METABOLIC RESPONSES OF ANABOLIC STEROIDS

A lot of people neglect the use of steroids to lose weight and instead opt to do aerobics. Aerobics is also very effective when it comes to losing weight but if you neglect doing some weight lifting then you could greatly compromise your body physique.
The only advantage aerobics has over using steroids is that it is not accompanied by serious side effects.
Despite the fact that anabolic steroids are useful in increasing the metabolic rate of a person the accompanied side effects can not be ignored.
Anabolic steroids should be used only if you are ready to face its side effects and as a result if aerobics failed to work for you.
Anabolic steroids affect the body metabolism by increasing the number of lean muscles present in the body. Research has shown that if you gain three pounds of lean muscles they can be able to burn about 10, 000 calories each month. The amount of calories your body can burn using lean muscles is more than it can burn through aerobics. Four extra pounds of lean muscles has the same effect when it comes to burning calories as running a distance of 27 miles each week.
The reason why muscles are very efficient when it comes to burning calories is because they need lots of energy to sustain them selves. When the body is inactive during sleep the muscles are still consuming calories.
If you introduce new extra muscles in the body you will be able to burn extra 50 calories a day. The resting metabolic rate (RMR) or simply put the amount of calories your body burns when it’s in rest mode, will rise if you increase the number of lean muscles in the body.
The mechanism which anabolic steroids use to shed of fat is by increasing the number of lean muscles and in effect alters the body metabolism.
Anabolic steroids have received very negative reviews in the medical field and a lot of medical experts discourage its use especially in boosting body metabolism. Not only are these steroids used in losing fat but they are also used for other various reasons. These categories of steroids are synthetic proteins which are very popular especially with body builders who want to attain faster muscle growth. Athletes also use anabolic steroids because they boost a person’s energy level and thus enhance their performance. If you use steroids in body building you are guaranteed faster results as compared to using the natural means.
Most medical experts have discouraged its use because they have very negative side effect. Some of these side effects are so severe and can actually affect your quality of life. Steroids have been known to cause infertility in both male and females. There have been reported cases of men developing breasts.
Complications associated with taking steroids include, insomnia, abnormal growth of the prostrate gland, acne on the face, heart conditions to enlargement of the heart and arteries, high blood pressure.

Although steroids are effective in losing weight through affecting your body metabolism it is advisable that you consider the side effects.
