AI Sports Nutrition Green Coffee Bean Extract Log!

[mdp223]

I like my coffee how I like women....in capsule form? Wait what?

Anyways. AI Sports Nutrition was generous enough to give me 120 capsules of Green Coffee Bean Extract. A BIG shout out to JohnSmeton for hooking me up.

Purpose of this log:
-Give feedback on how Green Coffee Bean Extract works during a cut. Currently dropped 10 pounds or so, seeing how this helps.

My POV:
-Not a diehard supplement user. As a college kid, the need for cash is more important than most supplements for me, so no need to worry about any biases.

My Routine:
-4 day split
-Chest n Bi
-Legs
-Shoulder n Tri
-Back and Traps

Calorie intake:
-2300 daily

Goal for GCBE:
Have noticed that I crash directly after eating, which isn't the best when it's in the middle of class. Am hoping this will help even out my blood glucose levels.

Without further ado. Lets get it started!

Day 1:

Shoulder & Tricep day
179.0
-Took one pill in the morning. Didn't feel too much of a difference throughout the day, so tomorrow I'll up it to 2.

I like my coffee how I like women....in capsule form? Wait what? LOL!

Hope 2 pills works for you!

GCBE helps to regulate blood glucose levels, and it should give you more energy throughout the day. In on this one for sure.

[JohnSmeton]

lol @ opening comment, good joke.

In to see this log flourish

Yeahh Budddyy

im in on this

Thanks for the encouraging words everyone.

Back n Traps day
179.0
Took 1 pill for lunch and dinner each. Noticed that my crashes weren't as severe. Definitely a step in the right direction. As to whether this is placebo or not (or body getting used to cutting, or just a random better day) - great question. I do think its too early to tell.

Tomorrow's an off day, so I probably won't log. Will up it to 3 pills a day though, which is the maximum recommended dose on the label.

I had no idea it regulated blood glucose levels significantly. I thought it was for just calorie expediture., nice, I guess I learn something new everyday

Yea man, I can't recall the exact name but it inhibits an enzyme that causes post meal blood sugar spikes.

nice no more glycobol for me then I kid I kid

Chest n bi day
Took one pill with every meal. Didn't feel a significant crash, which is pretty good when you consider that I also got barely any sleep last night. Really nice to have a consistent blood glucose level, which also translated into a better lift, since I wasn't groggy at all.

Does anyone know if there is caffeine in this? I checked the label, and it doesn't look like there is, but I'm just curious.

Just started back on this myself the other day. Very good addition to a fat loss diet.

I wonder how it would do added to a bulk oriented diet trying to minimize fat gains...Hmm I think I'll put it to the test.

Spent my rest day at the arnold.

Great experience, encourage all those interested in the sport to go.

Had a lot of free sample supps in my system, so i cant really attribute any feeling to any one supp unfortunately

got any arnold pictures? or just feel free to add me on facebook the above is my name with a space in between my first and last name

[mdp223]

Just added you John, feel free to check out the pictures I uploaded.

Today was shoulder and tri day, definitely feel an improvement in terms of sugar crashes when taking the GCBE. Only thing I'm worried about is when I stop taking it haha

lol sugar crashes are the worst

Been experimenting with timing of supplement. Seems that you need to take it throughout the day in order to avoid crashes. I frontloaded today, and crashed towards the end of the day.

Yeah, overloads your sugar absolrbtion towards the begining of the day that way haha, gives quite the sugar crash as it wears off. Never know until you try though, always fun to play around with it a bit!

[JohnSmeton]

are you saying its causing glucose/insulin levels to be more steady?

[mdp223]

Home for spring break
Hit legs today at a new gym, was pretty dope

Took three more servings of GCBE throughout the day, no major crashes throughout the day. It definitely makes cutting easier, since I know sugar levels (at least for me) tend to be more variable during a cut compared to a bulk. Especially when carb cycling.

Im glad it is working out for you

[mdp223]

Btw, I got a few questions regarding taste. There is none.

Took 2 doses today, one in the morning, one at night. There isn't a significant difference in my opinion. I may have rushed the gun with upping the dosages up to three in the beginning. I'm gonna sit at two for a while and see how it goes.

Either way works imo. 3 may work better, ive used it both ways. 3 may have seemed to work better for myself

Any updates?

[JohnSmeton]

updates please

Been seeing great results on my cut. I have taken Prolab caffeine in the past, and there's a few benefits/negatives of GCBE in comparison.

GCBE is great for controlling the sugar crashes. Typically, during a cut, we become a little more sensitive to blood glucose levels. GCBE really helps get rid of the crash. Prolab Caffeine doesn't really do much to control the crash in comparison, which absolutely SUCKS for anyone who is a student or in the workforce. Unfortunately, sugar crash naps are looked down upon by others, and no, cutting isn't an excuse.

With that being said, Prolab does give me a bigger boost in total caffeine count in comparison to AI. The reason I bring this up, is because most people will look at Green Bean Extract, and will think of the caffeine levels associated with coffee, and thus assume this product holds similar levels. Not the case. I don't think that GCBE is trying to compete in that category, but in order to be fair, I wanted to cover both a positive and negative for each. For those wanting to check out an AI product that is more geared towards the strictly caffeine spectrum, I would suggest checking out AI Caffeine, which has 200 mg per capsule.
