Test and Losing Weight

[grinchinit]

my friend told me running a cycle makes you lose alot of weight because you burn more calories to provide for the rapid muscle recovery/growth....

is this true?

thanks

Technically no but imo the reason most people loose fat while still eating a higher calorie diet is because when you are on steroids your body is much much better at utilizing the calories you take in...in other word your boddy is almost always in an anabolic state and would rather use any calories you take in for muscle not fat. Also remeber for every 1lb of muscle you add to your frame you will burn an extra 40-60 calories so lets say you add 15lbs of muscle thats another 900 calories a day that your body can burn. This is why it is so important to make sure you eat enouph when you are on or you wont make solid gains.
