Welcome to my Red Acid Supplement Log!

I would first and foremost like to thank Controlled Labs for the opportunity to test Red Acid !
I would also like to thank pu12en12g and anyone else involved in the tester selection process.
I am honored to have been chosen!
I guarantee this will be a detailed, unbiased log.

Here's a little bit about the product:



Red Acid™: Fat Incineration Matrix (180 Capsules)

Red Acid™ is the most advanced fat incineration matrix ever to reach the
market. It combines a synergistic blend of naturally occurring fatty acids
and fatty acid analogues that serve as endogenous agonists of peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) and help to modulate
ghrelin levels, producing a hunger satisfaction that effectively lowers your
food intake. The fatty acid blend also helps stimulate glycerol and fatty
acid release from adipocytes throughout the body.

Key Attributes:

Body Fat Reduction via Lipolysis
Increased Energy
Help Activate PPAR- alpha
Potent and effective
Decreased Appetite
Greater Focus
Enhanced Blood Flow
Insulin Regulation
Ephedra Free
Yohimbe Free
Helps potentiate other stimulants
Designed to stack VERY well with Blue Rhino

Maximize fat loss results without nausea

Red Acid™ Write-Up:

Most people have trouble losing their fat stores because they cannot control
their food intake while on a cutting or maintenance phase. Even with proper
diet and cardio, many individuals will eventually experience problems losing
fat at an "optimal" rate. Now we have the answer: Red Acid™. Red Acid™ is
the most advanced fat incineration matrix ever to reach the market. Unlike
other fat loss products, Red Acid™ helps you to achieve fat loss via several
different pathways. It combines a synergistic blend of naturally occurring
fatty acids and fatty acid analogues that serve as endogenous agonists of
peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) and help to
modulate ghrelin levels, producing a hunger satisfaction that effectively
lowers your food intake. The fatty acid blend also helps stimulate glycerol
and fatty acid release from adipocytes throughout the body. Herbal appetite
suppressants that work via the CNS rather than the digestive tract, like our
fatty acid blend does, were included to address the same appetite problem,
but via a different pathway, the brain. Natural energizers and thermogenics
have also been added to increase activity in the gym, which leads to calorie
use. Enhanced focus is also attained by the addition of some of the most
thoroughly researched nootropics.

The REDuction Complex™ (Fatty Acids and PPAR-alpha):

Red Acid™ contains a fatty acid matrix that includes Oleoylethanolamide (OEA)
and Tetradecylthioacetic Acid. OEA is a fatty acid that is anaturally occurring
amide of ethanolamine and oleic acid. It starts working
once it reaches the duodenum (the upper 1/3 of the small intestine) and is
normally synthesized there by your body. It serves as an endogenous agonist
of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha) and
regulates lipid metabolism. OEA also activates vagal sensory afferent
neurons and excites nodose ganglion neurons, which leads to decreased
appetite and satiety. This naturally occurring fatty acid therefore inhibits
food cravings and helps release fat from its stores in the body.

Tetradecylthioacetic acid is a fatty acid that reduces total
cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL/HDL cholesterol when
used in combination with a good diet and also exhibits anti-inflammatory
effects. Tetradecylthioacetic acid, like OEA, is an agonist of peroxisome
proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha).
Tetradecylthioacetic acid has been shown to increase catabolism of
fatty acids and exhibit antiadiposity effects. Tetradecylthioacetic acid
will help to effectively remove fat from its body stores and without forcing
your body to effectively use it for energy. This allows you to “burn” fat at a
much higher level than by simply exercising.

The Transport Mechanism:

A few hundred milligrams of flaxseed oil powder has also been added to aid
in the transport of these two fatty acids into the duodenum and other
necessary areas, so that they can be utilized completely.
The Red Sweat Complex™ (Thermogenics, Nootropics, and Appetite Suppression via CNS):

We have combined the most effective and potent thermonutrients to increase
the utilization of energy in your body. The most potent extracts of
energizing ingredients were included to make your trip to the gym one you
would not forget. If you do not work out with intensity you cannot realize
your true potential for fat loss and lean body mass accumulation. Intensity
in the gym cannot be accomplished without focus either; you need the mental
acuity that only our top of the line nootropics can provide in order to
excel at your fat loss goals.

The Red Slob Complex™ (Herbal Appetite Suppression, Thyroid Support, and Digestion Aids):

Lastly, we added a proprietary blend of potent herbal appetite suppressants,
digestion aids, thyroid support and stomach soothing compounds that work in
synergy to target one of the hardest parts of fat loss: eating right. This
blend effectively targets the central nervous system (CNS) to control your
desire for food (without nausea or discomfort) and when combined with the
anorexic effects of OEA you are in for a powerful combination.

If you want to decrease your appetite, get rid of unwanted body fat, ramp up
your endurance and enhance your focus in the gym, then Red Acid™ is the
right choice for you.

Red Acid™ makes an excellent stack when used in conjunction with Blue
Rhino™. Together they will help you lose body fat and maintain your
testosterone levels during a cutting (fat loss) phase.

Name: Pammie!!!

Age: 36

Height: 5'5

Weight: 224lbs

Body-Type: Endo-Meso
Endo-Meso Characteristics:
-Holds more body fat then a Mesendomorph esp. around the belly
-Round Face
-Wide hips
-Gains lean mass easily
-Gains body fat easily
-Resistant to losing both body fat and lean mass
-These individuals are basically a rounder version of the Mesendomorph
-Tend to be shorter, have shorter limbs, which gives excellent mechanical advantage for powerlifts
Training Tips for endo-meso:
-In terms of gaining strength simply lifting heavy and hard
-For lean mass gain a variety of rep ranges work well, generally Endo-meso’s have no real trouble gaining mass
-For getting lean much cardio is needed along with a very rigid diet, staying lean is the greatest challenge for this body type as strength comes naturally
-Tend to naturally flock to deadlifts and squat since they excel at both lifts
-Eating very small meals frequently, tend to need to cycle or go low carb to really make noticeable results in bodyfat

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some notes on this program
To clarify how BGB works:
Day one is an upper body day: horizontal push-pull. This means back and chest, opposite movements so they don't tire each other out.
Back will hit back hard, biceps light. Chest will hit chest hard, triceps light. Chest also hits front delts a bit.
Since there's no leg work on this day, I toss in a calf exercise.

Day two is lower body: quad-dominant, hamstring accessory.
hitting quads heavy and hard, hams lightly. I toss in Biceps.

Day three is upper again: vertical push-pull. This means more back and shoulders. Bis get another small hit here with lat work, tris a small hit with some of the shoulder work and possibly some of the lat work.
Since there's no leg work on this day, I toss in calves.

Day four is lower: hamstring dominant, quad accessory.
hitting hamstrings hard and heavy, and going a little lighter and longer with the quad work. working all muscles HARD, but with different rep ranges.
Because arms aren't tired on hamstring-dominant day, I toss in triceps.

Cardio Training:
HIIT cardio 2-3 times a week
5 cycles of 2 min on/ 2 min off
on = running at a 7-8 level ( 10 being the highest)
off = walking at a 4-5 level

Diet:
Low Carb diet consisting mostly of lean proteins, veggies and fats. Very clean eating.
Daily caloric intake is usually between 1600-1800.
Meals consist of things like chicken breast, tuna, lean beef, super lean ground beef,turkey breast, fish, cauliflower, green beans, broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms, salads, almonds, cottage cheese, eggs, egg whites, oats, etc.

I will post my menu and macros at the end of each day.

Supplements I am currently taking:

One a Day Carb Smart multivitamin
I am just now wrapping up 30 days on Scivation's Sesamin . Here's a link to that supplement log .
I will not be taking any other supplements with Red Acid.
I have also taken Omega Sports Nitro Evolution , in the past, but am not currently taking it now.
Here's a link to that supplement log

A little about myself:
I started trying to lose weight in Oct, 2003 at 302lbs. I had never given much thought to my weight...I had been having kids for the last 10 years and basically just ate whatever I wanted and never exercised. I mostly stayed pregnant...LOL. Well, one day I took a real, honest look at myself in the mirror and realized I wasnt the person on the outside that I was on the inside. I was at a point in my life where I was ready to make a change... This was the beginning of my adventure.
I immediately went on a low carb diet (atkins). I stayed rock solid determined with my eating and did not cave...I lost 110lbs in 10 months!!
I also discovered weight lifting, and began to research it and learn as much as I could about lifting. I bought myself a barbell set from Walmart for $30 and got started on BFL about a month or so after I started eating low carb. Soon, I realized I was in love with lifting...hehehe...and I convinced the hubby to buy me a weight bench! This is when I really started to get serious with my lifting. I started to gain strength and lift heavier weights! It felt great!! I challenged myself and did 3 back to back BFL 12 week challenges ( with a week in between each challenge)...but I was not eating BFL style, I was only using their workout routine.Soon I decided to switch things up and start finding new routines to do...this is when I started to feel really confident about my lifting. I am naturally strong, so it felt great seeing myself improve over the months and get stronger!
I came to a point, however, where I realized I needed carbs for my lifting workouts. I couldnt lift as heavy on a low carb diet as I could on a higher carb plan. So I reintroduced carbs into my diet. I gained 30lbs back fast! I was very discouraged, but kept with my diet plan and started to lose inches but no weight on the scale. I decided this was because I was gaining lean body mass from the lifting and losing fat too, thus no movement in the scale. I figured as long as I was losing inches I was happy!
I took a break from diet and exercise about a month ago. We were facing a major hurricane and things were totally chaotic here due to the evacuation, etc etc...and I took this as a time to eat whatever I wanted, as much as I wanted. This was NO GOOD...hahaha...I gained about 10lbs back FAST...I also gained a lot of water weight, but I am in the process of getting rid of that already. Its amazing to me how fast I can actually gain weight! Scarey!
Anyway...I am back on track totally now, so I do not like to dwell in the past....LOL...I have 4lbs extra on me from my weight I put on my application to test Red Acid , so please forgive me for this and know I am determined to get it off ASAP. I am totally excited about being a tester for Controlled labs Red Acid!

I will take before pix this afternoon and post them later today. EEK!

did i miss anything?

pammiejoe6

I also want to add that I am now doing a low carb diet again to try and get this fat loss moving. My body loses fat much easier on a low carb plan, so I am going for it! Hopefully my lifting weights will not suffer...but I will tweak as I go!

Holy detail batman ! !

See folks... THIS is why our tester requirements were SO STRICT ! ! Looks fantastic Pammie ! ! Good luck !
