From what I understand it’s harmless. Obviously guzzling gallons a day isn’t ideal, but as with most things moderation and common sense is key.

Just listen to your body. Rest, eat what you can, keep fluids high, pick foods that digest easily.. adding some fruit like berries may help. Don’t stress about training, just get some light activity in until you feel up to it again.

Depends how many you’re having and why you feel you need them. If you’re in a deficit and feel they help to combat cravings and keep you on track, then I don’t see an issue. If you’re on prep however, I agree with Kuba.. discipline is what gets results.

Hi Clare. Job doesn’t depend on it, or just makes it easier the less I weigh. I can do my job at my current weight, being lighter allows me to carry more fuel to cut a long story short.

Ah ok.. but if it makes your job easier, then dropping a couple of kgs is achievable with no detriment

New low weight again of 51.4kg this morning. Things are happening now, but I’m still not where I want to be yet, so plenty of work to do (In so little time ..ha!) I’m not afraid of hard work though, so my head is down and I’ll leave no stone unturned.

Push day today, followed by a busy afternoon/evening at work, so will update you on how that went when I get chance.. I may post some pictures too if I’m feeling brave!

Several weeks ago I was alone with 2 meals of 100g of vegetables and sensations, I believe that even worse, that’s why I decided to increase even more vegetables in my diet.

It may well be the type of vegetables you’re using. Failing that a strong black coffee in the morning may help or using supplementation.

Not so much for mental focus, but if you want a good night’s sleep, pair the Halycon with Dr Dean’s Sleep Stack pre bed and you’ll sleep like a baby. Quality sleep is crucial for mental clarity and retention of information.

Thanks so much Kate, I really appreciate that. All the best for your first show. Enjoy every second and take it all in.. You can learn a hell of a lot from this experience that you’ll be able to take forward into future preps and shows.

Have a look at the Diet Planner on here. Input your details and it will give you an idea of where to start. Obviously this won’t necessarily be 100% accurate as everyone is genetically different, have different lives, stress levels, activity levels etc, but it will give you a base line. If you begin gaining weight then you’ll know you need to drop some calories, if you’re losing then you’ll know you need to add some. If you’re maintaining, then bingo!

Either use your will power and stop at 2 or cut them out. If you find that sweet foods trigger cravings and could cause you to overeat, then maybe switch to more of a savoury post workout meal instead.

Yep, but they have just reformulated it, taking out ingredients that aren’t legal in the EU so that they could sell it here and it didn’t happen with the old formula (same caffeine dose).

Because that was my initial thought: caffeine content. I may try half a scoop tomorrow and see if that still gives me similar symptoms.

For mental focus, would I be better with Modafinil and a pump product do you think?

Also, I train fasted on a morning (except my Intra workout EAA’s & Carbs) so I know its not food because it happens prior to ingestion of my Intra.

———————
You may just be sensitive to one of the ingredients then or it’s aggravating your stomach because it’s empty. I would avoid it if it continues as the last thing you want is digestive issues before training. The PREpare is an incredible product for focus and pump if that doesn’t give you the same issues.
