My Pappy Once Said, "Don't Get On The Train If'en Ya Don't Where It's Going
What with all the recent evens with the Thin Board I though it might be a good
time to go over a few philosophical points and the reasoning behind the quest to
drop fat.
Chemicals such as T3, DNP, ECA, lasex, and the multitude of other
drugs are not bad, good, or indifferent. Often I’ve stated this very same about
steroids. Fat/weight loss drugs are a tool, an option, a choice. Used wisely,
with purpose, and with CLARITY OF MIND, they can assist in achieving goals.
That being said, I am going to say a few things that I think 80% of you forget:
1. THEY WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
2. The benefits of using such fat/weight loss drugs only work WHILE YOU USE THEM, and often only for a limited time.
3. As soon as you “go off” YOU WILL REBOUND.
4. These chemicals will not remove ONE SINGLE FAT CELL!!
5. You will, in fact, be more prone to rebound to a HIGHER fat percentage once you have lost the weight and stop the drug use.
Now don’t get me wrong. For specific goals of a LIMITED time frame they can
work wonders. If you have a show, photo shoot, or other event with MONITARY
repercussions then these will, and do work - very well I might add, and should
be in ones arsenal. Trying to drop 15 pounds for that trip to the Bahamas does
not justify using DNP or some such. Getting down and trying to maintain your
bodyfat % in the low teens or into the single digits just to “look good” is NOT
justification for using these sorts of drugs in my book. And please folks, let’s
not go off on a tangent about certain medical conditions (thyroid comes to
mind). I’m fully aware that some folks do have certain situations, don’t make me
waste board space on that rancid argument.
For more permanent changes, you need to change your LIFE STLYE. First and
foremost, before you even think about where and who to buy from, you really need to sit down in front of mirror and think about what you’re trying to do. You
need to think about the long term. You need to think about what is best to do
now, and in the near future, which will benefit you the most down the road.
What will have the most positive effect on your body (and mind) a year from now,
two years from now?? I can assure you that DNP, T3, ECA, Lasex, and the like
are NOT on that list.
So what should be on that “list”? What can you do now and in the future? Well
good Ladies, it’s something you all ready know - It’s proper nutrition,
combined with a solid weight lifting program, with some cardio tossed in as
needed. This, and this alone, is the path to SUSTAINED results. It is a LIFE
STYLE and for many it is well over due. Think about it, if you can’t get rid
of the fat without the drugs, what the hell makes you think you can keep it off
once you stop using the drugs??? Don’t kid yourselves. Sure, you might hang in
there for a few weeks. But if you don’t change your habits, you’re just walking
on a long plank and time you ain’t got. For heaven’s sakes don’t try to toss me
no BS about how you will change your habits DURING or AFTER you drop a few
pounds…. COME ON, please, do my posts make me look THAT DUMB!?!?! (MS and W6 are not allowed to respond - as well as any of the Mods ) Good grief, that
is like my six year old nephew telling me that if I would just give him $20 he
will prove that he can start saving money. Bwaahahaaaaaa!!
We all know that there are more than a few women on the board that are involved
in the BBing sport on some level, and have a few more that deal with the photo
side (or both). But for the rest of us – the other 90%, we should all take
inventory of what the heck we are doing and why.
Look, I can tell you all where to go get damn near anything, how to use it, what
the best dose is, and a 1000 other things you can use/do to get to where you
want to go in the safest manner I know. But the bottom line, the last word, and
what I feel this board is truly about, is something you all have already. It
doesn’t cost much, and will make your life much more enjoyable – and hopefully
LONGER:
It’s proper nutrition, combined with a solid weight lifting program, with some
cardio tossed in as needed.
So I hope you each take this to mind the next time you e-mail me, another mod,
or any of the vets asking about the best and quickest chemical path for weight
loss. Mods, vets, I hope you take the person to task should you get such a
question and remember the life your advising on the other end of the computer is
not your own. Long term results don’t happen with quick fixes.
