>Stacker 2 is an energy supplement company developed by NVE Pharmaceuticals in 1997. It got its name from "Stacking" which was what bodybuilders routinely engaged in by stacking and ingesting Ephedrine HCL, caffeine and aspirin to acquire more energy for a workout.
So it's not the world's strongest far burner!™. I guess it has the right color at least.

>the whole "fat in your food is the first to turn into bodyfat" thing
that is literally how it works
your body is always attempting to to follow the least energy intensive biomechanical processes
the composition of your bodyfat will mirror the types of fat you eat

assuming a caloric surplus
if your body wants to turn carbs or protein into fat, it first has to convert them to fat which is a process requiring extra labor and energy
if your body wants to turn fat into fat, it's a much simpler process
your body will always prefer to use protein for muscle synthesis before using it for energy or fat storage, carbs for energy before using them for fat storage, and fat for fat storage before using it for energy

true but this was back in 2010 when even "out of shape" people could still sprint up a hill
the good part of the program was how easy it was to adjust the intensity, skip certain workouts, or simply take breaks because it was about accomplishing the workout/video and not MUH PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD

The fat you eat is the fat you wear thing is real. Body will rather store fat as fat than anything else or using it as an energy source. Carbs are used for energy and replenishing glycogen and body will basically burn it off as a heat long before it even considers storing it as a fat because it's highly inefficient.

Imagine having a great idea, a product that is selling well for 40+ years... you're on top of the world, then suddenly some queer disease ruins your business. They tried to rebrand but it was over. Maybe they should have just leaned into it.

I use to work there, the boss and the company is stuck in the 80s. All the boomers there are sycophants, and all the illegals work in the goyslop factory. After the CEO went to prison for putting meth in those stacker pills, he moved onto gummies, most of them fucking sucked, except the melatonin one. There's an old Asian guy by the name of "Phil" who would come into work extremely shit faced, tell people to shut up bitch and go back to drinking.
Pic related, the goyslop drinks the company would produce. Also, video related. This company is such a fucking parody.

That's true, actually. The fat you eat is the fat you wear meme is true. It really goes straight to fat tissue, no conversion required. Efficiency of moving fat from food to fat on belly is 99%. Meanwhile carbs convert to fat anywhere from 0% to 70% eaten, depending on glycogen stores, hitting high double digits requires massive overfeeding. If glycogen stores are depleted no conversion to fat happens. Look it up. That's why runners and cyclists can remain in 5% body fat despite slamming carbs even during races.

This was a great idea and ahead of it's time. It was just a 'milkshake' of protein powder and they told you to replace two of your three meals a day with it. I bet the women who followed it properly lost weight, but I imagine 99% of them just cheated or gave up after a week.

Slimfast original wasn't a "protein shake". It was actually incredibly low in protein.
