Is my moon face caused by fat or water?

**beachbuff** · 09-11-2007, 05:14 PM

I know for a fact that I get moon face during my AAS cycle. However, for some odd reason, after doing my PCT and 2 months later, my face still somewhat moon face. It does not get back to normal. Note that I did gain some fat on my middle-section as well. I had too much fun this summer... let's just say too much action, food and beer at the beach.

So, either three things that could cause this problem, I think:

1. Water retention even after 3 months off the cycle

2. Fat on the face and mid-section

3. Liver problem

I do hope it's NOT #3. Did I also tell you I'm a hypocondriac? =)

Let me know if you have experienced this before and it is normal.

How is your diet ?? ( also sodium intake? ) These can be a factor..

Merc,

Actually, I really don't watch my salt intake at all. However, I would say my sodium intake is moderate. It is the same amount when I never took AAS. I'm just wondering, if it is water retention, why is it lingering for so long even after 3 months from the cycle.

Yea sounds like it might fat that you gained on your cycle..

Are you doing a solid cardio routine??

Merc,

I was also thinking it is fat.

Solid Cardio Routine? NO, not at all.

I was under the impression that I shouldn't do aerobic workouts when on a bulking cycle. So, I ended up bulky like the "Michelin Man" or the "Marshmallow Man" from Ghostbusters.

Actually, I've posted a new question "To cardio or not to cardio. That is the question...." because I am starting my 3rd cycle and this time I'm thinking of incorporating a serious 4 times a week 30 minute aerobic workout. I'm wondering if that is OK while on AAS.

I just don't want to end-up like that infomercial guy "John Basedow." He looks like a muscle anorexic.
