: I am not saying that your friend did not loose 8 pounds

: that did it to him? There are too many variables involved to be able to
: say why he lost the weight. Maybe it was because he trained harder and
: had a better diet while on the drugs. Personally I agree with Big Canuk.
: Anabolic steroids do not make you burn fat. There is no reason why the should also.
: They do not speed up metabolism. Nor do they have a thermogenic effect. Almost
: all steroids are derivitives of testosterone which has no fat burning effects what so
: ever which would lead me to believe that any drugs that are directly related to it would
: do the same. If you are so sure that they did assist in fat loss then why don't you explain to us
: why.
I agree with Canuk also but, the juice does increase BMR becuase it has to covert protein to muscle at a faster rate
than it normally does. Since the BMR is increased then fat burning will increase. Almost all the juice boys I know only
lose a little fat during bulking. If the guy was using AS and dieting then I could see the big fat loss. Tanman never
stated weither the guy was bulking or cutting. Big differece. Anyone know that with AS and the right diet you can drop fat
and put on muscle. The two together make a big difference.
Tanman I wouldn't be so quick to blast folks like Canuk. He knows his stuff. What if you need his help later? Why burn bridges?
If you disagree then be cival here. You get a lot more respect that way. I'd hate for this board to turn into a war zone like
Faith Sloans.
