Has anybody used these to help in fat loss? I think I remember reading somewhere awhile ago that many women tried, but the results were not as good as expected. Any truth to this?
Yup. Anti-estrogens are good when your natural estrogen level is already pretty low (such as post menopausal or very low bodyfat levels). Otherwise the results are less than stunning. It' kinda like trying to extinguish a volcano with a garden hose.....
I can't tell you exactly how low. Low enough that your body stops menstrating and your ovarian estrogen production has fallen. Arimidex prolly won't help much before this stage either. This is why Arimidex is not given to premenopausal women with breast cancer. As long as the ovaries are churning estrogen out, we're fighting a losing battle IMHO.
