+ 1 steroids and weight loss
Something I noticed a lot lately is people taking gear with the hopes of losing weight, but not changing their diets to meet their goals.
If any of you fall into this category remember, steroids are anabolic, meaning they make you grow, or gain weight. Although there are many good steroids to use while cutting, you should not use them as the way to cut. Use your diet and exercise to cut and the steroids to help enhance your physique by limiting muscle loss, hardening the muscles, or helping you become more vascular. Or things like tren can help increase thyroid output slightly.
I post this up because twice this week Ive spoke to a female and their boyfriend who gained weight on var and did nt think it was real due to the weight gain, which wasn't significant. I had to remind them that var is still a steroid and will still grow muscle and cause elevated glycogen retention. Weight was not a sign of body fat gained or lost. Its the anabolic steroid doing its job.

ClassyChassisFat cells have androgen receptors. Tren is very androgenic and I suspect its attachment to the AR on adipose cells has more to do with its fat burning effects than anything to do with the thyroid. Also, it does slightly increase iGF-1
Testosterone is also androgenic as is dht and its derivatives (3-4 times more so) var, winny, primo, mast... No surprise these are generally considered cutting drugs.
While androgens are the primary hormones responsible for muscle growth, they also play a part in promoting fat loss. Numerous androgen replacement studies strongly support a loss of body fat when androgen levels rise. The specific mechanism involved may be the support of catecholamine-induced lipolysis, caused by the androgen increasing the number of beta-adrenergic receptors (the primary triggers for fat mobilization) on the membrane surface of fat cells, an effect clearly demonstrated in animal models.
I'm not trying to downplay the importance of diet but to say that hormones play no role in fat loss is inaccurate.
The situation you describe happens ALL the time and if they had bothered to do ANY research they would know that anavar is intended for use with people with muscle wasting diseases and ADDs muscle which means gaining weight and getting thicker .... weight is a number that the scale tells you and is indicative of the pull of gravity on your body.. that's all ....
I'm going to +2 you for your avi. Oh and yes agree with what you're saying of course.
Thanks brother!!!
