N.O.XPLODE fat loss help

[tolowo]

Ok im 305 trying to get to 230, Im taking Hydroxycut Hardcore N.O. Xplode and Cellmass, pluse protein shakes and MRP's. just wanted to know if I should cut out the creatine )n.o. xplode & cellmass) until I get closer to my goal say like 250??? I do 40 min of cardio & lift weights 6 days a week. I currently eat 2500 calories a day or less mad water, and diet tea or fresca when I get sick of drinking water. After 2 weeks of dieting and excersise I see definition on my neck and shoulders, but the fat MUST go, so any advice on the no and cellmass???

Thanx...

The experts will have better answers but i woudl say cut out the cellmass.

the protein intake should be about the same amount of body weight daily.

not sure about the noxplode.. i take it now but not when i was trying to loose 30 pounds.. i dropped from 220+ to 190, i'm now 195 but leaner and my bfp is down to 18% from originaly 26%

i take noxplode and like my results but am not seeing a decrease in weight, just an increase in muscle and decrease in fat.. so it might be too soon for the noxplode..

thats just my opinion..

[tolowo]

Ok, so you recommend to wait till I get a bit leaner?? I think thats what im gonna do..

anyone else?

Why waste your money on all of those supplements? When looking to lose weight. the #1 thing you need to focus on is WHAT YOU EAT. If you are currently 305, 2500 calories a day is WAY too little for a person your size to eat. You are putting your body in starvation mode and slowing your metabolism down to next to nothing. As for working out, why work out 6 days a week? You see your results when you let your body REST.

you need to post what your diet looks like as this is the number thing you need to focus on.

NO Xplod is mostly stimulants (caffeine) NO products have no proven advantages over placebo.

I agree 100%. ^^^^

Also, if you had searched this forum, you would have seen that this question has been answered...many times.

ok cool, my diet and daily activities consist of this.

8:00am Isopure zero carb whey protein & bally MRP shake , and 1 bowl of kashi cereal with soy milk. = 530 cal. total and 65g + of protein.

9:30am-11:am gym, weight lifting and 40min of elliptical.

Gym 6 days a week mostly cardio and have heavy/light lifting days and I do alternate body parts. Any critiques, advice??

[tolowo]

so is my diet ok? what should I change, should i goto the gym 5 days a week??

[Rhino70]

I lost 67lbs over a few months last year doing the same thing, less a few supps, i did cardio everyday of the week, bout 20-30min total. and did a different body part everyday. bis, tris, legs, back, shoulder, and on the 6th day more cardio and abs. then just cardio on the seventh. went from 285lbs to 249lbs in a month, at 6'2 and 16%bf. also one of the best cardio workouts you can do is heavy lifting, like you I am a big guy too and lift pretty heavy.
supps taken
hydroxycut h., lipo 6, redline liquid
b-12
e
c
also change up weight loss supps once the bottle is out, change, your body will get used to it.

[Wyomann]

Rhino70 I'm in a similar situation as you were. I weigh 285.6 and I'm trying to drop 20 lbs then re-evaluate what I want to do. I also change up my supplements once they are done. My question is: How many calories were you eating and how many grams of protein were you eating when you went from 285 to 240s?

[Rhino70]

I never did calculate how many i was taking in but the diet i was on consisted of:
peanuts, almonds, tons of tuna, chicken, and protein shakes...i never let myself get hungy. i had plenty of water and peanuts at work to munch on. if you feel like you are getting hungy chug some water or eat a hand full of peanuts. send me a private message with your email address and i will send youa letter i wrote a friend who was in the same situation.

[tolowo]

anyone think I should be eating more calories?? oing to the gym more??

[tomhl100]

i'm taking in at least 2500cals(alittle less on cardio only days), 250gm protein, 250gm carbs, 55 gm fats. seems to be working at 2 lbs loss a week while getting stronger.
i'm 213, down from 249.

I agree that you're throwing away some money here. Drop the hydroxycut and no-xplode as soon as you can - garbage in my opinion (not to mention what a ripoff hydroxycut is). I actually liked my experience with Cellmass, but never bought it again.

If you wanna try to get in on Zima Nutrition's Adipo 6 release contest, I encourage you to do so. If you agree to log it, we'll give you a free bottle of Adipo 6 (compare to Lipo6). This stuff is no joke - and even without getting it for free, I'd argue that it's one of the best products of it's class that you can get for the BB.com price of $27.99. The concentration and quality of the ingredients, as well as the 30 additional servings puts Lipo6 to shame

Contest entry ends today, so if you (or anyone else) are interested, please hurry to get your applications in - you won't be disappointed! Here's the thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=1011746

I also agree that you should probably bring up the cals a little, and lower them when appropriate - are you finding that you have low energy? Be sure that you're lifting before you do your cardio (you didn't specify) and that you allow yourself a cheat once in a while with adequate rest. Everything else will follow if you start with a solid diet.

Rhino, were you really taking all those fat loss/stim supps at the same time or were they cycled and switched up when one finished as you sort of implied?

[mga180]

I am taking Lipo 6x and I want to know if there are side effects if a mix it with Nitric Oxide....

[Tu-160]

Some stuff on NO explode side effects

[mga180]

yeah but it doesnt say anything about mixing it with thermogenics or with fat burners

thanx though

[hhicks00]

great advice above, i wouldnt neccesarily cut out the no explode because that helped me lift harder and more, but i would cut out the cell mass, it is a weight gainer and has a lot of calories in it, if i were you i would switch to a different protein supplement, the optimum gold standard whey is probably your best bet, its low in calories and fat and its a good value

[E-M-P-I-R-E]

hydroxycut h., lipo 6, redline liquid

Like the 8 oz redline drinks? I love them, i am hooked.

[gixxer2184]

if u got that much body fat to lose, then creatine would be a waste of money in my opinion

[Davidthefat]

instead of NO XPLODE, use regular creatine (no caloric value) so you can get the "extra" push

Cellmass isn't a weight gainer. It only has 40 calories a serving. I think you're thinking of True Mass. As for all the advice on what you should or shouldn't use - it really varies from person to person. You have to experiment and find out what works for you. NO Xplode might work great for you, but may be quite worthless to another person. Creatine is proven to enhance strength, endurance and recovery for the vast majority of lifters. If you're going to use it, why wait until later? It won't hinder your weightloss.
