Best timetable for taking fatburners?

GymKitten Posts: 55 Joined: 2002/07/18	2002/08/22, 10:17 AM Decided to give fatburners a go (ECA type), to see if I can shift some more of this nasty squidgy fat (in conjunction with good diet and lots of exercise). So I've got some Stacker3. I've got low blood pressure (I get regularly checked by a nurse) and a low resting heart rate so I figured I'd be OK. What's the best time to take them? Before or after meals? Before or afetr cardio? Before or after weights? Any advice gratefully received. Thanks

After about a week or two, take the recommended dosage. I believe that they should be taken before meals, 2-3 times per day as suggested on the label. If you take them before weight training, they'll give you an added boost. Good luck Kitten... -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Not sure what's different about Stacker3... One thing I can tell you is that you'll need to cycle this product after a few weeks because your body gets used to it. If you are concerned about getting a heart attack, do your cardio first, then take the product after your meal in the morning. Remember, your heart rate will remain a little higher than normal after cardio, so you may want to wait about an hour before eating and taking the product. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Ooh- my new picture has come up- that's me after finishing a half-marathon!

I can give you the one I found by far and away to be the best if you want to send me an email. I do not want to hawk anyone's products on this board.
