Cellulite is mainly genetic in the sense that mainly females get it. But the real connection is high estrogen in the presence of excess calories. I think a lot of women suffer rebound cellulite post dieting due to 1) a sudden increase in estrogen; and 2) a sudden increase in calories. This...

If reducing estrogen was all that was needed to "get cut", then people with prolactinomas would be shredded since hyperprolactinemia causes low estrogen...clearly the opposite is true which should just reinforce what The Shadow said regarding the importance of diet. Put another way, to reduce...

hey Sassy, I like to call it a "strategic refeed". Sounds very scientific and palnned that way! Just like a break from the gym is called "strategic deconditioning"...

That is truly the most absurd advice I've read. Let's say you take two folks (let's make them identical twins) and put them on exactly the same diet. One of them does cardio only, and the other one burns an equal amount of energy lifting weights. Who will lose more weight?? The cardio twin...

Recent research has shown, without a doubt, that the calcium from dairy products is beneficial for fat loss in obese folks. Unless you are allergic to dairy then there is no reason to avoid it as long as the calories fit into your overall diet plan. If you are lactose intolerant then foods...

Neither of them are worth taking unless you want to raise estrogen activity. They are both estrogenic compounds in adult women. However at least Ipriflavone shifts the balance of estrogens away from the so-called "bad" estradiol to the healthier estrone, but that's prolly more important for...

I can't be a chronic condition such as in PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or can be an acute problem brought on by things such as puberty, high insulin/high carb diets, low estrogen levels etc...as important as total testosterone is free testosterone as well as the ratio of estrogen to...

"So, when u 'burn' fat, where exactly is it going. Does it get excreted?" Kinda. Fat is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (as are carbohydrates). When you "burn" fat (or carbs) it produces primarily heat or energy. The heat keeps you warm and the energy keeps you moving and thinking and...

Ummm, all I can say is a fool and her money are soon parted. Undoubtedly excess cortisol can contribute to central obesity, especially if you have a shitty high GI/high saturated fat diet, but I cannot find a single shread of scientific evidence that magnolia bark reduces excess cortisol OR...

I have used Nolva precomp (didn't make a noticeable difference). Can't see any reason to use it post cycle in women. Nolvadex is best used for prevention of estrogenic sensitive breast tissue growth (in men AND women) and really has little to recommend it beyond this. So maybe if she doesn't...

Don't know about the 6-oxo. All the estrogen in men comes from 'peripheral' aromatase activity, and this aromatase is produced mainly in fat tissue. Most of the estrogens in premenopausal women comes from ovarian aromatase activity. The other aromatase inhibitors that have been tested in...

No, it doesn't work for cutting and, in fact, most women who are given Nolva for breast cancer actually GAIN fat on it. It may be "leptinergic" in the sense that once you are already very lean (low in leptin) it could help with losing that last little bit of fat, but I wouldn't bet on it...

Yeah, is that you Old Wolf??

Yes, there is little doubt that fish oil is vastly superior to flaxseed oil as a source of EPA and DHA which are the essential fatty acids. Flaxseed oil converts to these at a very low rate. It's the EPA and DHA that directly impact on ability to burn fat.

Both Wellbutrin and bromocriptine increase my sex drive and also my partner who takes bromo for a different reason. from http://bupropion.com/wonderwell/ "At the same time Burroughs-Wellcome was hip-deep in damage control over the seizure report, the company also contracted with the Crenshaw...
