Did you earn it? If not, don’t treat yourself!!
Earn that R / R
Results / Recovery formula is one of the most important supplements I use, because it’s specially designed to replenish my body of the things I just depleted during intense exercise. If I brought it, I used up my body’s glycogen stores, I destroyed my muscles, I wiped myself out of electrolytes and the building blocks of muscle growth. And if I don’t put those things back … in a hurry … all the hard work I just did will be minimized since my body won’t be able to respond (build lean muscle and refuel) like I want it to. It will slow down, use it’s own muscles for fuel to carry on (catabolic state), and I’ll achieve the exact opposite of what I intended.
So if I brought it … If I dug deep … I EARNED IT!! And I better give my body what I earned! That’s exactly what I do! On the days I do a grueling P90X or X2 lift day, any Insanity: The Asylum, or even Body Beast you better believe I am going for my Results and Recovery Formula. I do fluctuate between using two scoops and one. As you will see, it’s a matter of my need (based on my effort) and the extent of my workout.
But, if I didn’t bring it … If I didn’t dig deep … then the last thing I want to do is put 2 scoops of R/R in my system that my body doesn’t need! That will cause an influx of fast absorbing carbs that will be stored as fat! This is why on yoga, recovery workouts and ab-only days, I only take 1 scoop — or maybe none at all. That’s all I need. I didn’t just destroy my body, so I don’t need a full 2 scoops. I give myself what I earned, but not more.
Remember to use R/R as it is intended — to refuel yourself after intense exercise. If you earned 2 scoops, use 2. If you earned 1, use 1. And if you slept in and hit snooze, NO R/R FOR YOU SLACKER! Sorry!
Like I’ve said before, I’ve used R/R for nearly two years now, and I’ve discovered that it doesn’t slow body fat loss at all if you use it in the proper window of time immediately after a workout. It keeps the muscles in an anabolic state (ready to grow, build, and repair) and keeps the body running in high gear (faster metabolism). It’s awesome stuff! But use it wisely!

What about Fuel Shot?
The Body Beast supplements are to be used in a similar fashion as R / R. The Body Beast Fuel Shot is a simple carbohydrate mix: dextrose and maltodextrin. R / R is dextrose based as well. Both should be used post workout for the fast carbohydrates needed to replenish glycogen stores and start the recovery process. Where they are different is Fuel Shot primarily just carbs. There is a little protein, but R / R has much more in the way of vitamins and minerals. The Fuel Shot is also unflavored to be mixed into other shakes. Between the two, I will still stick with R / R. There are more servings per tub and my body gets more from R / R. Its creamy orange taste is hard to pass up! You can compare their labels and see.
