Main Use Active Ingredient Manufacturer
Appetite suppressant Phentermine. 3M

How does it work?

Phentermine is a weak sympathomimetic medicine which has a marked appetite-suppressant effect. It is believed that this effect is exerted through a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It may also act by increasing glucose uptake into muscle. In addition to appetite suppressing effects in the brain, phentermine may also have peripheral metabolic effects which can help weight loss, although the exact mechanism for this effect is unclear.

It is used as an adjunct to diet in patients who have not responded to an appropriate weight-redcung regimen alone.

What is it used for?

!!It may also act by increasing glucose uptake into muscle. In addition to appetite suppressing effects in the brain, phentermine may also have peripheral metabolic effects which can help weight loss,!!

She needs to lose a quick 5kg's,
She is 5'3 figure comp. in the off ses, she is natural and can d-press 25kg on any norm day but needs a little more lean size.. in the upper half. Legs need leaning as much muscle as bb chicks..

I also have a box of nolva, half a tub of liquid clen, any ideas?

give her 20mgs a day of nolva, it will knock off excess water weight and get her estrogen levels down without side effects.

lets see her diet, maybe that's the problem.

OK she started the nolva 2 day, will see how it works.
How long till you see results?
Thanks

i see results within a day or two, mind you, my estrogen levels are quite high due to the amount of test i run. if she is lean, you will see results soon.

like QOD said, post her diet, if its chocolate and popcorn than i can see why you ignored the question the first time

Diet is cool typical BB
Meat, Fish, Egg
Veggies
P-Shakes
Rice
NO Bread or gluten
No junk unless its sunday 1 or 2 snacks if were out.

I think her main probs is her estrogen level, needs more test to give the hard look......

Nolvadex is not test. it is an "anti-estrogen" compound.

how much of each macronutrient is she getting? is she getting enough EFA"s just eating fish?

Yes I know its a "anti-estrogen" , thus upping her natural test levels ?
EFA's from flax, glutimine, vit C, multi vit, cal tabs + supp's every day.
Thanks for trying to think of other ideas!
Can't get my hands on any Primo, Var or winny tabs
So I can't do much more without any risks ??
Can I??
She did a comp last year (first) but a bit soft, but was still on the pill then, been off that for 10 months now..

okay...sorry about the delayed answer, i have had some personal problems that needed attention.

what i need it her diet, broken down into macronutrients;
how much~
protein
carbs
fats

she gets in one day...

thanx

anti-estrogen compounds do NOT up Testosterone levels. what nolvadex does is BLOCKS positive estrogen receptor sites, therefore, removing excess estrogen from the body.

it does not completely remove estrogen, nor does it create testosterone.

it binds to the PERS and makes them unable to convert to estrogen.

what i asked for was a breakdown of macronutrients (around 3 times i believe) if you have no idea of how many calories she is getting a day, then i wouldn't be so quick to jump on "drugs" to assist her in losing weight/suppressing appetite.

i can look over this list without knowing her height/weight/age and know she isn't getting enough protein. there is no EFA's being consumed in her diet, which is also a no-no.

you need to be more aware of her actual macronutrient intake, not just "what" she is eating (which is not enough)

give me her age, weight and height, i will tell you how many calories of each macronutrient she should be getting in order to lose weight and tighten up.
