Deca question

[gunnery]

My original question was posted in the new member section on accident so refer to that but basically I'm 56 6 ft 3, 245 lb probably my 5th cycle I'm running deca 300 a week and 600 test e a week I'm also on ozemic for diabetes I'm not able to do cardio due to back injuries but I'm able to lift pretty seriously so I've been gaining a lot but I'm putting on too much belly fat which I have a proclivity for I started out at about 16 to 18% and I'm now probably about 34% body fat I need a little help with my diet obviously I can't eat very well because of the Olympic but here's my meal plan basically

1 1/3 cup oats to scoops whey protein 60 G 30 G of egg whites per Shake

2 meat of some sort and broccoli with ranch

3 same Shake as one

4 meet again with broccoli and Ranch Maybe a little brown rice or sweet potato

5 cheese maybe a little fruit nuts maybe some ice cream

In the past years I've eaten a lot more than this on a deca/ test diet and gain profusely without putting on belly fat but I feel that since I've gotten fat once I have a proclivity to gain in my belly or is it just the DECA in my diet maybe someone can help me out a little thanks I appreciate it

Yeah I get the getting older thing should I cut out some of the carbs I also drink about four diet sodas a day

I'm just concerned that I'm going to lose out on games if I don't eat enough

[gunnery]

Okay well back to the diet section I guess

Meal 5 is the one that needs a hard look at. That phrase "maybe some ice cream" sounds like a dietary cop out.

Most people find it hard to eat on Ozempic... what is your current dose? You may need to nudge up to the next.

Definitely.

OP, we have all been there. Clean up the diet and get the results you are looking for.

Yeah thanks guys I definitely have been doing some reading and diet and I need to clean it up a little bit or a lot I'm just not burning the calories like I used to either thanks

I was on 1 mg and I couldn't eat a damn thing hence big shakes twice a day I went down to half milligram and I'm able to force down some food few times a day but I'm somewhat sedentary other than lifting I can't do cardio

Why did they decide on Ozempic verses other diabetes medications like Metformin? Maybe ask your doctor switching over to Trulicity? It has fewer side-effects.

But anyways as far as your diet goes, the ranch dressing and the shakes aren't helping you lose weight. There are better ways to flavor your veggies.

I'm actually on Metformin and ozympic it's a lot better than daily insulin shot and it regulates me pretty well I just can't eat s*** I have to force it on 1 mg I will definitely ask about the trulicity thanks as far as my diet I know I'm cheating a lot but I'm cleaning it up now trying to be a little stricter towards the end of my cycle so I can clean up and lean up maybe. Also I'm trying to look at leaning up my shakes a bit they're a bit on the heavy side

[gunnery]

Just an update if anyone is still reading this column I finished my cycle week ago nice games just a little light on chest I should have done more chest work but everything else is turned out great I'm leaning up now cleaned up my diet back down to 240 and looking decent as far as body fat looking forward to next year's cycle


Nick cycle I will definitely be doing blood work through a private lab and running an AI at least not too many sides but I can tell my estrogen is high and I have some acne left over

Invert your test and Deca doses and thank me later. Deca is an amazing compound with low test. With average to high test it is more problematic.

[gunnery]

Wouldn't that result in deck a dick? I mean I've never had a problem with Deca before as long as I ran it with test but I'm currently having a joint problem all my joints are really dry and achy I'm thinking about microdosing Deca any suggestions? I'm currently taking 100 mg of sipionate a week for trt but I'm having a hard time working out now post cycle

[Mooseman33]

you need to get that diet fixed. there is no reason to be gaining bf while running ozempic and gear. there is only one way my friend, not being honest.

[JdFlex]

It sounds like you're looking for big shortcuts. You need to take a step back and get your fundamentals sound; i.e. diet, as everyone else has mentioned.

[gunnery]

My diet's a little better now and I've lost a lot of that fat but I'm struggling with joint pain now

You need retatrutide. Been on it for several months steady at 7mg and just recently bumped to 9mg. You will shed body fat, being overweight is simply a choice.

At your size, you should be eating 200-250g protein daily. Ideally lean animal meats like fish, turkey, chicken breast, etc. Like others mentioned, get your carb sources from veggies.

80-100mg deca does wonders for joint pain. I stay on that with my trt and with my cycles.
