Labs are "normal," but still a lot of abdominal fat.

[prudens]

Guys,

So I'm about 18% bf. Mostly around my abs. So my question is, I'm on T4 (Synthroid). And my labs are "normal," can I ask the doc to get me some T3 (Cytomel) for reasons being I want to lose abdominal fat, given my labs are "normal"?

Thanks

Prudens,

This is the fourth (I think?) thread you've posted about fat. I honestly think you should hit up 3J and hire him to set up a diet for you. If you have normal labs, that likely means your problem lies in your diet and the fact you're recovering from hypogonadism. You can reach him at his site 3J's Nutrition | Diet and fitness consulting to get you to the next level. . I can recommend him as I have personally used him on a cut/recomp and have seen FANTASTIC results. Gains/losses are made in the kitchen my friend; start there and then supplement - not the other way around.

having normal blood levels doesn't automatically mean you will lose weight... i wish it were that easy!!

your diet is the major contributing factor in what your weight will be and how low your bodyfat goes...

Email him regardless. He's a human being and an amazing member/contributor/moderator to the forums here, I'm sure helping another person meet their goals is more important than a few bucks to him and he can work out pricing issues with you. I too can vouch for 3J, I ran one of his diets last year and still can use it to this day just by altering quantities. The service you get from 3J will melt Fat off you faster than T3, provided you follow his instruction. Think of 3J as your own personal fat loss/muscle building genie, rub him in that 'oh so special way/become a customer' and your fat loss wishes will turn reality.

You are probably over estimating your basal metabolic rate or total daily energy expenditure. It happens all the time. Having a weak thyroid just means your metabolism is slower, so eat less and try again.
