The label says to take 1 capsule before breakfast on an empty stomach. I practice IF, so should I be taking the capsule at 1 pm before I eat, or just when i wake up around 10 am? Also, how do you know when you should add another capsule to the morning serving? it says, add another "should the need arise".

Gaspari Nutrition: Detonate question
-
11-13-2012, 03:37 AM #2
I just ordered that item. But you would add an additional pill if the stimulant effect is fading. Your body adapts to these thermogenic supplements. I read the instruction and from my understanding you would only take one serving a day, which is at least 30 minutes before breakfast. I find it weird because most thermogenic pills require you to take two servings a day, one in the early morning and a second serving in the afternoon.
I am currently on Lipo 6 Black Ultra Con and it is taken in the morning and in the afternoon. Detonate is one serving a day and in the early morning. Weird. The whole point of taking a second serving in the afternoon for most thermogenic pill is so that your appetite is controlled during the pm. I really doubt Detonate will control appetite craving for the whole day if you only take one serving in the morning.Pencil Thin Necks/10

There isn't that much time difference between 10am and 1pm, so I would take it at 10am and see how it works out. If you want the appetite suppression to last longer into the day, either take that single dose a little later or add in a second dose later in the day. Just be aware of your bedtime, as Detonate does have stimulants that could make it difficult to fall asleep if you take it too close to bedtime.
Detonate does have a longer lasting appetite suppression effect than other products, so give it a try and you might only need the one dose.It's hard to win an argument with a smart person. It's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person. - Bill Murray

I tried this with intermittent fasting --- made it 10x easier to curb that appetite in the morning before I broke my fast

Similar dosing question...
I recently went form a bulk phase in to a cut phase. I took 1 capsule for the first three days upon first waking up. I start working out 30-40 minutes later. The appetite suppression has been good. Along with a smooth "feel good" energy for the morning without crashing. On the fourth day I upped it to two capsules.
I typically take a pre-workout before but SP Max has stimulants and Detonate says to avoid other stimulants, so I've been omitting it. I've felt a slight reduction in endurance during my workouts (most noticeable in upper body). I'm now trying my first tub of Hemoval and taking a scoop about 10 minutes after Detonate. I'm also using SizeOn as an intra (I was also during the bulk).
I think my question is, would dropping the Detonate to 1 capsule and adding back a scoop of SP Max be to many stimulants? I think the main thing I get from Detonate is appetite suppression. I still feel hungry but it doesn't rule my day. And I will say on previous cuts my mood has suffered and that really hasn't been an issue so far. Been on Detonate now for 2 weeks and besides the slight reduction in endurance it's been very helpful. Would it make more sense to start drinking my SizeOn 10 minutes before I start working out instead of adding SP Max back in? Or are there benefits from SP Max that just aren't present in these other sups?
I've been using sups for about 10 months and still trying to find what works best for me in both quantity and type... I've read quite a bit about different ingredients but am definitely still a noob and could use some opinions.

I personally (being 220+ lbs.) would dose like this assuming I train in the afternoon:
First thing upon wakening - 1 cap Detonate
Pre-Workout - 2 Scoops SuperPump MAX!
Workout - AminoLast
Post-Workout - SizeON
Now for you, being 172 lbs. and dosing like you said -
First thing upon wakening - 2 caps Detonate
Pre-Workout - 1 Scoop SuperPump MAX!
Workout - SizeOn
I think that will be fine for you, and as long as your Detonate to SuperPump dosage is at least 4-6 hours apart (I don't know what time you workout each day) you shouldn't have a problem.

Make my post seem legit? Hmmmm ... I'm just trying to help a customer with some of his questions.
As for adding an exclamation point after the word 'Max', I'm very sorry about that. I just get used to typing that because that's how I always type it. Very similiar to my signature (-Spaz), it becomes a habit. If it bothers you that much ... again very sorry. Not sure what it matters but to each his own.

Dang man ... your just like me
I wake up at the same time, 4:30 AM and I dose my 2 scoops of SuperPump Max (hopefully that makes ExDubio happy there ...) and hit the gym at 5 AM.
I then usually dose my Detonate later in the day. Usually around 11 AM or so. Just to give my body some time to digest the other stims and not give it too much at one time. But also early enough in the day to get the benefits (increased energy for the afternoon, appetite suppression, etc.). Because with us running our days on this time schedule, it does make everything a little different.
Because with that schedule I'm usually in bed by 9 PM or so. And I definitely don't want to dose Detonate in the PM in any way.
Hope that helps!

It does make bed time come rather early... Somewhere between 9-10 depending on what time I'll be getting up. Typically 9:30.
I like your schedule. I think I would only need to modify resistance days and not cardio/rest days.
What is the purpose of the directions on Detonate saying to take first thing on an empty stomach? If it's most effective taken on an empty stomach then taking later in the day would mean planning to not eat for a certain amount of time before that.

First thing in the morning on an empty stomach would allow for the best energy benefits, mood enhancement and appetite suppression (to start the day) when dosed at this time.
For me that timing just does not work with getting right up and training right away. So I take it later in the morning. And it still works great for me, because even at that time I have had only one meal (breakfast) a few hours before and it's well digested by the time I take my Detonate.

just to add a different viewpoint to the mix, I do not take in any caffeine after 3pm, as it interferes with my sleep. However, before then, I love me some detonate
