I am having good results with fin. i dont want to quit it but i am experiencing severe weight gain. also minox. makes me bloated. is there anything i can do to offset the weight gain? i exercise daily, always have, so i know the gain is from fin. anyone else with this prob?
Well, you can always try to decrease your intake of food. If you gain weight, your level of food intake compared to your level of exercise is too high.Originally Posted by threewishes

CThanks for the advice but this is not the case. There must be some sort of weight gain associated with fin. and something do counteract it
You're definitely not alone. I've noticed the same. I also exercise a lot and my weight has always been very stable. I haven't changed my habits or diet or anything, so I'm guessing that the fin has decreased my metabolism and caused the weight gain (I felt a bit run down in the 1st few weeks on fin). I'm hoping that this is just my body adjusting to the drug and that the weight will be easy to drop over the next couple months
Please give it time and you can grow them big man boobs you have always dreamed of and if you are really lucky a nice pot belly too.
how long will it take the weight gain side effects to go away after quitting fin? also. are tyhere any meds or herbs that help? Saw palmetto?
you should exercise harder and eat less.
Mybe i didnt make this clear. i have never had a problem with weight, always stayed around 8% body fat. if anyone has a more in depth or insightful response i would appreciate it.
Yea lots of guys don't understand that "eat less' doesn't help. I have the same situation. I work out 3-4 times a week and always have been pretty muscular. Started fin and now I have a pot belly. Don't know how to help you man, I think it may come down to being fatter with more hair or having less hair and less fat.
Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis.
I won't adress the 8% body fat thing because it'll just lead to a flame war.
However, if you feel you're gaining weight directly because of Finasteride, trying lower your daily dose and do some cardio every day.
