Thermogenic ???

In a earlier thread diamondiceclay mentioned that you need to give your body 2-3 weeks off from any thermogenics ...to give your receptors a break....Is this long enough? I was under the impression that one should be "off" longer than that?

When I am not dieting for a show in the off season I do not take any kind of thermogenic...I take several months off....then I will take the thermogenic for around 3-4 months while dieting...works well for me.

im never off thermo's..it keeps me awake for my neurophysiology class at school I would die without it...

anyways, the thing about thermo's is that ECA doesnt even raise your BMR barely 3% so i dont put a lot of stock into its thermogenic properties..a real thermo is DNP--hands down..

I only use ECA for the stimulant effect and hunger blunting..therefore whether i'm dieting or bullking or whatever i'm on

so far so good..i havent had any difficulties in cutting up while dieting even though i never gave my "receptors a break"

I cycle them like so...

I use them at least once a day for about the last five years, and I cycle off of them for one day every few weeks when I dont go to the gym and am busy and forget to take em...

But like kakdiesel, I take em for the stimulant effects, not thermogenic properties!
