Metformin

[rnixon]

So I started on metformin this am 500 mg with protein shake, dextrose, creatine, & BCAA. Will take 500 mg dose with dextrose and late lunch. Post workout another 500mg with protein, dextrose, creatine, & BCAA again.

My diet was 135 carbs, 200 protein, 60 grams fat calories 1900-2200/day For my cutting cycle or close to but not sure where to go as far as my diet. I do know my carb intake needs to be higher and will have to be with the dextrose consumption. Any diet suggestions appreciated. Don't wanna get fat after all the work to loose 25 lbs.

On 2 iu HGH/ED
And just finished 4th Test cycle,
Still on clomid 75mg ED and aromasin 12.5 mg EOD

I will try to update how it works for me as I go.

Re: Metformin

Unclem can give you better advice about some details with metformin but there is no need for the dextrose shakes while using metformin. You do not need any certain amoutn of carbs to cover like insulin. Metformin cannot make you go hypo. Replace those carbs with some good healthy ones. Im guessing you are starting to try and bulk now? Start adding in more protein 300g daily, then start upping carbs a little at a time. Personally i think your fat intake is plenty but coudl go up a little also.

Sounds good thanks. Yes I want to bulk and am going to do a bulk cycle next but not for a little while, I'll just stick with the metformin for a couple months and HGH until its gone.
Unclem says to use the dextrose with the metformin.

Re: Metformin

i woudl say if unclem says to use it then do it. I have always heard of using it with a very large meal so i guess it's all the same in the end lol. keep us updated.

[rnixon]

Re: Metformin

my mistake to james you do need to take carbs with metformin but if u use dextrose , creatine with metformin you get a better pump. i might of said that as i told whoever thats wat i do. i gave to everybody the same info except i forgot you can go hypo on metformin but its very, very rare. maybe i didnt screw up as if u want diet food i can give you that. but if u want both diet and bulk at same time use the foods i gave you. i might of misunderstood rndixon if u need diet food to take then pm me or have these guys give diet foods its not to hard . and yes james is wright u can take in alot of protein but i take 250 and i was thinking as if u take to much protein unless your taking t3 u run risk of reversible kidney problems. very rare but i lean on side of caution. the body can utilize only 50 gr at time anyway so i would go as to 35 gr protein per meal up to 50 gr. iam very sorry if i mislead anyone it wasnt my intention. as i hope everyone nos i want to give the best info possible. from now on like rndixon did ill ask bodyweight and bf% this will help more so i can give it write. what works for me wont work for everyone. but yes heres wat i say use creatine, dextrose, metformin, inject b12 and inject bcomplex i found a place thats 5$ i paid 50$ last time. as if u want things pm me as they will be like finaplix-h , gone or 200$ for 10 doses. but anyway take that at same time metformin and sorry if u think i gave you wrong info. please get back to me and ill be specific to each of you guys needs. i wont use my habits as iam closer to 300lbs so i made mistake in that regards. glad rnixon brought this up so now ill do better job for you guys.

I think you do a great job. I'd rather hear what someone does for themselves than a reposting of internet info.

[jamescb77]

Great post unclem. Like I said my knowledge is all research. If you say get carbs with metformin I would be eating some carbs lol. Great knowledge my friend thanks for all the info you spread on the board.

My bf % was 15 with calipers awhile ago but from pics as samples don't think this could be or I just have a lil more belly fat than most ;-)


Your info is always great appreciated unc. It is always good to hear other ppls thoughts/opinions on everything and anything. I am getting pretty good at the diet I had guidelines for but afraid so much sugar mmmmm sugar may get to me but time will tell. Just started this thread for your info and mine!

Feeling a little pumped for sure I just did a workout and it was short but good.

Thanks guys

First two days on at gym went good, couldn't feel a huge difference in my workouts but could def. feel something going on in my body since dose one. Last night I was starving after the gym, felt a little bloated yesterday and when trying to get to sleep. Taking today off and will hit the weights hard tmra.
One thing is I feel really saturated with sugar as I haven't been eating very much sagar or carbs in the last 6 months and taking dextrose it is sweet.
I am taking dextrose with morning and post dose and just making sure to eat carbs with my mid day dose.

Took a day off and went back for two.
Workouts were good but think I may be fighting off a sickness. I think it took a couples days for my body to get used to the metformin as well but had some good pumps doing arms last night. Just having came off a test cycle I guess expectations can be a little high and gotta not be so hard on myself when I can't giver as hard.
The scale said I gained 3 lbs but I ate lots last night lol.
