Hypothyroidism and my diet and a few related questions to my test cyp and cytomel

Hi! I'm 5'5/180/25% on a cut.
I am on a low carb diet M-TH(240P,100C,70F=1990cals) FRI HIGH CARBS(200P,350C,30F=2470cals) SAT + SUN MODERATE (240P,240C,30F=2370cals)
Cardio=5x/week at 45mins either post workout or empty stomach depending on my availablity.
Train all body parts like this

Chest/bis (cardio, abs)
Legs (no cardio, abs if possible)
OFF (Cardio and abs)
Shoulder tris (Cardio and abs)
OFF (Cardio and abs)
Repeat

I'm muscular and dieting down for a photo shoot and a cruise. This time I'm on 200mg cyptionate/week and arimidex 1mg (MWF). I have high estrogen so this is all being done with a low T clinic.
I'm also on 50mcgs cytomel however I have hypothyroidism making it very difficult to lose weight. I drink 2 gallons of water daily with BCAAs no sugar added. I also supplement with a potent multi, B12, vitamin d3 50,000 units once per week and I'm also on steroid.com's legal steroids TEST 600x and their CLEN.

Their ingredients can be found here anabolics.com/pages/ingredients
I also have some Clenbuterol from RUI but am still to try it out.

Here are my questions.
1) What do you guys think?
2) I also have more armour thyroid on hand left over from my prior prescription that I don't want to go to waste. Could I use it? Armour Thyroid is T4 and T3. I have 60mcg pills. This second question is of vital importance.
3) I want to get ripped fast. I'll do anything except DNP which I have tried when I was a teenager.

I want the fastest way possible. Remember I'm a great looking guy dieting down for a photo shoot. I've training experience and train like a madman.

Any tips appreciated.

4) Since CLEN from steroid.com contains synephrine I'm worried that the real clen I'm about to receive won't work.
Should I discontinue? How can I safely take benadryl to clear my receptors? I'd rather take that than KETO for availability issues and price.

Thanks for reading. Please help me get ready for this!

Oh and
5) Is cheating necessary or is the cyclical aspect of this okay?

1. I think the words RIPPED and FAST don't belong in the same sentence. You state that you have experience and train like a madman, keep doing what you're doing. Shortcuts often provide shortcut results. You're trying to throw so many things at this, it's going to be next to impossible to determine what is and isn't working for you. I don't know what your body fat goals are, but with what you're doing - you should see some results.

2. T4 does very little for you when taking T3 as T3 shuts down your thyroid. Unless you want to end up flat and catabolic, I wouldn't mess with going supraphysiological with the thyroid hormones. I learned the hard way that anything over 60mcg (it will vary from person to person) defeats the purpose of trying to maintain muscle and lean out. In my opinion, I wouldn't go with adding in the armour.

3. See #1. Can you crash diet down with just lemon juice, honey, and ACV? Sure, but you'll look like shit.

4. Clenbuterol from RUI is REAL clen; synephrine is also a stimulant, but not nearly as potent in how it works on the beta adrenergic receptors. I have no idea why you're taking test boosters with actual testosterone either; you can't do anything (they don't work for shit anyway) to a suppressed HPTA - which those cypionate shots are doing.

5. You're carb cycling which works, but I'd personally go full ketogenic as it's less upkeep in trying to budget macros around and works very well. It still comes down to meeting your macro needs and being at a sufficient deficit, which either diet will do. I'm far from a diet guru, so if someone else wants to attack your specifics, I'll bow out of that one.

I get the feeling that you're trying to rush things too quickly. Anyone that has been at it long enough will tell you that results take time. This counts for both weight loss and putting on lean mass. By the way, being hypothyroidic means nothing if you're treating it - aside from potential adrenal issues, like cortisol.

My .02c :)
 
Thanks halfwit. This diet was given to me by an IFBB bodybuilder who is helping me train. i know him personally. As far as the keto diet, I've tried CKD before.
Any specific links you recommend so I can consider it?
Not rushing things; instead, I have a sense of urgency in making SURE my regimen is on point.
Other opinions are also appreciated.
Another question: Are my dosages good for cypionate and dex? (Dex=1mg MWF (prescribed by a HRT clinic for my estrogen levels) and (cyp=200mg/wk).
Thanks
 
Welcome to the forum!

few pointers:
bnidryl is not very useful, i would get keto from RUI and use that with the clen.
I would not use both "Clens" at same time, pick one.
I would rec way less AI, typically 0.25-0.5mg eod is enough for people ON cycle on the area of 500mg ew so i am pretty sure you are taking too much AI on just 200mg ew.
I pref carb cycling myself and do rec the "cheat" day.
I also rec not going too high on the thyroid meds. not worth it IMO.
i also rec starting low on the clen, 40mcg ed and move up from there (i didnt need to pass 80mcg myself, some use more , some use less, i rec least amount needed)

good luck

Atkins has a ton of material on the internet regarding ketogenic dieting. It's essentially dropping carbs to under 20g per day and going into full ketosis. The first week or two suck for most folks, but after that it's pretty smooth sailing once you figure out what foods are safe, and which aren't.

Good. I'm very glad to hear that the desperation is regarding being good to go instead of blasting through results. You'll be MUCH happier this way. :)

What do your blood test results look like regarding estradiol? 3mg a week is a shit ton for even a gram of test, so unless you have hyperactivity of the aromatase, I'd wonder what your clinic is smoking. I like juced's suggestions regarding dosing.

Thanks halfwit and thanks to everybody for the welcome.
I appreciate your candor. I hate low carbs (keto style) because I feel like I just injected heroin. But if it's higher fat then I'd be cool with that. Just hate that I bought so many red potatoes and oat bran to get ready for this cut. I might just give cycling carbs for now because of this reason. Also, for financial reasons I want to stick with the benadryl. Is this an unsafe or unwise choice?

Anyway here are my blood levels pre cycle:
Please especially note the high homocysteine levels and vitamin d3 deficiency. I am taking NAC 600mgs twice per day, vitamin d3 50kunits once per week, methylguard vitamin, a potent powder multivitamin, glutamine, bcaas, test cyp 200mgs, t3 cytomel at 50mcgs per day split in 25 mcgs doses (or 2x per day).
Also my LH is very high and the HRT doc told me that arimidex would aid in burning fat. True?
