That will happen.

You don't do anything with it, they will be restored and placed right back in their position.

So if you look at the research on even fat burners,

you're not gonna really significantly aid in fat loss, right?

Stimulants, caffeine, combinations of them, they are an acute effect.

If they are used then to train better, more frequently, more motivation, work harder, great.

Sometimes they have an appetite suppressant effect as well.

but that's how they're getting to any substantive fat loss rather than the actual mechanism itself.

Yeah.

I mean, typical doses you're going to look at something like most is 150 to 400 milligrams ish on those things.

We way back in the day, people were tinkering with like 10 grams per kilogram, milligrams per kilogram.

So you're getting really high dosages and you're like, you're in these trials and you're just sitting there and you're like, your head is going to explode.

Like these numbers are outrageous.

Four to five milligrams.

is like more of a standard one now, which is going to equate to that, you know, like two, 300, 400 total milligrams, depending on your body size, you start crossing past like 500 milligrams caffeine.

And like, you might have an existential event, like you're going to be like, what is happening?

And I just remember sitting there with other students and stuff, just being like, I just want this to be over with.

You just do not feel good at those high dosages at all.

Okay, so that's actually, there's a lot of conflicting research as well on adaptation.

So there used to be this idea that you want to desensitize yourself to caffeine.
