Approved Log My post probably fake anavar cycle

[Canadian123]

The quick and dirty. I did some anavar to fix a long lasting surgical wound that wouldn't heal, even after 3 surgeries to help it heal. Supplier says it's good and the mix with my bcp made me gain about 17 pounds in 4 weeks. We'll see what the roid test says. Anyways, now I've got to get back to where I was and hopefully lose this extra 10-15 I've been packing around for 5 years. I'm 40, 5'7 and 149lbs. (141 at beginning of July before the var and 156.4 three days ago, post var.) to be totally honest, I did the anavar with the hopes of healing, ate like shit and didn't train. Fitness wasn't my goal. Healing was. Now, in attempts to regain my shape and health, I am going to attempt a high protein keto type diet. Should I attempt carnivore? Keto? Is there something better? I am heavily addicted to sugar, my sleep is shit, my hormones a mess. I am fairly active but don't train. With two kids and a business and two houses I rarely shower, nevermind go to the gym. For now I want to focus on nutrition and ill get to the training when the kids are back to school in Sept. I hold a lot of weight in my abdomen, so losing that would be great. Besides bcp, I take magnesium, NAC, and methylated b vitamins (I have a mthfr mutation, single allele) my mood, motivation and give a f#$& are rather low. I am trying to improve this. Overall, my diet isnt terrible, but rather... Healthy with a decent amount of terrible mixed in. I eat a whopping dose of sugar and carbs daily but have kept myself off 'my 600 pound life' thanks to my love of fruits and veg, and dislike of fast food. Any tips for motivation, nutrition, hormones is greatly appreciated. I have been pretty healthy and fit my whole adult life (lots of weights and gym) except for recently (second kid was a doozy, and no one slept for 3 years) . I tend to use the home gym and weights a lot in the cold, long, Canadian winter. I can lift a decent amount with my arms and can easily throw up over 200 lbs in a hip trust.Everything else is weak. Currently, I get most of my exercise from building, renovating, chasing my kids, and walking. On a random note. I've been diagnosed with ASD. Everyone I've told has say the same thing. You're too *smart* well spoken * pretty * friendly * social*normal* to have autism. But here I am. I have a lot of the physical issues that go along with it (POTS, digestive issues, joint hypermobility, skin issues, hyper and hypo sensitivity from body temp regulation to pain from standing it sitting, and life long sleep issues. I can dislocate my hips at will, bend in pretty much any position and put my feet behind my head. I also have pmdd, and seem extra sensitive to hormonal changes. Maybe that's why I bloated do bad on steroids? Would love to hear from any other ASD'ers!

@Canadian123 great that you started this, well done.

You dont have to go to the gym to workout, we can set up a 10 min training HIIT at home per day.

Lets start with your diet, please post your meal foods and what you eat and when you eat it, so we can see it.
If you don't log what you eat now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.

also a before picture with face blurred is a good start

dont worry we are not here to judge you, we will do our best to guide you into the best shape and results of your life

Regardless of if the Anavar was fake or not it doesn't help if your not on a diet and working out. The idea of steroids is that they help maintain muscle in a caloric deficit and build muscle when properly working out in a caloric surplus. The steroid itself does nothing to your weight, the diet is your weight. Yes all the fancy diets out there can make you loose weight, but if it isn't something sustainable you will end up yo-yo dieting at best. Whay you need is a lifestyle change with your diet. These are small incremental steps to get you on a healthy path forward, but each step is something you can maintain indefinitely. Workouts need to be consistent. If you can only do one day a week right now that is fine, but do it consistently. Unfortunately most people don't like the long path to weight loss and want to see results now. If you do a diet that is not maintainable then you need a plan once the diet is over that is.

I will start a food log. I will ask my surgeon if I am cleared for hiit type training yet.

While I agree I should have had a cleaner diet, again I did this due to a surgical injury/wound and am still not cleared for exercise or lifting anything for 5 pounds. (last surgery was July 5, less than 5 weeks ago) So working out, besides walking and basic life required movement wasn't really an option. You are totally right with the diet things. I've done a number of them and never can maintain consistency. I am going to make a food log and see where my deficiencies are as to why I struggle so much with sugar. My guess is my protein intake is way too low.

And just so you don't think I was a total slug while on var, I did want to post a few of my fit bit dailies. I move a lot and do a lot of elevation as our property is really steep.
