Yes that’s absolutely correct. To add a little more, stimulants have a rather sordid history as weight loss supplements (almost always ending up banned), being used to increase your basal metabolic rate (burning more energy at rest). Anabolic steroids are used because your body can extract stored energy from both fat and the protein in your muscles, and they ultimately have the net effect of getting your body to extract more of that energy from the fat. Use of either stimulants or anabolics alone would have an effect on body fat, just a greater effect when used together.
Of course the better option is to use neither of them, and just have a healthy diet and exercise routine. The health risks are incredibly serious, even if you manage to avoid outright dropping dead at a young age (like many “enhanced” fitness influencers have, such as Zyzz, Jo Linder, Rich Piana…).
- thriftwy 3y agoWhat if I don't want to have an excercise routine? It is not something I enjoy so I don't do that. I want to lie 12 hours straight under a tree and be reasonably fit, like a gorilla. Eating healthy makes sense but excercising, by definition of that word, does not.
- AmericanChopper 3y agoIf you just want to be lean you can achieve that with diet alone. But if you want a lot of muscle mass, then you need to exercise. If you gave an entirely sedentary person anabolic steroids, they’d probably end up with slightly more muscle mass then they otherwise would have had, but you’re not getting a gorilla physique without a lot of exercise.
