Since march 5th I have been on a keto diet and running ostarine 25mg's daily. So far I have only lowered my body fat percentage by about 1% since starting. I have lost about 10 LBS as well, but that is mostly water weight from me cutting carbs.
I should note that I am doing cardio like crazy- I am walking 8 miles a day and doing weight training 3x a week.
My LBM is around 145 LBS and I am 195 LBS right now. my body fat is 27.2%, down from 28.2% when I first started. I eat about 1500 kcal a day as well.
I think the Osta is making it very difficult for me to lose weight, as I thought I would have lost at least 4% body fat by now (21 days later).
I remember in previous cut cycles when I would just to lots of HITT and weights (not running anything), I would lose body fat at a much faster rate (at least according to my Omron scale). I remember some one week I went from 20% down to 17.5%, even though by the end of the week I felt like shit.
Now I am doing low intensity (walking) long distance cardio daily (8 miles) and weights as well, yet the body fat isn't peeling off as I would expect it to.
Personally I am thinking of dropping osta and not completing my originally planned 8 week run. I will be running my clomid for 3 weeks at 25mg/day for PCT.
On the plus side, I should note that I am retaining my strength surprisingly well despite my low calorie diet and the amount of cardio I am doing daily.
Can you guys give me some advice on what I should do? or is slowed fat loss normal when running an anabolic? (even though its not an aas).
