Don't get discouraged if you don't see your obliques poppin out like pre-governor Arnold. This stuff takes time. You're training hard but you have to consider the fact that your body has to get used to your new diet as well. Once you find a good groove with your meal plan you'll start seeing more steady changes and progress. Trust me on that. Didn't gain weight overnight, don't expect to lose it all overnight.

Where would I purchase the digestive enzymes at?

Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

Any drugstore in the vitamin section, or a health food store.
Papain is a pretty mainstream one.
I used Betaine hcl, but there is a specific way to take it that you should follow if you choose that one, as it helps your stomach produce more hydrochloric acid, and if taken improperly could do some damage to your stomach lining.

Thanks Psizzle you are always so inspiring! I appreciate you my friend

Thanks Trex- I actually picked up some digestive enzyme at the supplement store when I bought the egg protein! So I am good in the hood now, So do I take the enzymes just right before I ingest the protein powder?

Thanks Trex- I actually picked up some digestive enzyme at the supplement store when I bought the egg protein! So I am good in the hood now, So do I take the enzymes just right before I ingest the protein powder?

I took mine right before eating, which kind did you get, are there instructions on the bottle?

 

[dointhemost]

Trex- It is called "Daily Digestive Enzymes" and they are from Irwin Naturals it looks like,It says to take 1 soft gel 2xs a day with meals? But I was just wondering if I should take them with my regular meals or only before I take the powder? Or just follow the bottles directions? LOL

Woo Hoo! I just took some progress pics and am very happy with the results and the scale is a damb liar...lol. I would love to upload them and show you all but am unsure how to do it! So if anyone can help me out with that I would appreciate it

Thanks caligirl Are you in cali? If so I am as well! So is what you are saying is I will get gas regardless from the diet I am eating? Its not just from the protein powder?

Great work girl! I have lived in southern California before but not currently there, although would love to be!! lol

I know everyone's bodies are different but I always found that the higher levels of protein will produce more gas! whole food or powder. I found I was eating high amounts of veggies too, which never helps (like lots of broccoli!) I think it's pretty common...being backstage at a few competitions...breathing is difficult from the smell! LOL

The one thing with the enzymes is to look for complete ones..ones that will break down fat, protein and carbs. Sometimes they sell them individually. I took them before meals. It didn't completely stop the issues but definitely helped.

I know it's tough but don't get too stuck on the scale number. Pics don't lie and it sounds like your making great strides! Keep it going!
