Having loss of appetite -> -> -> loss of strength in the gym (especially press)

[ramacher]

So lately I have been sleeping in a lot and when I wake up I don't have really any appetite, and this is affecting my workouts, especially my pressing exercises (like chest). What can I do to fix this?

Stats:

Is there anything in your life affecting your mood? Wife/gf, work, school, stress?

[ramacher]

Im in school and wanting to cut down my weight. So you would think it would be a blessing to have no appetite, and I am taking 200mcg t4 ED as well and 75/75/50 of test p, mast a, tren a ED, but my mood and strength in the gym hasn't been the same.

How long ago did u start your cycle? Changed your diet lately? Mood changes a lot of things and can have a great affect in the gym. Or at least that's how it works for me. Sure nothing's going on?

[PurpleOnes]

Just eat your food and think of it from perspective, how is this going to benefit me?

Althought , if your on cycle it could be mood swings , like Dr.Pepper said.

[ramacher]

Yeah what I am going to try to do is get up a little earlier in the morning and eat a bigger breakfast with carbs. I have been restricting carbs way too much and I think that might be the problem.

Why are you taking 200mcg of T4 ED? Even with the AAS, this could be your problem.

[ramacher]

what would the 200mcg of T4 have to do with mood swings and no appetite? I understand I am trying to cut my bf down and this could affect my lifts, but what else does it affect?

[Sgt. Hartman]

The T4 could definitely affect your appetite as well as many other functions - the thyroid regulates how quickly and efficiently the body burns fuel from food and turns it into energy.

Why are you taking T4 anyway? It is the inactive thyroid hormone and must be converted to T3 for the fat loss results I'm assuming you want. Much of the T4 we produce naturally is converted to T3 but adding more T4 does not increase T4 to T3 uptake above what it would be naturally so your body is probably converting the same amount you would be naturally anyway. In other words, all you're doing is suppressing your TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) by adding exogenous T4 without getting any of the benefits of enhanced thyroid function. I bet your TSH numbers are ridiculously low right now - thyroxine is prescribed and works very efficiently at suppressing TSH in people diagnosed with hyperthyroidism.
