I’m a 5ft 6in male, 53 years old at 157 pounds. I do running and cycling but over the past two years I have gained over 15 pounds of ugly fat mostly around my abdomen. I’m currently taking doctor prescribed Clomid, 25mg eod due to T numbers that tested at 325 and 305 in two different blood tests. This was a month ago and I immediately started the Clomid. I have not yet had the follow up blood work. My BP is typically about 115/70. I do cardio three times a week, usually running, and strength training twice per week. I have no health problems beyond the T issue and am on no other meds. A lot of this seems to correlate with a new job that has me commuting over 2.5 hours per day, so less time to train and more time sitting on my ass in the car. Could be a coincidence.
I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this; trying to lose that new fat. My maintenance cals are 1,700 and I have been eating 1,200, and doing this for several months. Nothing seems to change. Normally I would tell someone they are cheating on their calorie intake, but I track mine with MyFitnessPal carefully and while I have an very occasional small cheat I am in deficit. I try to get 45% of my cals from protein and the rest at about 25% each fat and carbs.
I’m very anxious to lose this fat so I can improve my efficiency. So...
Looking over the options, I have concerns about DNP. Less about dying and more about finding a clean source and, even more important, keeping the side effects hidden from my daughter and GF. I don’t want them knowing about any of this. I admit if I could solve those problems I would try it, but maybe a less harsh option first. Two other options seem to be Clen and Albuterol. From what I have read here, it seems that Albuterol is less harsh and as effective as Clen and might even promote strength and endurance.
I read the generic writeup on this site about Albuterol with its dosing recommendations and about what to take with it to keep it effective. It seems that if I use it correctly it could help me lose a pound a week, assuming I eat right and keep up the cardio, with minimum drama. Its also a pill or liquid, which I prefer. And it's a pharm product so if I get it domestically it seems low risk.
I’m wondering if there is a better option I’m not aware of, and if not, whether it would impact the Clomid or vice versa. Also, for a guy my weight is the dosage recommended correct? Any comments about my analysis and suggestions are appreciated, thanks!
