does T3 hormone (liothyronine) cause fat loss

ad

I’m new to steroids, 8 months back I took some halotestin (fluoxymesterone) and injected HCG.

I’m asking because I gained a lot of belly fat from abusing injectable drugs at the same time as taking halo pills and HCG.

Now that I’m clean and abstinent, I’d like to know if T3 tablets (liothyronine) can aid with fat loss.

And if it does, then does it also help with normalising my awkward/odd body fat composition?

Share your thoughts, I’d like to hear them Smile

T 3 never really did anything significant got me. It’s not worth the possibility of damaging your thyroid for good. Hormones are no joke so why screw with them when diet is much more effective.

One of the big issues with T3 is that it is non-selective in the tissue it burns. Fat and muscle it will eat both up. So you take T3 and burn some fat and muscle. You have just now burned off that muscle which keeps your metabolism revved up so you now have a lower metabolism and gain fat much easier now because your body doesn't consume as many calories as it used to. Doesn't sound like a good trade off. I wouldn't take T3 unless I actually had a medical condition and required it.

Makwa, shares some great insight regarding this compound, thank you for dropping the knowledge

Supplementing with T3 can cause your thyroid to not work efficiently. Also, it can have some side effects like heart palpitations and some crazy anxiety. It's not worth the risk in my opinion. Get it tested and see what's up!

I have to agree with this, not because for the exact same reasons, but because of the experience you relate to your last mis-adventure. T3 cycling is definitely more serious than just injecting oil, you are entering a realm where death by overdose is possible and you are also dealing with a substance that is dosed in micro-grams and not milli-grams. Please read the next part with belief:

You cannot change shape with a pill, the body does not 'spot' reduce. If you have an odd physique, it is because that is the way your body works, and you will have to ultimately lose all the extra fat to get the stubborn spots to go, short of life endangering medical procedures like liposuction or banding. Example, I was happy with my back and shoulder spread, but unhappy with my 43 inch waistline, but dieting reduced my back by 7-inches and my waist by 3-inches over the first 8-weeks. It took another 6-weeks to reduce the waist to 36" and that is with all the stuff you are asking about, along with more tricks, and pretty hefty cardio, but most key of all, diet plan! Please read that part... diet plan!

No drug we know of is going to give you the weight loss you describe. Most will just increase your metabolism (which is the short explanation of how T3 affects your system) and that in turn will give you heat, sweat, cramps, very likely hunger and you will just eat more, sweat a lot and suffer sides.

If you 'do' get the right combination of drugs to result in weight loss, or fat burning as you describe it, the you still will not have the isometric weight loss you desire in the time you desire. You will lose from strange spots as your body sees fit and there is nothing you can do about that, but long, planned and controlled dieting.

The good news: You 'can' achieve the shape you want, but it will likely demand a very low body fat if you are shaped "awkward/odd" to quote you, because that is just the makeup of your body. You will most likely need to get to athletic condition to see fat build up disappear from unwanted locations, just because your body chooses to sacrifice spots that are not making you happy. I am with you on this part, lost one inch on my back last week after adding one the week before and only half inch off the waistline, wishing the back has stayed big and the stomach gone down all the inches.

Plan of action: You won't likely get anyone responsible on her to help you with drugs unless you post stats, you body weight and height, plans and diet. Knowing your diet will give a lot of people great clues to help you.

Medical advice: As Halsey stated above, go see a doctor/endocrinologist to test your thyroid function, it is a pretty simple blood test to see if it may be Hypoactive (under producing) and there may well be a medically approved answer for you.

Get to know your daily calorie requirements and get a good 500 calories below that, add some cardio, choose what diet works best with your lifestyle, i.e. adkins or keto (low carb -v- low fat) and follow that path to 1lb per week safe weight loss. Also remember that drastic dieting can be as dangerous as drugs, muscle wasting, organ failure, etc., a trained dietician is a great idea. This forum has an awesome diet section, food ideas, and most all these guys can help you develop a tasty, enjoyable plan.

Best of luck!
