More Info

by Emma

Hi Steve,

Great article. just a few questions.

Can you provide me with some more information about adrenal exhaustion and how it effects the body?

Also, how much thermogenics is too much? For example, can you take it for 6 months or a year?

i started to take xlr8 last year and it really helped kick start my metabolism along with exercise. i took one tablet a day for about a month and then stopped as i was happy with my weight loss...

Since then i probably have put on a kilo or 2 so i have recently started to take it again.

In terms of achieveing results, how long does it take thermogenics to actually work and is it better to take the pills for 3 months... i.e. 120 capsules, rather than a month here or a month there?

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks.

How Long Should You Take Thermogenics For?
by: Steve

Hi Emma,

Great to hear from you.

Here's the link to Adrian's information sheet on Adrenal Exhaustion: Adrenal Exhaustion.

With regards to length of time for thermogenics use, I recommend only using them for a maximum of 3 months if you are having 1 capsule a day. If you use 2 caps a day then 2 months is probably long enough.

There are several reasons why:

Firstly, your body will 'down-regulate' the receptors on your nervous system in a relatively short period of time, which means that the effects of the thermogenics is lessened.

Also, stopping their use after a few months means that the adrenal glands get a chance to fully recover. Therefore, you reduce your chance of suffering from adrenal exhaustion.

In terms of how long it takes them to work, it depends on several factors, i.e. your eating and exercise habits, etc. The bottom line is this: Thermogenics start working immediately! They boost your metabolism, promote fat burning, increase energy, etc.

However, if you are doing everything right, it may take a week or so to actually notice the changes in your body.

There are several options when it comes to 'the best way to take them'. I believe it is either best to use them consistently, every day until you achieve your weight-loss goal rather than using them sporadically.

Alternatively, only use them on the days you intend to perform hard training sessions, i.e. 'leg day'. They can give the extra boost you need to work that bit harder on those days.

I hope this info helps.

Regards,

Steve.
