Ok guys,
I'm sure this question pops up often, but let me explain the context of why I am asking this...
After a motorcycle accident that left me pretty f'ed up, I'm finally back to working out after more than 2 years out of the gym.
I never really took much in the way of supplements and focused primarily on my food intake and a 6 workout per week regimen.
However, things are different this time. Just hit 40+ years of age, and it's as if someone stood on the brakes of my metabolism or something as my old standby of macros and routine are doing very little for fat loss this time. Now I'm no stranger to tweaking and fine-tuning my diet to toggle down the calories and adjust my macros. But this go-round I had to scale waaaaay back on calories just to see the tiniest of blips in my BF... It was quite disheartening and I've been quite patient... Father time, you royally suck...
Anyhow, after working my ass off just to shave 1/4 inch off the waist (I've used this regimen for years and fat loss has always been very predictable and came quite easy for me. This time things were very, very different + energy levels very low) I came to terms with the fact that maybe I need some additional help this go-round. Problem is I haven't touched anything for fat loss over the last 15 years outside of the old faithful ECA stack a few years back before it was banned again.
Never really felt the need to use anything other than ECA over the years, and had always just figured that most supplements for fat loss were a gimmick.
So question is, now that I'm more open minded to the idea, what would you recommend for someone in this situation? What's the current reigning champ in the world of fat loss supplements? I understand things have changed over the years and I will continue focusing on my food intake to adjust for my age - But I'd be ecstatic if something gave me a nice boost or shove in the right direction.
I'll add to this that I am new to TRT over the last few months after confirmed low free androgen levels and sky high SHBG. But the doc is still changing up protocols to fine tune. In the meantime, I could sure use a win.
My ears are open! Haha - I've browsed through the forums here and read many a glowing review for product after product. But figured it'd be best to just ask and listen. I'm skeptical that anything will have that large of an impact for me, as the kitchen is king for fat loss... But at a time where I am struggling with low energy and a crawling metabolism, I realized that perhaps it's time to reconsider that skepticism.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts.
