In continuance (with reiteration
) of the great post Hazcat has started, one of the mechanisms behind AAS actually causing weight loss is by building muscle mass. This in turn raises the person's basal metabolic rate and helps them burn off fat easier. I agree with the lifestyle change being a must. For people just looking for the easy way out, it doesn't work. There isn't one. If there was an easy way out, don't you think everyone would be doing it? They would sell that magic pill everyone and the maker would be a billionaire. Not just that, but our nation wouldn't be battling obesity like it is today either.
You may wonder, what is the difference for the person before and after steroid use if the lifestyle hasn't changed? Haz answered this saying the person will be the same size or bigger (still fat since they will gain it all back after the cycle). What he didn't mention is that now those people may have less hair on the head (if prone to MPB) or maybe even have gyno/worse gyno (excess aromatase enzyme is normally found in people with excess adipose tissue) after running the cycle. In essence, they went from fat to being fat (or fat
ter) and bald (if prone to MPB)
.
The same can be said with using Clen/T3 or Ephedrine/Caffeine for weight loss as well except for the gyno/hair-loss side effects. The point is, principles of nutrition
must be learned and you
must be in this for the long haul. This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon.
