shaking head, wondering if I made a mistake posting anything yet
Let me try to clarify. I did not mean to imply I am seeing any outstanding results or patterns of change in my body I can directly attribute to Carbolin 19. I understand this is a marathon, not a sprint. The intent of my post was to see if anyone else is experiencing the appetite surge I am. Answers to TShaws questions:

wufwugy,
I agree with you that the results posted so far seem incredible, based on what we’ve heard. In the original Carbolin 19 thread, however, we were cautioned that the results we read about from the study were an average. Therefore, some of the subjects in the study had results far less substantial than the average; and it stands to reason that some subjects had results far better than the average.
Who knows? Maybe there’s a small segment of the population that will experience wildly successful progress, even after a short span of time.
I wish the people posting these reports would tell us:
- What dosage are they using?[/quote]
40mg (2 pills) a day in afternoon. I use Spike in morning along with Alpha Male.
This is where I really question whether I should have posted in the first place. I have no hard data. My life is way too busy to be tracking a food log, not to mention I am not a highly organized person. I can only say that my appetite is just off the charts. I can eat a whole meal containing protein and carbs (that used to satisfy me for 2-3 hours), then 45 minutes later I am hungry again - and these are not small meals.
I have been filling in the new hunger voids with Grow! bars, usually two at a time. Since I lack any real data I was hoping to see if some other folks had the same experience as I, and also had the data to back it up.
I lift 3-4 days per week. Sunday 10x3 with three compound movements, Tuesday or Weds 5x5 with four compund movements, Thurs or Fri 3x8 with 5 compound movements. If I can fit a fourth day into the week I use it as a speed day, sort of my active recovery. I have been limiting my cardio to walking, occasional sprinting, and some BJJ at night 2-3x week.
[quote]If we knew more about these people posting great results after only 2-3 weeks, maybe we could start to hypothesize on the specific factors that help the Carbolin 19 process. Absent any hard data, however, I’d have to agree that it IS a little difficult to attribute their progress to “just” the addition of Carbolin 19 to their diet.
We need more data! (And I’m sure Cy and BAJ would agree.)[/quote]
Since I started on Carbolin 19 I have gone from 191 to 194. I am about 5’11", 33 years old. I’d consider myself an average lifter - way ahead of most, but behind many of the folks that post here.
Carbolin 19 appealed to me as a way to add some lean muscle without going through cutting and bulking cycles. My experience with with these cycles has been negative - when I am bulking I get sick of eating, tend to cheat, and put on more weight in my mid section than anywhere else. Then I look in the mirror, get fed up, decide to cut, and lose the power I just gained. The back and forth drove me nuts.
This weight gain could be attributed to any number of factors and I have no way of directly attruting to Carbolin 19. I think the 3 lbs is statistically insignifant and could easily waver back and forth from week to week.
Sorry if my post mislead anyone to thinking I am concluding this a wonder drug that will change your life in 2 short weeks. Not my intention at all. Hope this clarifies my earlier post.
