For the past four years, I have been doing intense research on the effects of anabolics on obesity. Current drug therapy includes: appetite suppressants (like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound) and fat blockers (like standing in front of a high-speed train hoping it will stop). These meds are "temporary" fixes; they treat symptons, but never address the problem. For argument's sake, let's call obesity anything over 25% BF in men and women. The typical blood profile of the obese: high total cholesterol, high LDL, elevated estradiol, low/suboptimal testosterone (free and total), low/suboptimal GH/IGF-1 levels, elevated insulin levels--insulin resistence. Ironically, many of these folks don't eat as much as their lean counterparts. In addition, many of them do exercise, but show virtually no results. So, what's the problem?
1. Diet--this is true. The obese are typically poor at utilizing carbohydrates, for they suffer from insulin resistence. Once the diet changes to a low carb/high protein intake, the obese function better. They actually make excellent use of fatty acids and ketones. The brain and kidney gets its 30g carb requirement from the glycerol when triglycerides are broken down; everything else can use Fatty acids and Ketones
2. Exercise--The obese are wasting their time doing only treadmill, elliptical climber, stairclimber, etc and avoiding resistence training. They should be doing the opposite. High intensity aerobics require CARBS, something the obese can't utilize. They are better off doing low-intensity weight training and low-intensity aerobics (walking and light climbing). The obese are losing muscle every time they get into a high-intensity workout and wonder why they are still fat after losing 40 lbs. (reading the scale)
3. Prescription Meds--with diet alone, the obese will correct their cholesterol problem. Their insulin resistence won't matter much, for they are not taking in any appreciable carbs. But, I would like to see the "former" obese becomes today's supra-healthy individual. Optimizing test and GH/IGF-1 levels--along with proper diet and exercise program--will "magically" reduce fats levels to leaner percentages, decrease insulin resistence, and decrease estradiol levels.
Research shows that optimization of Test and GH/IGF-1 levels takes care of the rest of the systems--basal metabolic rate goes up (higher T3 levels); decreases insulin resistence so the carbs get to the muscle tissue, not the adipose tissue; and normal lipolysis occurs. "Diet" doctors need to take a closer look at using Test/AAS and GH as tools for treating obesity rather than treating the symptoms with appetite suppressants, fat blockers, thyroid pills, glucophage, antiestrogens, etc. Thanks to our bodybuilding friends and AIDS patients, this information is very clear and needs to be investigated.
