1st cycle help

[tswife]

I have done all my research and I don't know how to put it together to make and effective cycle. I am 5'8" 150lbs I have been lifting for 4 years. I have ran track from high school to collge and recreational since then. Since giving birth to my twins a year ago I am having a hard time getting my body back. I have looked into Clen, Var, Wini, EQ and dbol. I have heard for women not to take T3. What would be a safe cycle to start with. My diet is high in carbs for breakfast and mainly salads, broccli. salmon, tuna, turkey and chicken for protein.

As I'm sure you probably know, there is no magic pill. Your pregnancy is too recent for me to recommend any cycle. Your hormones are just now getting back to normal. It usually takes a woman anywhere from 6-18 mos to get back the pre baby body. And for some women, it forever changes their body, so you may not get your old body back 100%.

Post your current diet and training schedule, and I will bet there are some changes we can make to that.

Mon and Thur I do chest and arms
flat bench db curls on mon and incline and preacher curls on Thur
both days flys
I circut train my legs on tues and fri
I do cardio on my elliptical or a 45 min aerobic tape 5 days a week
My diet is usually
breakfast- oatmeal or bagel
snack- protein bar or shake
lunch- salad with vinagerette with turkey or chicken in it
snack- fruits or vegggies
dinner-chicken, salmon or occasionally pasta with lean meat. a green vegg, and a starch

I have lost 70 lbs since I have had the twins I am really looking to get my shape back. I was able to after my son I assume it will be possible after the girls. Mut I can imagine more difficult. I am having trouble mainly losing the body fat.

First of all, when women have their first child, their body usually does bounce back. However, with the second child, for some reason it is much more difficult and takes much longer. After the 2nd many women find that their body will not return to it's original form and state.

Secondly, you have put your body in starvation mode. You are eating less than 1000 calories a day. You do have the basics down and are eating several times a day. However, you are not eating enough....and that isn't NEARLY enough to warrant the use of AAS. AAS is there to help build muscle. If you don't feed the machine and eat enough for it to work, you are wasting your money.

In addition to the lack of calories, you are ultimately putting your body at a negative calorie deficit. A sedentary person who does NO activity needs about 900 cals/day to maintain themselves. You are doing cardio for 45 min 5 x a week, as well as training with weights.

You are simply starving your body, and that is what I think the major obstacle is at this time. Revamp your diet to accomodate your high level of activity.

You need a source of protein at Meal 1. At least 30 gms You need to eat a shake at Meal 4 in addition to your fruit.

What should my total intake of calories be to support the amount of work that I am doing?

i also wanted to ask what would be some good sources of protein to add. Thanks

protein to add to your breakfast - try 4-6 eggwhites as a meal by itself or a 3-4 eggwhite omelette with your oatmeal. spice it up if you want by adding salsa or fresh veggies. this has a great protein count and low in fat.
