Dieting bites! Let’s just get that out of the way... Losing weight – particularly the kind of weight a bodybuilder needs to lose, is probably one of the hardest things a person can endeavor... Everyone’s a saboteur: You. Your friends... Your family who sets out a giant spread each time you come over to visit... Even your body wants to foil your attempts to make it look better... And that’s exactly the point here... Okay, so it doesn’t purposely want to sabotage you, but what you think is best for yourself cosmetically and what your body thinks is best, is usually opposite... So, it’s hard to get your body to shed weight without tricking, duping and pinning it into submission... It thinks poor little Billy Bodybuilder is starving, so it shuts poor Billy down and says, “I’ll protect you little Billy!” But alas, Billy says, “Dammit! I have a competition in 8 weeks, will you STOP????!” Your body thinks you should be perfectly happy at 12% body fat... It’ll even let you go to 10% without too much trouble... But try to go further and your body, your doctor and your family goes nuts! That’s where creative dieting and even drugs come into play... Sure, you can get down reasonably far with diet and exercise alone, but to maintain it or flip your metabolic rate, it’s nearly impossible... There’s also muscle loss, hormones going berserk, and other issues to deal with... We’ve all taken AAS, prohormones, fat burners, and other supplements to try to fix the problem... But nothing will help with that last 5-8% body fat, and the serious diet drugs could send us blazing into a room with an AK-47 and do something pretty out of character, if taken to the extreme... Thyroid meds are so yesterday... Cortisol blockers are only good if you take them with a perfect diet, perfectly, all the time and even then, not so good. But taking the drug Bromocriptine just may be the answer... It’s safe, legal, and relatively cheap... But how to beat the four biggest problems of losing body fat: ravenous hunger, metabolic log-jams, an increase in fat storage enzymes, and plummeting hormones? All will prevent you from achieving your ultimate goals... And even when you do lose the fat, losing it initially isn’t the problem, it’s losing it in the long term and keeping it off that is. ..And how can you beat your lifelong setpoint of weight? That appears to be a brain chemistry issue... Bromocriptine decodes brain chemistry and supercedes all of the crashing hormones, fat storage enzymes, and faltering metabolism to lend the kind of success you’ve been seeking... It helps disguise that you are starving and prevents your brain from trying to prevent it... How it does that is by boosting dopamine levels, which decline with age... It also keeps prolactin from being produced out of control... Prolactin comes from the pituitary and isn’t desirable as you age since it suppresses your immune system and, most ghastly, is a fat synthesis hormone... It’s one reason you get fatter as you age... Bromocriptine also effects other pituitary hormones, including growth hormone. ..It increases growth hormone for those who have a normal concentration of it, and suppresses it in those who have an overabundance... So if you’re taking a ton of GH, don’t take Bromo... But if you are off season, Bromo is ideal for making great in roads to fat loss so you don’t have to work as hard when you start dieting for a competition and get on a big mass cycle... Back to dopamine and why Bromo works on fat loss in the first place. Since dopamine declines past the age of 40, by 13% per decade, it triggers the body to want to hang on to fat and protect you as you age from wasting away... But sadly, low dopamine levels also creates mental decline... Taking Bromo for mental acuity and sharpness is a great plan for anyone at this age and over... Bromocriptine is also being used in disease control and prevention, including cancer andType II Diabetes... In studies with rats who were fed a carcinogenic substance from tobacco known to cause breast cancer, the rats taking Bromo never developed it... Pretty significant... Diabetes patients taking Bromocriptine saw great results because it has been shown to suppress lypogenesis and improve glucose tolerance and insulin resistance – both crucial to fat loss and the bodybuilder... But it also shows long term metabolic regulation, which can help prevent massive weight gains between competitions and mass and dieting cycles... Dosage: Take 1.25 to 2.5mg daily, unless treating a serious medical disorder where dosage may differ according to your physician’s guidance... Side effects: Nausea, dizziness, lowering of blood pressure, hypotension
