Why don’t doctors prescribe obese patients steroids?

Steroids are really good at burning fat especially clenbuterol. My question is why won’t doctors prescribe it to overly weight people?

Well first, steroids in general are *not* really good at burning fat. Most steroids actually cause significant weight *gain.* As for clenbuterol specifically, it’s for the the same reason we no longer prescribe amphetamines for weight lose: it’s not safe. Steroids have a whole host of negative side effects and can cause serious damage to your body. There’s absolutely no reason to take dangerous drugs when, barring some medical problem, simple diet and exercise is enough.
