Nice start buddy. Just stay consistent with your diet and lifting routine and you'll definitely see some results.

Can already feel a difference in my body while taking the RK. My body temp. seems to be higher during workouts and i sweat much more than usual; my appetite seems way down, making it much easier to cut. Loving the product already.

Update. (1/14/13)

I'm going to cut back on some of the specifics of my workout, since there's enough days posted to get a feel for how my cycles works in general. I do switch it up a lot, but the basics are down (exercises, weight, reps).

So far I've been doing the same old routine, and have been taking the pills at the same time. I take 3 pills per day; a pill before each of my 3 meals. My workouts have been the same, as i said, and so has my diet. Still cuttin' along.

So far, i can already feel a difference coming on; and it gets more and more each day. It started with a reduction in my appetite, which has now become a huge reduction in my appetite. I'm actually really surprised on how effective Raspberry Ketones have been so far; AI did good with this one! I also feel more energy throughout the day; i look forward to taking the RK with my breakfast, actually.

[kingnickandnate]

Update. (1/16/13)

Today was an overall rest day. I did a little cardio, but nothing much; i definitely need to catch up on sleep.
Yesterday was a full body workout:
-Bench
-Bicep Burnouts with curl bar and straight bar
-Weight plate training: Rows, skull crushers, presses, tris
-Ab workout: Russian twists, sit ups, planks
-Cardio
There was more, but those were the main workouts i did.

I've been keeping with the same diet. Thought i'd give an idea of what i eat in a day:
-Breakfast: Whey protein (1scoop), protein pancakes or Whey protein (1 scoop) with milk, an egg, toast, and sauage
-Lunch: Sandwich, milk, apple, whey protein (2 scoops) or Chicken, milk, apple, whey (2 scoops)
-Dinner: Chicken, corn, potatoes
-Other: Possibly toss in another scoop of whey or a protein bar
It's very broad, but it gives a general idea of what my diet consists of.

My exercising has been generally the same as well; i need to get it more scheduled.
Next update i'll try to throw in another pic and some more thoughts on the RK!

[kingnickandnate]

Update. (1/19/13)

Workouts:
The past couple days have been the same cycling of exercises. More specifically, yesterday was an end of the week full body workout; i did some benching, weight plate exercises, bicep burnouts, squats, ab workouts, and cardio. Today will also be a mixed full body workout, since I've neglected to exercise some muscles during the week. I'll also throw in some cardio again; I've been trying to do it everyday.

Supplements:
I just wanted to throw in an update on my supplements as well. I am, of course, still taking 3 capsules of RK a day (one with each meal). As for protein, i just stopped taking ON and now im taking BB whey. PWO wise, I've been mixing it up each day - using up all the sample packs i have. And then there's the fish oil and multi's, as well.

Other:
Since i updated my nutrition/diet information in the last post, i won't bother to mention that (nothing has changed). However, i have passed the 160 mark for weight, thanks to the help of the RK. I'm hoping to drop down to at least 155, if not 150; which should workout to be right around the time that i run out of RK. I'll also try to throw in a couple more progress pics along the way.
-Edit: Just weighed in, looks like im actually 157

[qstick99]

Solid start here, keep playing with the diet and make sure you are giving your body the fuel it needs. Sounds like the A1 RK are working out really well!

Thanks, i try to keep it detailed while at the same time keeping myself from being repetitive. I'm going to start switching up things like my dosage and when i take the pills here soon, just to see how it goes. And yeah, sleep is my biggest problem

[kingnickandnate]

Update. (1/20/13)

Yesterday didn't go so well. Little motivation and little energy; i hope to make up for it today. Starting off with some motivational videos and things of the sort to get pumped up, then i plan on drowning myself in PWO and going crazy.



Later on i'll post a screenshot of what my daily intake looks like calorie and macro wise on the typical day and ill try to throw up some other pics as well.
I'll also come back and update what i did for my workout.


Diet:




Workout:
Did a mix of different things today. I started with weight plates; doing skull crushers, tris, and rows, then moved onto curl bar skull crushers and wrist curls; also through in some straight bar skull crushers. In between sets, i did some bent over rows, as well as some other small mixed exercises. At the end i went outside and did some snow cardio too. I was all over the board today, but i can definitely feel the aftermath.

other

My diet and everything else is still on track as usual. However, i did make a minor switch with the RK; i started taking 2 in the morning with my breakfast and 1 at night with my dinner. I just started doing it a couple days ago, but i can already feel the difference. Since i workout between lunch and dinner, i don't have any problems there. The problem was between breakfast and lunch, and i believe the switch fixed the problem. As for overall, the results are definitely showing! I'll be weighing in soon and i expect to be down another pound or so, hoping to hit 150 with the help of RK!

Update. (1/26/13)
Have been doing the same when it comes to the product; but i did add a little more calorie intake into my diet (now 1700, instead of 1600). I'm also incorporating more cardio into my workouts.

Yesterdays workout
For the first workout i did a mile run on the treadmill and a half mile jog around the gym; and then did some basic ab exercises, like sit ups, leg lifts, and planks.

For the second workout i did a half mile jog around my school (two sets of stairs each time around); a little biking; and two sets of the same ab workout.

As for diet, I've been sticking with what i put in my last post. I've increased my daily intake, calorie wise, from 1600 to 1700 and i plan on going up a little more, and then keeping it steady - so that my weight loss isn't too aggressive. So far, my weight has stayed the same (157 lb) despite the increase in calories. And as for the RK, I've been sticking with the 2 in the morning with breakfast and one in the afternoon with dinner routine. It's been keeping a steady affect on me; you can definitely feel the difference while being on it.

Update. (2/2/13)
Haven't updated in a couple days, so i'll catch up in this post.

Since my workouts have been the same, i won't post each days. I try to rotate each week with the same workouts, or at least very similar. Just for the sake of being an update post, i'll still post today's workout. Now for the supplement.. I'm still taking the RK at the same time each day, and still taking the same amount. Tomorrow i'll be weighing in, so ill try to update that as well. Since i increased my calorie intake by 100, and soon another 100, i don't expect that ill lose any weight. As for the effects of RK, im still feeling them just like the beginning. It's definitely a good 'push' to keep on cutting on.

Today's workout:

-Weight Plate Tricep Extensions

[kingnickandnate]

Update (2/04/13)

Workouts:
My workout routines have been the same as usual, except for one change. Rather than have an odd day in between everything for cardio and abs, i decided to do cardio on rest days and switch to having a leg day. I've only had one solid leg day so far, which consisted of squats, leg extensions, and calf raises. Just to give an idea of strength gain during the log; as of today, a new bench PR of 205x1 was reached.

Diet:
My diet of 1700 calories per day as stayed consistent. Starting today, i will again increase my calorie intake by 100. For the next week, or two, i plan on keeping at (or slightly under) 1800 calories per day, with the same macros.

Other:
My use of the RK has stayed the same as before. I'm going to start taking them differently on the weekdays than on the weekends from on on, though. I plan to keep on taking 2 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon on weekdays; but now i plan on taking 1 with each meal on the weekends. Hopefully this will give me an idea of which routine is better.
My weight has continued to drop, and is now 155lb. Despite the increase in calorie intake, i still lost over a lb this past week. This is the cause of my increase of another 100 calories for this week and the weeks to come.
