I do crossfit

[Vicksprimed]

So I would I'm pretty active. I (try) to run 3 miles a day. I (try) to go to crossfit 3x a week. Some weeks are better than others. I (try) to watch what I eat but let's face it, we're human.

Here's the thing... I have a gut ( I like to call it my inner tube around my waist) and my thighs are huge.

I've heard around the rumor mill that steriods might help with my trouble areas.

I'm not trying to get skinny. I'm not worried about my "weight" I'm worried about how I look naked (yes, I went there)

I just wanna lean out... I wanna drop 20lbs of FAT

I'm assuming that most of you know what you're talking about. Help a girl out

Troll??

Stop trying, start doing, don't even think about gear. 3 miles a day, and 3x a week xfit should be more than enough to drop that " tire tube" your diet needs work. Post your diet for critique

Log everything. Allow one 4 hour cheat window a week. Increase load progressively.

Steroids arent the answer to fatloss, nutrition is. Clean up your diet and if its clean the your likely deficient in nutrients for optimal health. I dont care what anyone says, its impossible to get what we need from food alone.

Ever see "Empire Strikes Back?"

Do or do not, there is no try.

Stop looking for a miracle quick fix.

steroids really do not cut fat. even if you look up steroid charts online you will see that. steroids are mass builders, the fact you are a female and don't have your diet in check is a red flag that you most certainly should NOT mess with these very serious male hormones. the consequences could be disastrous for you!
if you ask ANY of our vet/mod females on here they would not approve of you wanting a quick fix like steroids.

I would be happy to help you with your diet, just give me a PM. also I can suggest some supplements to aid in appetite suppression. forged burner from NTBM is a safe one for example

You guys are thinking that I'm looking for a quick fix or that my diet is poor...

I'm 75% paleo and I eat pretty clean.

I've done some research into Anavar and it seems like majority of female athletes use that one

well your first post you said you try to eat well but we're human, and that you have a gut.

unfortunately there is no such thing as spot training, you really have to reduce your total body fat

anavar females will use at a low dose yes, but I won't lie to you and say its going to solve your problems.

Steroids make you gain weight or help to retain the muscle you've already built, while cutting. If you aren't eating at a deficit while taking steroids you will gain weight. Not cut fat like you want. That comes down to making healthy choices and sticking to your deficit.
Not to mention the side affects. You WILL have side affects, you can't choose which ones you get so you must be aware of what could happen and be ok with some of them potentially being permanent.

If your diet was as clean as you say, you shouldnt have this spare tire. you may be eating paleo, but are your calories in check? Post diet/progress pics, for evaluation, then once you have that figure we can talk drugs.

post seems a bit "troll'ish" doesn't it? if not, no offense...

 

[travishibachi]

Try GW from sarms1....it will help with lowering body fat while maintaining muscle since it's anti-catabolic. Gear is definitely not the way to go, girl. And paleo works for some but not for others. Have you thought about a targeted ketogenic diet (TKD) instead of paleo? Carbs aren't evil but they cause problems if you don't eat them correctly. Just a thought. The leanest I ever got was when I was carb cycling and I got down to like 5% body fat which is pretty damn low.

 

[Vicksprimed]

Thank you guys for all your input. This is something that crossed my mind and isn't something I'll do in the immediate future. Just doing research

Like I said, I eat pretty clean and have a good workout routine.

You guys have any advice on supplements to give me a little boost

Hmmm what's GW? I'm interested in any supplements that can help me cut fat. The working out and eating clean aren't an issue. I'll do two-a-days if I knew the end result with the supplement would work.

I feel like I've plateaued :-/

"Pretty clean" means nothing. How many calories are you eating? Macros? How do you track these? Have you lost any weight?

To be honest, most supps are crap. A good multi, fish oil and creatine (if you respond to it) are sufficient. "Diet" pills and "fat" burners are pretty much just caffeine and diuretics, save your money. The only thing that may help suppress appetite while dieting is an EC stack. But again, cutting fat is 90% diet.

On the contrary IF he does eat clean/paleo and is an avid gym goer and still has a spare tire the answer is obviously a hormone issue. Likely underfunctioning thyroid perhaps with some adrenal fatigue thrown in. High cortisol and estrogen levels coupled with low T3 levels often result in stubborn belly fat for men.

Steroids will only make the issue worse. The body needs the nutrients to fix the problem and your not going to get it from food alone.

remember its a she .. the OP is a female!

oops my bad, but my comments still apply. Generally speaking men will hold fat on abs/chest, women generally thighs but thats just a generality.

If the op even eats remotely clean and exercises as much as she says she does losing fat shouldn't be a difficult task and if it is there are likely hormonal issues.

The web is full of personal testimonials from people who have tried every diet and every exercise program under the sun for years and still cant easily alter their body composition. Sure, many of them are simply slackers but many of them suffer nutritional deficiencies which dont allow for their body to function optimally and the result is stubborn fat.

THANK YOU! Yes it's a constant battle I've been fighting my whole life. I went from 188 to 150 but sadly I'm back up to 165. I don't count calories. I eat clean and eat well. I'm human and have a cheat day here and there.

I take fish oil. Drink Progenx pre-workout & protein. I WORK OUT. I'm not one of these slackers that are looking for a quick fix.

My boyfriend takes Deer Antler but that's for guys... Is there anything along those lines for girls?

You dont need special fancy supplements or drugs. What you simply need is the essential nutrients your body is missing.

One of the most common issues associated with inability to lose fat is from an underfunctioning thyroid. Please note I am not saying your thyroid is "broken" because if it was your labs would come back with T3 values outside of lab range.

What I am saying is simply that your thyroid is not functioning as efficiently as it could. Total T3 ranges are around 1.2-3.1 nmol/L for adults and just a couple tenths of a point can make a HUGE different in your whole body metabolism.

Wo why would your thyroid not be functioning up to snuff? Because its missing the nutrients needed to support the creation of the thyroid hormones you need for optimal performance.

Iodine is a main ingredient in the thyroid hormones. One particular orthomolecular doc I follow claims 95% of his many thousands of patients are deficient in iodine. Thats a pretty large pool to collect data from and a lot larger than most studies use in the big time journals.

Next, the body requires selenium for the enzyme thats used to convert T4 to T3 and selenium is also used for the creation of glutathione peroxidase which quenches the hydrogen peroxide and free radicals created by the creation of thyroid hormones.

Both selenium and iodine are very rare in foods and deficiencies are common.

 

[imakneegrow]

maybe raspberry ketones

multi
b-complex
whole/clean foods
lots of water... then more water
40-60 min of good cardio per session with some weight/resistance training after, maybe focus on complex movements vs isolation

should be working but if no results and/or still lack of energy then may need blood test and see a Dr

What are your thoughts on the Thyroid health supplement containing Iodine derived from kelp? The dose per tablet is 160mcg. There is one here marketed by Dr Sandra Cabot & it also contains selenium. My interest is more to do with usage for prostate health than weight loss.

Not a fan of kelp derived iodine. The body needs both iodine and iodide at at levels much higher that 160mcgs a day. Additionally there is so much pollution in the sea im a bit leery of the source.

Halides (bromine, flourine, chlorine etc) inundate us every day in the foods we consume. Those halogens compete with iodine and are taken in in MUCH larger amounts than the paltry iodine we get from food.

I would recommend lugols liquid solution or iodarol tablets, both are a combination of iodine/iodide. Personally im taking 50mg (note thats milligrams, not micrograms) daily and the fat is melting off. More energy, better skin tone etc.

Take an iodine loading test with bromid toxicity if you want to see where you sit. Dr Brownstein says for his patients it takes an average of 6-12 months at 50mg's per day to reach whole body sufficiency. After that you can cut back to a maintenance dose which is still usually double digets in mg per day.

At 160mcg daily you are not giving your body what its needs daily so you will never reach sufficiency. Your also going to likely need 200-400mcg a day of selenium.

Thanks Bro appreciate your time and knowledge. There is a vendor on e bay doing the lugols and selenium as a package deal Best Regards
