ALLMAX R-ALA Write up and Giveaway! CARB PORN THREAD!

[xStevenx]

One of my favorite supplements. I am on it YEAR ROUND to help control my diabetes. Even on my carb days, i take it so I can give less insulin to try and keep fat gains at bay.

So...what is R-ALA?



R-ALA POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT AND NUTRIENT DELIVERY SYSTEM
- INCREASES Nutrient Delivery
- DEACTIVATES Cell Damaging Free Radicals
- OPTIMIZES Insulin Activity

ALLMAX R-ALA promotes the muscle’s uptake of glycogen by optimizing insulin activity and helps speed up the amount of nutrients shuttled to your muscles pre- and post-workout. R-ALA can help speed up muscle recovery and can be combined with creatine to create a powerful and anabolic compound.

ALA is also an extremely potent antioxidant, so powerful it is known as the Universal Antioxidant. Anyone who trains regularly knows exercise can place a lot of wear and tear on your body. By supplementing with ALLMAX R-ALA, you can protect your body from the oxidative damage associated with intense training.

R-ALA Complex

ALLMAX R-ALA Complex is a scientifically proven Nutrient Delivery and Antioxidant complex. Unlike competitive ALA products, this complex supplies 125 mg of the active R (+) isomer, the pure mitochondrial form of ALA naturally found in the human body. This specific isomer is the exact form linked to the beneficial properties of alpha lipoic acid.

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID – THE TRUTH UNCOVERED

Commercially available ALA products on the market today consist almost entirely of the S (-) isomer of alpha lipoic acid. These inferior products have significantly weaker nutrient delivery and antioxidant properties. If your ALA product does not include the R (+) isomer of ALA, make the switch to ALLMAX R-ALA Complex today.

Now you know what R-ALA is and how it can help you!

NOW how can you win some?

Ever eaten so many carbs it just put you in a coma? I am talking about going to iHop and devouring plate after plate of pancakes lol.

Awesome promo, Steven. If I recall, you used your glucometer to show it's effectiveness at lowering blood sugar, correct?

yessir!

Well here are some screen shots from my continuous glucose monitor of my sugars. The first 3 are before I started R-ALA. The next 3 after that are when I started R-ALA

The green are is target glucose range

Day 1:

Day 2:

Day 3:

*Notice all the peaks and valleys, NOT GOOD!*
Day 4: (started R-ALA)

*Smaller Peak in the AM, but stayed good the rest of day*
Day 5:

*Still some peaks and valleys but not as severe jumps*
Day 6: This day was near perfect, went low a few times though


As you can see after starting R-ALA my sugars were lower and under better control. I have pretty much eliminated that big spike in sugar after I eat carbs, mainly breakfast, especially with the last image. I was so happy to see that!

What does this mean for all of you non diabetics? Well better blood sugar control is great for anyone. Maintaining optimal sugar and insulin levels will lead to better energy, better control of hunger, you will feel better. If you goal is fat loss, fat loss will work at an optimal rate, the same when trying to gain, keeping your sugars level help to keep your body in its much needed homeostasis.

Insulin sensitivity is important as well. Especially post workout, so taken post training will shuttle more nutrients more efficiently into your hungry muscle cells, (which is why we have ALA in our Isoflex protein http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/all/iso.html ) Insulin is a very powerful hormone and drug, too much is never a good thing, the list of potential "side effects" is huge.

R-ALA is also a great anti-oxidant, the best IMO. I am all about staying healthy, so this product is perfect for better health and blood sugar control.

Well there it is, PROOF that Allmax R-ALA works, and helps to better control blood sugars. If you have any questions let me know!

Here is the thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...2519391&page=1

There is the proof right there! There are many other GDAs, but they all give me the sameish result. And R-ALA is very cheap, so I tend to stick with R-ALA

It was sooooooo good, ice cream/milkshakes/blizzards are one of my favorite dirty carb meals I'm sorry for your loss =p

[RebelPoet]

Some steak fettucine alfredo ^, but let me just get a better picture for you:



I love fettucine alfredo, especially the alfredo sauce mmmmmmmm!

AND my favorite carb source:....SUSHI!



I mean although it isn't bad for you if you are on a carb deload you couldn't eat all dat dere rice....but if you want an idea just go eat sashimi if you like it (go load up on it superrrr protein).

A little story to make you jelly

I have a place in my town called Blue Fish Grill (not the Blu Fish fancy chain although we do have a few) and its basically an all-you-can eat buffet that has sushi, sashimi, hibachi (you can have steak,chicken, shrimp, veggies grilled), normal chinese/jap food (gyoza, crab rangoon, general tso's chicken, etc.), american food (mac and cheese, wings, etc.), a salad bar, shellfish, and ice cream/sherbet! It's like $15/person ($9/person in the early afternoon), but when I go I get soooo much sushi like 30+ plus rolls (one time I logged in a calorie logger all the sushi I ate, I ended up eating over 1400 kcals in that one sitting! <- close to 200 grams of protein!).

[TakedaShingen]

I should've taken a pic of it on my plate, but I was ravenous and I demolished my food with the fury of 10,000 Spartans.
So, here's the aftermath in Tupperware.




Top left:
Homemade Stuffed Shells with Fat Free Ricotta that I made up using fresh garlic, egg whites, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, onion powder, and a little mint for good measure. The melted mozzarella was also reduced fat, and the sauce was a fresh sauce that I made reducing whole tomatoes and using fresh basil, parsley, and a spice cabinet...it was awesome!

Top Right:
Hot Italian Turkey Sausage and homemade meatballs (95/5 beef) that I cooked down in my sauce. There's also a bit of mozzarella on the meatballs. I didn't have any meatballs, I made em for my kids. One of my son's favorites.

Bottom:
Sugar Free Jello Chocolate Pudding blended with Black Cherry Greek Yogurt and mixed in:
-Reese's PB Chips
-Reduced Fat Oreos
-Crushed Pretzels
-Fresh Banana Slices
-Just a dab of non-fat whipped cream for good measure.

(I'm about to destroy dessert. Figured I'd take a pic before it too was gone.)
