I started using BASE Amino regularly when it came out in unflavored powder, about 6 months ago. I used it because it seemed to give a noticeable increase in endurance within workouts, and less soreness afterward - I wasn't worried about weight loss.
Now it's the holidays, and I am 10 pounds lighter than I was in June when I started using BASE Amino. 10 pounds, and I spent 4 or those months with a stress fracture and a broken wrist and limited training hours! I had been the same weight since I was swimming in college, trying since 2005 to lose my extra swimmer "insulation", and all it took was some really good workout nutrition.
Has anyone else had results like this from BASE Aminos?
I'm sure I've opened myself up for all kinds of STer fat jokes, and I'm ok with that - if I flex I can almost see a four pack poking through!
As an aside, I pay for BASE, just like you. Maybe when they get bigger (or I get faster) I can get a sponsorship, but for now I use it because it's good stuff.
P.S. In order to distract from the point of my post (to raise the question of whether or not amino supplements during exercise can have a side bonus of creating a leaner faster body) I would like to make the deceptive and misleading point that I endorse BASE because I like their products, but do not receive support from the company. I pay for the products, which is to say that while I am a sponsored athlete of some companies, I am just a high(ish) profile fan of BASE, who granted the company the use of my image on their website because I believe in their product and would like to see them succeed. Hopefully this long and boring post script clarifies my intentions - which are to brag that I'm skinnier than you. Fatty.

It's not the length that matters, but what you do with it.
