Weight Loss no exercise, increased Androgens lower stress hormones the cause?
-
Has anyone else experienced weight loss from taking androgen promoting and stress reducing supplements such as progesterone and androsterone without working out.
Past month i have barely done anything but go from my home to my office (very unlike me) think I've done 2 workouts and one 2 hour walk.
I have been taking 5-10mg of androsterone per day along with 40-80mg of progesterone. I have noticed that despite this very sedentary couple of months I have not put on any weight if anything I look like I may have lost a bit of weight.
My libido is also sky high. Anyone else had this experience?

@Verdad For sure, when I had my wife start on pregnenolone she lost water weight and put on muscle. IIRC haidut posted on the other forum some time ago that it's (mainly?) the cortisol blocking properties of anabolic steroids that makes them desirable. I've been doing experiments along these lines and have considered doing a write-up; not anabolics per se but what combos I noticed as most effective, dose timings etc.

@NotShanalotte Thanks for sharing NotShanalotte. Yes i've heard Haidut say that. Might be a personal question but did you or your wife notice any libido increase with pregnenolone. I have often had issues with pregnenolone such as heart palpitations that I never had with progesterone.

@Verdad I didn't notice any, but she did. FWIW as I healed I had heart palpitations from nearly everything that has a healing effect, calcium, vitamin D, preg, progesterone, DHEA, the list goes on.
