[QUOTE="JD_LEO, post: 6826, member: 1103"] [COLOR=#333333]I am new to the site after reading Nelson's book, and I am attempting to gain as much knowledge as possible about TRT. I am 39 years-old, 5-11, 200 lbs. I was recently diagnosed with low testosterone, and went with a compounding pharmacy to receive a transdermal cream (I faint with needles). I have yet to receive my first shipment but I am excited to start living again. I currently have zero sex drive, low energy, and have had problems losing belly fat (weight) with consistent aerobic exercise. Some of my research revealed some people experience a significant increase in appetite so I am worried about the unhealthy weight gain aspect of TRT and or testosterone being converted to estrogen due to starting this therapy overweight. Within the last year, I have notice a small amount of weight settling in my breasts as well. Questions: 1. Since I am about 20 lbs overweight, will my body have a greater tendency for the testosterone being converted into estrogen? if so, am i at a higher risk of unhealthy weight gain while using this medication? 2. Will TRT help with metabolism? I am not looking for a larger waist or bigger breasts. I want to take a proactive approach so things will get better not worse. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks!! [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
