I did a cycle a while back where I put on a really decent amount of weight, like 30+ pounds. After which I attempted to bulk but could barely put on a few pounds in a couple months time. At least I didn't lose any gains though.
Now I'm looking to cut some fat. I started a mild cycle a few weeks ago. 250mg test E a week +40 mg anavar ED. The anavar I started 1.5 weeks after the test E, and it's been about 3 weeks of the var. I even did an EC stack for the first week and have been doing mild cardio.
I eat in a very large deficit, only eating about 1200-2200 calories a day when my maintenance is supposedly 4k+, and when I was failing at bulking I was eating 5.5k pretty consistently. My diet consists of mostly protein, a decent amount of fat, and hardly any carbs. I eat protein shakes, chicken breast, tuna, and snack on cottage or provolone cheese. Most of my carbs come from the milk and vegetables.
I have not lost a single pound, but my strength has skyrocketed back up to the height of my last cycle fairly quickly. The only thing I can think of is that the bloat from the test E is countering any actual fat weight loss in terms of pounds on the scale.
Should I revamp my diet, and maybe even begin to eat a bit more? I seem to defy the laws of nature.
