In a week's time, (or less) we'll know what moves to make - and when!
I really think it is starting to already the last few days...I can't really explain it, I kind of just feel it...upper chest area is starting to get bulge back around the collarbone now I just noticed and it just looks really thick...
I can also tell despite my best efforts and throwing everything but the kitchen sink at my insulin management, I am starting to gain some fat around the midsection area. Nothing too horrible yet, but I am starting to lose the definition in my upper two sets of abs that were very distinct at the end of the cut...
As long as I can keep it at a manageable level, like under 15% BF, I am OK with it...I would really love to be able to add muscle and lose fat simultaneously, so with that in mind I am looking into adding 7-keto and forskolin together as a stack as both promote fat loss and lean muscle increase via different methods...
Forskolin seems to be counterintuitive however...apparently it can increase cortisol significantly, which would seemingly lead to increases of fat around the midsection, but it also increases Free T at the same time, and has been shown to significantly reduce abdominal fat, which seems to suggest something else is going on the researchers are not aware of. Some theorize it does this by removing toxins at the hormone receptor sites that are clogging up areas for these hormones to bind to...It also is a potent cAMP activator, increasing it by almost 5 fold(4.82 times normal), but does not affect the heart muscle in the same way as epinephrine and norepinephrine do, although it helps lower blood pressure due to vasodilation effects...
An interesting side note is that in people with psoriasis, the cAMP to cGMP ratio is heavily tilted in favor cGMP, leading to rapid cell division, so forskolin helps bring this balance back in line...although once I get this mercury out, it should rapidly decrease and hopefully almost disappear within a month(from most people that had similar issues this is about how long it takes for the body to chill out)
