I just started the 3 week of each cycle. I am 4 days in now and up 3lbs. Water ofcourse but the pumps, endurance, and strength are all starting to kick in. If you take half a 50mg tab 30 minutes to a hour before you hit the gym and make sure to take with atleast a little food. If you take it with food and this is if you are using on 1 50mg tab a day then you should not have a problem with lose of appetite. Personally I see all the side effects like, lose of appetite, feeling sick, etc. on D-bol. But when I was dealing with all of those was when I took it on a empty stomach.
