good luck with ur Clen sweetie. My advice would be to make sure that you are taking some extra potassium,cal/mag and perhaps some Taurine. This will prevent any cramping.
Do expect some shakes and possible headaches. I'm lucky in the fact that I don't get the headaches but the tremors....lol.....oh, they're fun!
Try to take in as much water as possible.(i keep my water intake at about 4-6 litres a day)
Are you doing two days on, two off or are u going to go every other day?

I myself do two on, two off, but a lot of people find that because clen stays in the system for i believe it's 48hours, they find it too strong to do two days in a row. Every other day is good too. Are you going to take the ECA stack or yohimbine on your off days to the Clen as well? Try both ways and see what you like better. Keep us posted on how you're doing okay?

I guess u could take the ephedra free Xenadrine. It's just to keep somethng in your system. You're afraid of ephedra but ur not afraid of Clen?

i know how dumb it sounds.... but its true, like i was takin 6 Xenadrine a day and i just didn't like the results or the sides from it.... at all...
i hear the sides aren't near as bad and the results are much better in the Clen.... what do u think?

I find the results far better on Clen than on just the ECA stack but the sides for me are far worse on the Clen. My heart feels like it's going to pop out of my chest when i'm on the Clen. My pulse is soooo heavy when I'm on the Clen. I just get a little jittery on the ECA stack. It doesn't affect my sleep as much as the Clen either. But it's really a personal thing. Some people find they get better results on the ECA stack than the Clen. Are you doing okay on it so far? Tremors? Cramping? Sleeplessness?

First off, I've never used the tabs. I've only used the clen syrup. But I would definitely agree to start with 1/2 tab to assess your tolerance. I wouldn't take them everyday myself as your system will get use to it really fast. i take mine first thing in the morning and then again mid afternoon. If I take it too late, I can't shut off at night. Everyone is different luvs, some people can take it everyday for two weeks straight while others prefer the one on, one off, or the two on, two off. I myself prefer the two on, two off or sometimes I'll go every other day. You certainly don't want to be on it for longer than three weeks though. Hope that helps sweetie.

hey hun,
i wasn't able to get my Clen until yesterday... i got 50 tabs of the .04... my friend (who is also a female) cycled clen before and told me to follow this routine :
Day 1 & 2 take 1/2 a tab in the morning and half around 5
Day 3 & 4 tale 1 tab in the morning and 1/2 tab around 5
Day 5 and so on take 2 tabs every day
Do 30 min of cardio on an empty stomach in the morning
* NO Carbs after 5 *
How does this sound????
p.s I took my 1/2 tab this morning and went to the gym to do my cardio, no sides yet

Hey Luvs. I too would suggest starting with 1/2 a tab. I think taking the other 1/2 at 5 may be too late in the evening but give it a shot. I normally take mine first thing in the morning, say 8am and then my second dose at 2 or 3pm. They're 40mcg's right? You might find that two tabs a day at 40mcg might be too strong for you but give it a try, if it's too strong, you can always drop the dosage right? Good luck sweets and keep us posted.

Clen doesn't make me hungry but if your hungry, eat. Your body is probably using the calories that you are putting in more quickly thus causing you to be hungry. I like to keep some hard boiled eggs in the fridge or some cut up chicken breast and I just munch on that when I'm hungry. Don't be afraid to eat just watch the type of foods that you snack on. Veggies are always great too but I find that a protein and/or fat source satisfies me more.
