Rule 1 Lean – Stim-Free Fat Loss!
Rule 1 Lean – stim free yet powerful fat loss formula! If you and stims don’t get along, or you already use a lot of stims, Lean is the answer! Here’s an effective fat loss supplement in a delicious powder format that’s versatile enough to fit your stim free needs or be combined with your high stim pre-workout! Plus, you can use it anytime of the day. In this edition of Supplement Spotlight, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about this impressive fat loss formula, so let’s dive right in!
What Is Rule 1 Lean?
Rule 1 Lean is a stim free fat burner that contains a blend of extracts, amino acids, micronutrient cofactors, and other non-stimulating ingredients to support thermogenesis, a faster metabolism, and nutrient utilization. This combination of benefits helps you achieve your fat loss goals.
Lean is also versatile. It can be taken any time of the day or even before bed because it does not contain stims. If you are a stim user but already ingest a lot of stims between your morning coffee and your high stim Pre, you can mix Lean right into your Pre for enhanced fat burning benefits while you work out. You can also use it at night if you’re taking a stim-based fat burner in the morning. It’s a powder, so its refreshing fruit flavors are delicious.
What Does Rule 1 Lean Do?
As noted above, Rule 1 Lean supports thermogenesis. What is thermogenesis? It’s the use of calories to stimulate heat production in the body. Beyond supporting thermogenesis, Lean also promotes a faster metabolism which means more calories are burned for energy. Finally, it promotes optimal nutrient utilization. (1, 2)
Let’s Look At The Ingredients
30 Servings per Container / Serving Size – 1 Scoop
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate – 1.5 Grams
Also called LCLT, this is a combination of l-carnitine and l-tartrate, which is a salt that enhances absorption. LCLT’s primary benefit is that it influences muscle growth. It does this by increasing the androgen receptor that allows testosterone to work more effectively in your body. Of course, like all forms of l-carnitine, LCLT promotes the transport of stored body fat to the mitochondria to be used as fuel by your body. (3)
Apple Cider Vinegar Powder – 500 mg
The primary active ingredient in apple cider vinegar is acetic acid. It is believed that this ingredient aids fat loss by promoting fullness, thereby controlling hunger.
L-Tyrosine – 500 mg
This is a non-essential amino acid that is a precursor to the neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. These neurotransmitters can reduce brain fog, promote a more positive mood, enhance focus, and increase alertness. Typically, if you are restricting calories, you probably have some mood and focus issues. Tyrosine can help, which is why it has been added to the Rule 1 Lean formula. (4)
Garcinia cambogia Fruit Extract – 300 mg
Here is a popular ingredient known for its appetite suppressing potential. The active ingredient in garcinia is called hca, or hydroxycitric acid. Besides hunger control, this supplement may block the enzyme citrate lyase, which your body uses to make fat.
Coconut Fruit Water Powder – 250 mg
Hydration is important regardless of your goals. In terms of fat loss, proper hydration is important because it supports metabolism, aids appetite control, and improves in-the-gym performance. Dehydration, which results from a lack of electrolytes, results in fatigue, reduced exercise capacity, and increased hunger. Each one of these problems can derail your fat loss efforts The electrolytes in coconut fruit water control the cell’s water balance by regulating how much fluid is retained or excreted.
Decaffeinated Green Tea Leaf Extract – 100 mg
Even without caffeine, green tea supports fat loss. That’s thanks to the powerful antioxidant EGCG, which increases fat oxidation (the body’s use of fat for energy), stimulates your metabolism, and helps control hunger. (5)
Capsimax Capsicum Fruit Extract – 25 mg
Here is a trademarked version of cayenne pepper. Cayenne contains capsicum, which is the active ingredient that gives peppers their heat. It also stimulates thermogenesis. In addition, it helps control your appetite. Finally, Capsimax Cayenne Pepper helps prevent the burning feeling you can get from regular cayenne pepper. (6)
Grains of Paradise Seed Extract – 20 mg
This ingredient has become much more common in many thermogenic fat burners. There are some clinical studies that suggest grains of paradise stimulate the effects of brown adipose tissue, or B.A.T. What does B.A.T. do? It helps maintain your core body temperature when you are exposed to cold by activating thermogenesis. In addition, B.A.T. burns more calories than regular body fat. (7)
BioPerine Black Pepper Fruit Extract – 5 mg
This patented version of black pepper promotes enhanced absorption of the ingredients it’s paired with.
How Do I Use Lean?
Mix one scoop of Lean™ with 8-12 oz. of cold water and drink right away. You can consume Lean before meals or workouts, ideally on an empty stomach. You can also use it before bed especially if you used a stim-based fat burner in the morning.
Stack Suggestions
Here are two great Stack suggestions centering around Rule 1 Lean.
Fat Loss Stack # 1
Rule 1 Lean
Rule 1 Whey Blend
Protein powder is an essential supplement regardless of your goal. This one provides 24 grams of whey protein per serving, with low sugar and fat.
Axe & Sledge Hydraulic V2
This is a stim free pre-workout, if you’re sensitive to stimulants, this is the best option.
Fat Loss Stack # 2
Rule 1 Lean and Rule 1 Whey Blend, as listed above.
If you use a stim based pre-workout, feel free to mix in a serving of R1 Lean. With that in mind, I suggest Gorilla Mind Gorilla Mode, easily one of the best Pre’s on the market. I also suggest:
MPA Supps CortiSolve
Here is an impressive supplement that helps control the destructive catabolic hormone cortisol. This hormone is released in response to stress of any type. This is important because one of the negative effects of cortisol is fat gain. If you can control cortisol, you can prevent this from occurring. How do you prevent it? Add CortiSolve to your program, and try to limit your exposure to stress.
Hi-Tech Insuload
Insuload is a glucose disposal agent (also called nutrient partitioners and insulin mimickers). You take Insuload with your two highest carb meals of the day. It puts those carbs to work in your muscles instead of there being any chance they end up stored as fat.
