I took L-Glutamine for 12 months and this happened

this is a great video!! you are so well spoken and i love how organized and simple this video with great info came across. you just gained a subscriber:) also you are beautiful!!

[@cadencestringer]

Thank you, you are so kind!!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@jan11th]

no problem:) also did you find any fatigue when taking the L glutamine? i have only been taking it for 2 days but seen a super noticeable increase in tiredness:/

[@cadencestringer]

@jan11th oh no!! I haven’t noticed that, I actually find that I have more energy. If I was in your shoes though, I would probably take a break and maybe try again in a few weeks.

Super interesting and informative video Cadence! Glad it’s helped you so much in your fat loss journey:). I wonder if the Glutamine supplement would do anything for me because I rarely ever get sick and usually eat plenty of poultry (but maybe I’ll give it a go!). With regard to sugar cravings, I think slowly weaning off artificial sweeteners and added sugar would be the way to go. I know it’s tough because people tend to eat less fat to reach calorie deficit goals (training the brain to crave savory/umami instead), but that could be what’s keeping your sweet tooth so strong, otherwise the body and tongue adapts and you don’t crave sugar as much or need as much “sweet” to be satisfied. Our bodies weren’t really meant to be tricked eating artificial sweeteners and the jury is still out about how this might be affecting our gut health, brain chemistry, etc. in the long run. I have a friend who has miraculously managed to avoid all desserts for years now, and he tells me he has changed to bitter/sour tooth instead 😂.

[@cadencestringer]

Thank you!! That's really interesting, maybe I'll give that a try. I'm looking forward to experimenting with my diet once I'm out of my fat loss phase, hopefully in the next couple of weeks or months. I do try to avoid artificial sweeteners unless I feel like I really need them, since I agree that more research is needed in that area.

[@coltonmccormack8978]

I've been using the Nutricost unflavored as needed and just add a squirt of Mio in there so I can change the flavor whenever I want. I haven't noticed any taste to it, so I'm guessing the flavoring covers it up well.

[@cadencestringer]

That's really smart!! Maybe I'll try that!

[@sm0k1nggnu_]

Is there a reason why you're getting sick so often? Sorry if you mentioned this but did you check with a doctor? I mean, some people just have a weaker immune system but even with the improvements you saw this seems like a lot.

[@cadencestringer]

No specific reason, my doctors are in the loop about it. I appreciate the concern :)

[@leggermentesara]

What other supplements do you take? 😊

[@cadencestringer]

I take creatine, fish oil, a probiotic, electrolytes, magnesium L Threonate (for sleep), and lots of protein powder since it’s hard for me to get protein otherwise!

[@smonster]

why not just get it from whole foods and plants?????? i never understand supplementing when it is full of shit.

[@cadencestringer]

I can’t get enough in my diet personally, especially since I’m in a calorie deficit. That’s why I listed whole food sources, in case anyone watching wants to do that instead of buying a supplement

[@olympianagel9379]

this is so good even just as an explanation for what it does! really enjoyed the video Cadence ☺️🫶

[@cadencestringer]

I’m so glad!! Thank you 🤍
