A lot of questions about Anavar.

[mightymini21]

I'm going to try to make this as detailed as possible because I keep trying to look up threads about my questions but no one gives sufficient data for people to give them advice with.
so, I'm female, 5', 107 lbs. 22 years old and I have been bulking for the past 2.5 months and I want to continue bulking for the first 4 weeks on anavar, then spend the last 6 weeks cutting. I have been lifting for over two years and have gone through successful bulk/cut cycles, but I am now wanting to start preparing myself to compete in the future so I decided to start Anavar at 10mg/day. 5 am, 5 pm.
diet: 6 meals a day, 1700-2000 calories 160-180g carbs, 150-170g protein, 40-60g fats (typical day):
meal 1:
1 c. egg whites
1/2 c. oats
1 slice FF swiss cheese
meal 2:
met-rx protein bar
meal 3:
special k protein plus cereal
6 oz. plain greek yogurt
14 almonds
meal 4:
5 oz. grilled chicken
2 tbsp. FF cream cheese
-some type of carb: 1/2 c. pasta, 1/2 c. rice or a couple plain rice cakes
meal 5:
6 oz. salmon
1 cup veggies
meal 6:
3/4 c. egg whites
1 slice FF cheese
2 rice cakes

thats my day give or take, I believe in IIFYM so sometimes ill slip some more "dirty" foods into there if i can fit it/am really active that day. I just think my calories/macros are more important that the actual source I get said macros.

training goes as follows:
6-7 days/week, 45-90 minute sessions of heavy weight training. (compound lifts, drop sets, free weights)
No cardio
I work at a fast paced restaurant 4 days/week where I am literally walking fast/running(lol) for 5 hours so I dont feel cardio is such a big deal for me.

My questions:
- I was taking DHEA before I started Anavar and it really was helping with metabolism, strength, growth etc., can I take DHEA and Anavar at the same time? Or will they effect each other?
- should I eat a specific diet while on Anavar? Like low carb/low fat? Also, what modifications should i make to my diet; does anavar make your metabolism faster/slower?
-I have been on anavar for 5 days already and i've jumped from 107-109 eating the same diet I usually do, is this water weight?
- When should I be expecting to see certain results?

Thank you very much!

Great detailed first post, welcome aboard.

Being male and never having done var I will leave this to others who have some experience in this area.

I would advise you to include some cardio. I work doing building maintenence in a place where all my tools/supplies are in one building and I work almost exclusivly in another so I also fast walk a few miles a day. Although this is a great calorie burner and has helped me drop pounds I do not feel it gets the heartbeat up high enough to encourage cardiovascular growth, IMHO just two 30 minute sessions a week will increase vascularlity and cardiovascular functionality.

Also for when some of the knowlegable members do find your post if you include what you plan to compete in ( BB, Fitness etc.) that would be helpful.

You can do both at the same time. Your call there. Or drop the dhea during cycle and pick it back up immediately after. Read this on var if you haven't already: http://www.steroid.com/effects-of-anavar.php. Your diet looks great but you could always post it in the nutrition section as there are some real diet guru's over there who will help you. Agree with FFM on cardio.

Oh, welcome!

Great introductory post vetteman, is this going to be a standard reply to all first posts? IMHO that would be a great addition.
