Intersting discussion. When DrJMW said "The problem is maintaining the low fat levels; you will be fighting your genetics over the long-term" he really summed it up. Unless you want to be on strong antiestrogens (a lot stronger than Nolvadex) for the rest of your life, you will be battling female genetics to keep lower bodyfat under control. In other words you must support some type of eating disorder forever if you want lean thighs and hips forever.
As far as MCTs are concerned DrJMW, could you explain to me how these help you lose fat.........from a simplistic point of view it seems to me that giving your body a dietary fat that is easier and more preferable to burn than fat contained in "meat" (ie in our poor over fat bodies) that we will be encouraging the use of dietary fat over stored bodyfat. This sounds like a very good idea for endurance athletes looking to maximize energy production for a gruelling event, but I'm not clear how this would help the average bodybuilder looking to burn as much stored (animal) fat as they can? Hope you can enlighten me.
LA COSA, I can asure you that long term Nolvadex treatment does not produce the results in women that Duchaine proposited. If this were true then there would be a tremendous number of female breast cancer patients with very lean hips and thighs. the reality is that Nolvadex is a selective estrogen receptor blocker. These receptors are very abundant in female breast tissue but much less abundant in most womens thigh and hips. And keep in mind that Nolvadex can also be estrogenic in other tissues. Nolvadex can help with lower bodyfat in some women, but only when combined with a strict regime of dietary restriction and exercise.
