Can anyone tell me some examples of steroids that cause weight loss rather than weight gain?

What causes weight loss or weight gain is your diet, not steroids.
anavar, winstrol, tren a. are great for cutting with the proper diet and training program.
and test prop stacked with any one of these.

You need to look to exercise, diet (as cited above^^) and research chems for weight loss. All steroids, as intended when designed, cause weight & muscle gain...NOT LOSS!

BE CAREFUL!
there are steroids out there that have less water retention but if this truly is an issue for you then you really need to get your diet in check. There is a great diet forum here with a lot of very helpful people. Check out the diet forum and then consider steroids after that. There are no steroids that cause weight loss.
Diet is definitely key to any weight loss plan. However, there are certain steroids that will boost the process. Steroids are designed for muscle gain primarily, but if taken improperly and/or with poor diet can indeed increase fat gain as well.
Consider what happens in males during puberty when natural test increases to its highest natural levels. Baby fat starts to melt away and is replaced by muscle. Metabolism at this time is also at its highest. Test is a natural catalyst for these results, which is why test alone can help to promote fat loss.
Winstrol also has a rep as a cutting steroid, which is why its always taken as part of a stack, never alone. By itself it isn't a mass builder. Truthfully I'd stay away from Winstrol because of the risk it poses to your connective tissue and joints. It will definitely help you cut water as well, but it reduces collagen synthesis which can cause the minor damage done to tendons and ligaments that is a part of hard training to be exacerbated and slow to heal.
Anavar is another cutting favorite, and most report good results in this area. It is actually good for connective tissue as it increases collagen synthesis. You aren't going to add a lot of bulk with Anavar alone, but it can be run by itself, and it will produce very hard, solid gains that will easily be maintained after cycle. If I were looking to cut this is what I'd use.
Stimulants are another possibility, like Clen, ect., but I avoid stimulants as they pose danger to the heart, create dependency, and any loss achieved while on them tends to disappear once use is discontinued.
Steroids do not cause weight loss they cause weight gain. Look up the word anabolic.
I think when people say weight loss they mean "fat loss". Steroids can help reduce fat by:
-Increasing metabolism (different from increased lean mass)
-Building more muscle which burns more cals per unit time
I've read about cutting cycles that involve test, but the core is still diet and exercise, but test can enchance the effect.
Just keep in mind the scale may go up due to water retention etc.. but Bf% should go down.
I agree with TKO........
You can lean out on Testosterone due to your metabolism increasing, plus you recover faster and can train harder. It all comes down to diet and training as to how beneficial the use of an AAS will be.
Clen can be useful, as it also suppresses appetite along with it's other benefits, but it does have sides not everyone can handle.
Tren
Never seen a steroid that offered a body composition change like tren, and at low dose too
I realize this but the OP obviously doesnt and ft loss even on tren and var is greatly overated and would be a waste of time without a good diet.
My point was people see dudes ripped to shreds and think ohh juice did that-no diet did that. When you cut on juice its simple to hold onto muscle strength in a calorie deficiency thats it. Some will help cut more than others will but its not about drugs at all.
I agree that diet is of the utmost importance, but if you are seeking to lose BF I'd advise against the calorie defficiency approach. When you train hard and try to run a calorie defficiency your body assumes you are being underfed. It slows down your metabolism in an effort to preserve the fat you have. Your body is geared toward fat retention, not muscle retention. Though we have much technology that no longer necessitates this system, it was designed to allow us to survive periods of starvation. If your body thinks you are starving it will burn 60% muscle to 40% fat.
Consequently what I have found works, and I have proven this with diet journaling, is to eat maintenance intake for your weight. You want a good 20/40/40 split of fat/protein/carbs. Then you shoot to burn at least 600 calories three days a week through cardio in addition to your weight training. Doing this on 3,500 calories a day I was able to lose 2lbs a week on average while still continuing to gain strength. That was 100% natural. I'm certain that if I'd added Anavar into that regimen the results would have been even better.
