Androgens and Fat loss

Ok, In conversation with a few friends we were talking about fat loss / dieting while taking large amounts of androgens

A couple ideas were tossed around

The theory: Fat is attracted to or binds to estrogen

So basically it was said that it would be very difficult to lose fat if you are taking highly androgenic compounds

However I was wondering, if one was taking large amounts of anti aromatase ( thus significantly cutting down the conversion to estrogen ) it would help fat loss.

More over, one could use a highly androgenic compound like Trenbolone that is said not to convert to estrogen, but is yet androgenic


There was a lot of theory and opinions tossed around

What is your opinion?? or thoughts???
 
AAS increase metabolism by way of increasing protein synthesis. also lowering estrogen through aromatase inhibitors like fermara will reduce leptin making it harder for you to control your hunger. also there is some research that shows more fat is used for energy when estrogen in present compared to when it is deficient (it was a study of female vs male runners) the conclusion was the reason male runner use glucose for energy more than women is because they have less estrogen. now this means nothing in terms of bodybuilding and men, just a thought.
