Taking Steroids to Build Muscle and/or Lose Body Fat is a Big Mistake!

I was just recently talking with a good friend of mine who is the strength coach for one of the top collegiate programs in the nation about my theory that steroid use causes an altering of the body’s biochemistry that ultimately makes losing fat much harder once people discontinue using steroids. Unfortunately there is no research on this and I doubt there will ever be any for various political reasons but I have seen this problem in so many former steroid users that I am pretty much convinced that this is the case. The lesson therefore is that unless you want to struggle for the rest of your life to lose fat once you have quit using the steroids then you better stay away from this performance enhancing drug altogether. Way back in 2000 I wrote an article to try to keep people from using steroids because of some of the other more dire consequences of this type of drugs. The following is a true story about a friend I used to know.
