The best stack to raise the metabolism is

Lift weights to build muscle
Do cardio to keep the heart healthy and burn fat
Eat a properly planned and controlled diet.

well, i'll 'fess up: i use an ECA stack. the diet and cardio isn't doing it fast enough to keep my doctor happy.

i swear, he'd be tickled pink if i used anavar to lose this pudge, as long as the pressure gets taken off my knees.

Wouldn't work. I've been approached by my physician to consider anavar - obviously for different reasons. Oxadril (anavar - with it's new expensive name) IS a strength builder, has minimal side effects (compared to the other 'roids), the extra strength will let you build more muscle. Problem, it just isn't that effective. It has to go through the liver and is mostly removed from the body by the liver. It is used somewhat effecively in HIV/AIDS patients to help combat the muscle wasting later on in the disease (some other diseasest that cause weakness which leads to muscle atrophy too). It is also used in children with certain genetic abnormalities and very low GH levels. My doc and I read all the available accurate information together (not much REAL information). Weeded out the "steroids are bad, and steroids are good" hype, went with the real medical studies and decided it just wasn't effective enough to be worth the risk and expense.

If someone ACTUALLY needs chemical assistance - why not just bypass the liver and go with transdermal testosterone. Or a woman over 35 who likely has some REAL hormonal issues could take estratest - a very effective hormone replacement therapy.

I would not reccomend it for a single woman without access to a man or suitable replacement though.

LMAO!!!!

what i was advised by "those in the know" (who really do know their stuff) was just go with HGH to repair the damaged cartilege. test apparently doesn't do that.

from what i've read, anavar is more effective for women than men - something to do with the hormone profile.
