That was the question, so I just answered the question. There was no detailed explanation requests.
Anyway, I have to strongly disagree with your theory there.
When your body only has the capacity to breakdown 2000 calories, but you're consuming 4000 calories, the nutrients out of the other 2000 calories are gone. Calories come from nutrients. These nutrients, such as carbohydrates proteins fats vitamins minerals, are the ones that will make up for the calories. That's where HCl comes in.
If you HCl dosage is suitable, you can digest up to maybe 100% (Well....problem is, there's no such thing as 100% though. Heat will dissipate some of the nutrients already) and your body can absorb the nutrients better.
You can't expect a BURST of energy. You can however, expect less gas, smoother bowel movements, a clearer throat, better health. I'm serious. HCl isn't magic, and I don't know all the reasons it works, but it does.
I don't actually get which part of my "theory" that you dont jive with . Well, I've never had experiences with
hcl therefore I'm not commenting on it.
What I meant by X amount of food = X amount of calories = X amount of activity, I'm speaking on a maintenance phase. So if you consume 2800 calories a day when your body has the capacity of burning the exact amount ( which includes general cell metabolism etc ), your weight isn't going up nor down. So if you want to get that extra weight you just eat more. Its up to a trainee to manipulate whatever that was provided for their specific needs
Now when I say Calories are king, it isn't a definite thing ya know. The reason why I said such a statement is because many of us worry too much about our nutrient breakdowns when we aren't even consuming enough calories to begin with. Now how does that not correlate to less-optimized digestion when fresh trainees aren't even eating enough? However, I must say that BBers will object whatever I just said. But to all the hard-gainers, this is what you might need right now. Forget the fancy digestive supplements and everything else. All you need for optimum digestion is a nice good serving of 15-25g of fibre a day, good food and the right attitude throughout . Then once you got that sorted out, its time to worry about your ratios and start being picky about nutritional values.
I think the common diet ratio is about 4:4:2 or something? I don't know. I'm no nutritionist. But what I strongly believe is that the more you start worrying about this puny little things when you don't even fix the major flaws that are staring to you right infront of your face, then we have a problem.
I'm not trying to put
hcl supplements out of business, what I'm just saying is I had burst of energies most of the time without
hcl . I might have had a few digestion mishaps, but they all went off like a breeze.
Pizzaboy is probably at a stage where he needs to fix those little things that he was neglecting all over these years to get those figures up and running.
Something to think about maybe?
So do I think that
hcl works? I dont fukin know because I have not tried it before.
Maybe I did not read through the previous post thoroughly, I just noticed that it was about hcl . heck some might just find my post useful This post has been edited by shanecross: Aug 22 2009, 08:33 PM
