Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 It's a matter of personal preference. Plenty of people start taking it at high body fat percentages. They like the strength and recovery benefits and know that they'll have some nice muscles waiting for them as they get leaner. Some people like to wait until they're " thin-skinned " enough to actually see the changes in their muscles. Some people are compulsive scale watchers and will never do well on it. Building some nice lean muscle can slow the scale down just enough to make them feel huge and bulky and hopeless. It's your call as to whether it would help you or make you crazy. :-) > I KNOW I'm gonna want to try this, but at what point?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Well since you're trying to gain weight/muscle, it probably means you're still undereating. Either you're breaking even and nothing is happening. Or you're gaining some lean mass, but your body fat is dropping at the same rate. And that's not good because it would mean your percentage of body fat is going down from the 10% where it was. For somebody who's trying to lose fat, normally they gain in the first week or two of taking Betagen, but then the fat loss overtakes that muscle and water gain and the scale starts dropping again. It just doesn't drop as quickly or dramatically as someone who's not taking Betagen. Their fat loss and physical changes may be very dramatic, but the scale doesn't reflect it as well because of the increased lean mass. > Betagen only made me gain weight in the 1st week, then my weight went back to where it was. Does that mean it's not working or is that a dumb question? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
