so paid $65) … for anyone thinking of trying it, I would say go for it … on the other hand I’ve read great things about OxylitePro and
Recreate from
USP Labs so they could be an alternative!
