Cytomel or cyto-HELL?

westeze13 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-09-2003, 05:16 AM

I have heard and read that cytomel is excellent for shredding body fat. I am interested in trying it, but I also know that the thyroid is not something to be messed with. I have had blood tests recently and my thyroid levels were normal, but I still have a low metabolism. If I were to use cytomel, does anyone think it would turn me into a basket case or cause any other problems mentally or emotionally. I really need some good advice b/c I don't want to end up f'd up in the head. Thanks.:help:

coming from a sports med. background I believe no one has a low or slow metabolism. the reason I say this is because I wieghed 300lbs at the age of 16 and by the time I was 18 I changed my life style and was 205 and very healthy. Your life style probabilly needs looking at. like your diet and amount of activity. you can change your body if you work for it. remember from the day we are born we are deageing and we know that we can slow the proccess. eat foods that speed cal burning and change your life style. it isn't easy!

good luck

it won't fuck you up in the head... but honestly, it will make you hot, and it can speed you up quite a bit... cytomel speeds up the metabloism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates to a great extent..... it will eat away any hard earned muscle too...i still think it eats them even while on AAS... despite what is said contrary... to a lesser degree though. I don't believe T3 to be healthy... maybe T4, or triacana to be healthier choices... and less catabolic...

T3 is extreme for dieting... without mass loss...

I totally agree with Ryubrir ---- only I would take .25 mcg's if I was taking Gh and slin.
