I went to the doc for my annual thing and tol him that I was having some problems. His solution was to put me on higher estrogen bc pills. How is this going to affect my training...will it make it harder to get rid of this fat that I am still carrying around and how does estrogen impact muscle gain? I asked him and he said that he had never seen bc pills cause a woman to gain fat but he is also one of those who preaches the restricted calories and cardio til you die method of weight loss. | ||

Wow. Estrogen BC pills most often reported side effect is fat and water gain. So your doc is either an idiot or just has his head in the sand. That doesn't mean the BC pills are bad for you, just that he is wrong on that point. The Estrogen will not hinder your strength/muscle gains, but can make it harder to lose fat. But it's all a matter of degree. You can still get down to around 12% bf even on BC pills. It is just very hard to get completely shredded on them. So it depends on your goals. | ||

Yes, I agree with everyone, I am on a very sm. dosage of BC pill, and it's still hard for me to get shredded. My diet is pretty good too. Just seems I can't get that last bit of fat off of my hips and back of the legs. My question is; if I take some anavar, will that help get it off, even if I am still taking a small dosage of BC pills? | ||

Anavar will help you preserve the muscle while you diet. But to really cut, use T3 and anavar. But don't expect it to last when you go off.... ------------------ Lobo | ||

Lobo, What can I take that the results will last the longest? Are you saying that if I wasn't taking the BC pills the results would last? Thanks for your help!! Pamela | ||

From my experience the BC pills really don't do much interfering with any gear. The only thing they seem to do is keep you from getting down to them low BF numbers. What I was referring to by stacking the anavar and T3 is that it will greatly help you cut down - and this is the ticket for a show. BUT, when you go off your going to bounce back. How much you bounce is really up to you. Long term - you should always think about building more muscle. ------------------ Lobo |
