My Review !
 
FIRST, I am a BIG, FAT BABY when it comes to taking pills. When I was introduced to a FAT BURNING POWDER, I was ecstatic : ) SO, I ordered them as a little trial and error to see what I thought.
 
The only fat burner I had taken before this product was SHREDHERS pills. With a lot of water and concentration, I was able to take these pills (yet, I was miserable at the time). I had mixed emotions about the ShredHerz fat burning pills. About 10 minutes after taking one pill, in the midst of my working, my body would become very hot, my heart would race and often I would feel jittery. I got use to these effects, however I HAD to make sure I had a little bit a food in my system because I would feel nauseous otherwise.
 
BEAST SPORTS NUTRTION does not give me these side effects, which I am very pleased with. I started taking a scoop of powder as a pre-workout until I realized the directions suggested this as a "dietary" supplement rather than a "pre-workout" supplement. Therefore, I started to use this product as a way to hold me over until my next meal, in which it is very helpful in doing.
 
I WOULD recommend this product to those looking for appetite control, mental focus, and energy. OH AND, the flavor (orange cooler)... freaking AWESOME. Tastes like Kool-Aid!
 
Amphetalean Powder stays TRUE to its purpose

What is Gluten-Free, anyway?




 I did some research on this whole Gluten-Free fad because a lot of people have asked me about it and I'm a little curious myself. 
So..here is my information to you :)
 
What is it!?
Gluten is a GLUE-y protein, or sticky substance, that is found in many wheat products that makes it chewy.

Gluten takes part in the digestion process in our intestines, which is why Gluten-Free diets are so important to those diagnosed with Celiacs Disease. People with Celiacs Disease experience effects from Gluten such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, and symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The protein that Gluten contains attacks the small intestine and causes damage to the tiny villi that absorbs nutrients.

BECAUSE OF THIS…Gluten-Free diets lack many nutrients, vitamins, and fiber. Not because of the absence of Gluten itself, but of the foods Gluten is found in. The foods such as wheat, rye, and barley are the providers of nutrients that our bodies need.

WHO DOES GLUTEN-FREE BENEFIT?
            Well... only people diagnosed with Celiacs Disease. If people without this disease want to go COMPLETELY gluten-free it could be potentially dangerous because of the lack of nutrients, high calories, and some contains high saturated fat and cholesterol.




Many healthy and delicious foods are naturally gluten-free:
    Beans, seeds, nuts in their natural, unprocessed form
    Fresh eggs
    Fresh meats, fish and poultry (not breaded, batter-coated or marinated)
    Fruits and vegetables
    Most dairy products
   Quinoa

Avoid
    Beer
    Breads
    Cakes and pies
    Candies
    Cereals
    Cookies and crackers
    French fries
    Gravy
    Pastas
    Salad dressings
    Sauces, including soy sauce, or veggies in sauces
    Seasoned foods, such as chips, rice, boxed meals
    Soups

RECIPES
If you find the right ingredients, it is quite easy to turn a regular meal gluten-free.

 Bobs Red Mill is a great brand that provides many gluten-free ingredients such as pizza crusts, biscuit mixes,  bread mixes, flour, brownie mix, cake mix, pancake mix, cookie mix, and mannnnyyyyyy more. You can find Bobs Red Mill ingredients at pretty much any grocery store, especially Jewel Osco

Kikkoman also provides Gluten-Free soy sauce and teriyaki sauce which can also be found at almost any grocery store, I've seen it as Jewel also
