So I ran Clen for two weeks, and lost 5lbs and noticed a more shredded look however on the two weeks off I gained most of it back. So I heard to use t3 with it however I keep hearing mixed opinions on it. Such as you have to take steroids with it or you will lose all your muscle however then some people say just keep dose within 50-100 mcg, and you should not. Also I heard some people say it will mess up your thyroid and others say that study was done with excessive amounts. Opinions on the Clen/t3 stack?

If clen is working for you, I'd keep at it.
You can avoid the whole 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off cycling thing by running a beta upregulator like ketotifin.

Running low dose t3 trying to lose bodyfat isn't a real hot idea imo.
T3 works well when you're well above physiological levels.
What running a low dose will do is shut down your natural production while keeping your serum levels pretty similar to what they were before. I ran 60mcg/day for a while to treat a subclinical hypothyroid condition. It put me back into normal range but shut down my natural production. It came back after being off of it for a while though.

I was thinking about trying ketotifin but I kept hearing its better off to use t3.
I would run probably run it at about 50-75 mcg, do you consider this to be a low dose?

I would but that's based on my personal experience with that dosage.
Others are able to get better results on dosages like that, genetics or diet, who knows WHY they just do.
I've seen people running over 200mcg of the stuff also to get the same effect.

You're still going to get people who are will argue that your diet needs adjustment if you can't maintain weight without drugs.

People really like suggesting running test with T3 because it can be muscle wasting without it.
I guess it depends on what you want more, to be lean or to be big.

What are your current stats by the way, weight, height?

Yes...t3 I would only use if you are on cycle. Will burn through your muscle if not.
I apparently react well with t3. I've ate like total shit the passed few days and have still dropped bf%. That's no excuse to eat like shit though...it's just been an off few days.

My diet is in check when I run clen, for the fact it suppresses my appetite, normally my stomach is always growling, which is why I gain the pounds back when I get off, I eat to so much lol. Well personally lean because my friend did an ECA stack and lost most of his muscle however he built it back fairly quickly so now hes lean and muscular.
Weight is 163, height is 5'7 and bf is 18%. Mainly all my fat is in my mid section from when I was a kid.

Haha nice, lol thats what I hear if you take clen with t3 you burn everything lol people drop 5-8% on one cycle which would be perfect for me.

Everyone reacts differently. Diet should still be your main focus.

I am still not sure on what I want to do lol. Either keep running clen and then take hydroxycut on off cycle(got it for free). Or order some more clen and t3 and only run t3 at a max of 50 to 75mcg so I do not burn all muscle. I heard if you take it for two days and two days off it works well like that.(t3)
Yes of coarse diet important, but my diet goes down the shitter when I eat all my healthy meals and I am still hungry. Then I eat a bunch of crap

I not hopeless at all, just need some help. As I said previously my first cycle I lost 5 pounds and only gained 3lbs pounds back and have been off clen for 5 weeks now. The main reason I take clen is because it suppresses my appetite its just an added bonus that it increases metabolism by 10%. That is why I was wondering opinions on t3 considering you can take it for a long period, while I am off clen. So I am just going to run clen with some fat burners on market on my off week and hope the fat burner suppresses my appetite.

ketotifen is an absolute life saver with clen... you can run it for more than a month straight with good results and the keto will enable you to sleep at night!

IMO, do NOT use t3 if you are not on any AAS

Op, what would be your ideal BF% you are trying to reach? At 18%, I personally wouldn't recommend Clen or T3. Those should be your "Ace in the hole" resources. I would try getting down to 10% or close with just diet. At most, an E/C stack will help suppress appetite and give you energy while doing so. I'm not against clen and t3, but I think they really shine when your much closer to your desired level of leanness.
