I'm new here and would appreciate some input on whether or not I should be taking these supplements that my trainer recommended. I'm not 100% happy with my trainer (see this thread:
http://forums.jpfitness.com/cgi-bin/...f=2;t=000439), but I am happy with the results of my training program so far.
My trainer recommended that I take Whey protein after working out and then the Apex Thermo-Transport Formula:
Vitamin B6 - 30mg
Manganese - 15mg
Chromium - 200 mcg
Citimax (Garcinia Cambogia containing 50% (-) HCA)
- 1500 mg
L-Camitine Tartrate - 350mg
Vanadyl Sulfate - 10mg
GLA - 100 mg
Thermogenic Complex Herbs - 60mg
Here's a brief summary of my situation from my previous post:
I'm 5'2" and weigh 154lbs. According to traditional wisdom I'd be considered obese, but I am naturally very muscular. I played intercollegiate tennis at a Division I school in college and mostly kept myself in shape until having twins 2.5 years ago and then going through extensive physical therapy for 6 months related to a serious car accident.
When I started my personal training program 6 weeks ago I was 158.6lbs. and my body fat % using the calipur (sp?) was 37.4%.
As of a week ago I weighed 154.2lbs. and my body fat % was 31.3%. My Fat Mass was down 11.1lbs. (48.26) and my Lean Body Mass was up 6.66lbs. (105.94).
I'm also a diagnosed Type II diabetic (although currently not clinically diabetic as my glucose levels are stable due to diet and exercise) and am on an 1,800 calorie diet.
I'd love some input on whether these supplements will actually help me. My trainer said that he wouldn't have put me on them when I first starting working out, but he thinks my body is "ready" for them now.
