Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Weight Loss

Post a new topicby forrest_and_trees on Fri Aug 28, 2009 2:34 am

I've seen references to low-T causing weight gain. So does that mean replacement therapy, [over time] will help to loose weight? Has anyone else had experience in this area?

I have experienced a small amount of weight loss (7 lbs.) But I have been walking every chance I get because I have much more energy than before treatment started. Have been on Androgel for 1 month. Here's the neat part- although I have not lost a lot of weight, my body compostion has changed. The fat is changing to muscle and my wife contiues to comment how much different I look. The scales dont tell the whole story.

I agree with kdaiely. Have you ever noticed when men gain a gut and lose there but,this is just one of the signs of low T. My husband was going in this direction. He started using vienue testosterone and has been for several months, he is 43 and very happy with the results, all his buddies noticed the difference too and want to know what he is doing. I started taking the woman's formula and my libido is better than ever. You can go to vienue and check out there success stories page.
Hope this helped you.
