btw if anyone dunno where to get Xenadrine, you can get it from a store that is increasing their branches all over sg. It is called GNC ....

sharks, GNC changed their policy about redeeming pts. argh!

Xenadrine EFX is cheaper if ordered overseas. I am intending to get a bottle of CBLOCK (Carb blocker) from Bodybuilding.com. If anyone of you are interested in getting Xenadrine EFX from the same webbie, maybe we can combine purchase (to save on shipping cost)

actually the very first supplement i tried was carb blocker. then later i moved on to xenadrine. and my verdict is still holding onto xenadrine...

how much cheaper is it to order xenadrine overseas?

A bottle of Xenadrine EFX cost about $60.80 SGD according to Bodybuilding.com. Definitely cheaper than what G*C is selling and its the new formula and not the RFA-1 (which is available ~ G*C) without Ma Huang

Hi, you guys can count me out of any stuff that creates thermogenesis. My heart get irregular beats the last time i took stuff like that.

But i am open to other stuff...but not right now.

Anyway, got myself a pack of soya flour and going to expriment cooking with it, more like baking with it.

oohh where'd u find the soya flour?
i couldn't find it at any of the supermkts =(

fumih .. why'd u say chromium picolinate is bad? seems like thats the only one they sell at GNC/nature's farm n its listed in the recommended supplements in atkins book tho ..

I got my 1kg soya flour from "PHOON HUAT & CO PTE LTD". They got a few branches all over the island depends on where you live. There is one at Sembawang MRT station.

BTW, my first baking expriment now inside rubbish dump

It is alot more easier baking with flour that soya flour.

hey. anyone of u noe those dim sum low carb friendly? me and my frens went to eat dim sum den i ate the siew mai and the 'pau'. of cos the pau got take away the skin.

chromium picolinate is said to affect ur offspring...something to do with genes i guess. it was like a more 'recent' findings and published in the papers. you can search for this supplement in this forum, probably you will see threads talking abt this particular ingredient. but take note, just this version of chromium. other versions are absolutely fine as of now... =P

dim sum? the first thing i tot was only siew mai. thats all actually...and dont forget the siew mai contains corn starch as well.

what do y'all bake with soya flour? i never tried it.

siew mai also got sugar in them, basically most of cantonese cooking will contain sugar.

BTW, anyone knows where I can buy "Splenda"? I tried "sweet and low" for baking and the bitter taste is very very bad.

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie in this forum. Was wondering if anyone has heard of or tried Guggulbolic (another thermogenic)? You can buy it in Singapore ~ $55. See details below. Got the information from http://www.nutri-forefront.com/

Cheers,

Guggulbolic
Metabolic Regulator by Syntrax

Syntrax believes that losing weight is of little value if most/ all of the weightloss is in muscle/ lean tissue. Their products are specifically designed to target adipose tissue and preserve lean body mass, resulting in a rapid and powerful leaning effect.

Guggulbolic is a very special, high-potency guggul extract which conforms to all Ayurvedic standards of extraction. Guggulbolic has been shown in studies to dramatically increase the rate of fat loss by increasing thyroid hormone levels. This effect is quite noticeable and one can actually feel a rise in body temperature.

Guggulsterones have been shown in studies to drastically reduce cholesterol levels, improve acne conditions, and increase thyroid hormone levels (thus greatly increasing fat loss). While some other supplement companies use a solvent extracted low-potency guggul extract, Syntrax Innnovations, Inc. uses a special high potency natural extract which conforms to all Ayurvedic criteria.

Hello fellow Singa LCers,
Have been following this forum for at lease 2 months now and hv been on & off Atkins without much success.

Actually I am not overweight (45kg) but just flabby and fat at the wrong places! I was actually on a vegetarian diet for almost 2 years!!

Started on Atkins again (3 weeks ago) and did quite well until last Sat. I busted my diet "overdose" of peanuts sob....
The effect was instant! The next day my tummy bloat like nobody's business. I was so demorlaised that I ate some more carbs, 1 apple and at least 10 seeds of ranbutan.....

BTW, is Ngoh Hiang and fried Tau Kwa a low carb food? Thought of having them as Breakfast. Got tired of eggs eggs and more eggs...

About Splenda. Spoke to Staff of NTUC, actually splenda is banned in Singapore that is why all supermarkets do not carry them now.

About Xenadrine, will it help if I do not exercise?

these days been busy. i just want to say dont buy Xenadrine EFX. GNC said it contains a banned substance. that is why they only sell the RFA-1 version. i just got myself the RFA-1 again....Xenadrine is still very much the best among other similar supplements. no irregular heart beats for me...and the taste not too yucky.just that my finger will fidget a little sometimes.

Xenadrine RFA-1 is the one that contains the banned substance, ephedrine (otherwise know as Ma Huang). Xenadrine EFX is the new version without ephedrine. I have been on Xenadrine RFA-1 for the past 3 weeks. It gives a increased burst of energy after 30mins. Can really "feel" it. Initially got those jitters but a couple of days, my body got used to it, now is ok liao. Anyway for Xendarine, its best to cycle it. 3 weeks on, 1 weeks off (or 2 weeks on 2 week off) so that the body will not get accustomed to it.

yeah it seems like they took out the ma huang substance for the sg RFA-1 bottles. So why they dont sell the EFX version in Sg?

newbie...do you take the full 4 capsules a day? Imagine there are only 60 in one bottle...and that makes it last half a month. I think I will prefer to take 2 only before I workout. Or else, it could be 1 capsule before meal. Yeah my preference will be no capsules during wkends to reduce dependency on it.
