theory on why certain steroids seem to burn abdominal fat

ad

i recently went to get my bodyfat measured in preperation for an upcoming cycle and was told i hold most of my bodyfat in the midsection as my legs and upper body are lean the personal trainer who measured my bf said the reason why my bf is round the midsection is due to high cortisol levels so my theory would be that some steroids reduce cortisol levels more than others therefore reducing more trunk fat than others

ps i know diet and exercise is the fundemental key to fatloss but does anyone else wanna add their 2 cents

Perses is right. i try and think of fat burning as a chemical reaction in the body. most people try and look at it like " if i eat less, i burn fat". but here is the problem with that kind of thinking. if the right enzymes are not being produced by the body, fat burning wont happen. when a bodybuilder just begins their contest preparation their metabolism is roaring and weight flies off. however, when they are 12 weeks into contest preparation, their body chemistry has changed significantly and their body wont let them burn any more fat and they are eating much less. if enzymes are not present the reaction can not be catalyzed.

There are certain AAS compounds that are conclusive to fat Burning but AAS on a whole sucks as a fat reduction, 75% of what we do is diet and Cardio. I highly believe that your fat reduction is not attributed to your AAS usage.
