Chris with AtLarge Nutrition (http://www.atlargenutrition.com/) forwarded the following unsolicited email to me. It's from a customer of his, and I thought you all would like seeing it.

Yet another awesome testament to the high-quality products offered by AtLarge (http://www.atlargenutrition.com/)!

Dear AtLarge Nutrition:

I am writing you guys to share my experience with your wonderful products. I am an experienced trainee (5+ years in the gym) who had recently reached an all-time high in body weight of 235 lbs. I was no slob at that weight but was carrying more body fat than I am comfortable with. I decided it was time to get lean and I knew that I needed high quality supplementation to help me reach my goal.

I had heard nothing but good things about your company on the Wannabebig.com forums and decided to use your products to help fuel my “cut”. After some research I decided on Nitrean, Opticen, and Thermocin. Nitrean was an easy choice with its 24g of whey, casein, and egg proteins per serving. Opticen was not as easy a choice as I do not normally care for MRP’s. Most other brands don’t mix well and their taste is ok at best. That said, I wanted to use Opticen as a true meal replacement and hoped for the best. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that Opticen not only mixed very easily but also tasted fantastic! In addition, it was much more satisfying (in terms of making me feel full) than most other products I have tried and really helped me to control my food cravings.

When I have dieted in the past my cravings for food truly made the experience miserable. Opticen helped but so did Thermocin. Thermocin curbed my appetite and provided me with extra energy even when my caloric intake was very low. Generally, I think thermogenic products are over-priced and over-hyped. Thermocin is none of that and a truly effective product I would recommend to anyone looking to lose body fat.


As you can see from my pictures I had great results using AtLarge Nutrition's products. I decreased my body fat by over 10% while simultaneously cutting my weight from 235 to 215. I actually gained a few pounds of lean mass while dropping my body fat level dramatically. If you are looking for the best look no further than AtLarge Nutrition!


Thanks ALN,


Russ

No offense John, but I would hardly call that an "At Large Nutrition" testimonial. You know better than most that what this guy accomplished could be done without any supplementation whatsoever.

I think Nitrean is a great product but the others are hardly necessary for cutting. A good diet is much more beneficial.

BTW, welcome back from your vacation and I'm interested in that "Total Dedication" challenge you mentioned on your main page.

Ahhh, the naysayer.

Allow me to explain; yes, one can certainly lose body fat without supplements. The gentleman in the pics is a customer of ours. He used our products during his transformation. We did not ask him to use the products he CHOSE to do so.

Supplements are not necessary to lose body fat but they CAN be of help. Nitrean provides extra protein without the additional calories which normally accompany it when you are consuming normal foods. Opticen can be an easy, efficient meal replacement. Thermocin contains ingredients which have been PROVEN (you can do the research on PubMed if you like) in humans to aid in body fat loss. Thermocin also increases your energy via stimulants and helps to suppress appetite.

Bottom line, our products work as claimed and you can achieve excellent results using them as the man above did.

It could be done without supplementation, yes of course! But it was done with supplementation, therefore we could call it an At Large testimonial. :)

Regardless of all that, this guy's got a great physique!

Allow me to back peddle a bit.........

Since the gentleman above achieved what he did by using At Large products, I concede that it is an At Large "testimonial".

What I was trying to say (and was unsuccessful), is that a person doesn't NEED supplementation to lose body fat. The world is full of people that try and rely on suppliments for fat loss. They never learn to eat a proper diet.

I have zero evidence that says anything contrary to what At Large claims, and I certainly am not knocking their products. I'll be placing my Nitrean order shortly. :)

I also agree that the guy made a great transition and has an awesome physique.

It would be nice to see his full cutting program.

Chris,

Do you know if he was using AAS? He's a pretty big boy, so I'm just wondering. I can see how your supplements would absolutely aid in his 'supplement'.

I'm not naysaying- I love your stuff!

is that a person doesn't NEED supplementation to lose body fat.



A supplement is a supplement is a supplement. You use Nitrin this guy used Thermocin. Both help in achieving your goals. Your argument holds no water.

People have been building muscle without Nitrin as well. Same as they have been losing weight without thermocin or any other supplement that does anything. Because it's a supplement. It supplements x y and z. Not allows x y and z to take place.

And no one said he needed anything. ;)





I just placed an order with At Large. I hope the Opticen is half as good as your reviews say it is.

-I am experienced in weight training.

-I decided to cut.

-I used some supps.

-I had a good cut.

This is all the candor you could ever want from a supplement ad. This isn't some guy who went from couch jockey to stud overnight just by popping product. He looked great before the cut, and awesome after. And it happens that he used supplements which he thought were helpful.

Jeez, tough crowd in here. I thought 'I' was the anti-supps guy.:rolleyes:
