For a year I was a lazy fuck, playing league of legends 8 hours a day eating 2500 calories every day(500 surplus) and not gaining any fat. Consistent 65kg skinny fat. After breaking up with GF, decided I needed to get my life in order, 1. nofap (80 days) 2. sleeping naked 3. cold showers 4. eating 100% whole foods, red meats and vegies etc. 5. 45 min walk every day 6. intermittent fasting and eating 1500 calories 7. fish oil, vit d3, zinc, magnesium, beta carotene
Now for the weird part is. Despite cutting and fasting, I have gained weight, up to 67.5kg, but I have lost all belly fat and have a clear 6 pack. I haven't got my T levels tested, but I genuinely believe my test levels have raised and my body has built alot more muscle/recomped because of that. Have also noticed more chest hair and hair on wrists/hands etc, and feeling great.
What do you think Jow Forums? How is it possible to gain muscle while eating 1000 less calories and no gym? also m/22 so i dont think its a growth spurt or anything. pic unrelated.
i can't do nofap for 2 days without bursting how the fuck do you do it?

>How is it possible to gain muscle while eating 1000 less calories and no gym? Because you optimized your body. That's how. A good diet and test does wonders for the body.
Jayden Garcia
It's hard man, I relapsed once after around 2 weeks, and only once. Althought at this point in, I can't believe I EVER fapped. I don't even consider it as a part of life anymore, it's weird, but unexplainably great.
It gets easier mate
Logan Roberts
Thanks man, I'll try it out.
Lincoln Rogers
Yeah I get that, although I just never imagined that a few changes in habits, and nothing really challenging at all, could make so much of a difference
Andrew Sanchez
>tfw I fapped this morning 24 hours is the most I been without fapping in a while. Honestly don't see how nofap is possible?
did it for 5 days a few years ago. My balls hurt and my life was the same I just felt sad and horny.
Benjamin Hill
It's the only logical thing that makes sense, I have noticed most of the symptoms of higher T. Also is it so hard to believe that my shitty life style would have been really bad for my T levels to begin with?
Cameron Gonzalez
at that low weight just being in the gym would make you gain muscle..
come back when you're actually a healthy adult weight
Logan Clark
Yeah it's amazing isn't it. I'm on day 100~+ or something and I hope I never go back. Good luck :-)
Took me 1year+ to get a 90 day streak, you'll get a streak eventually if you keep trying

No, what you've noticed is a drop in IGF-1 levels, which has a direct correlation to health and wellbeing. Drop in IGF-1 results in a drop in cortisol and prolactin, boith of which hinder muscle gain, cause the body to store fat, and inhibit/delay hair growth.
Sebastian Mitchell
>Drop in IGF-1 results in a drop in cortisol and prolactin *increase in cortisol and prolactin, not drop. I'm fucking tired ok, leave me alone!
There is a study done in England that showed that testosterone alone with no exercise will build more muscle than no testosterone and no exercise or no testosterone and exercise.
I increased my test and had biceps show up without me doing anything, remember testosterone makes a man, it's super important.
Parker Watson
This makes sense. I have noticed my hair has been thicker than ever, although that could also just be more viatmins. Also have been mediating, which also lowers cortisol.
>red meat >u optimised ur body xD Spotted the retard
Jonathan Miller
placebo effect, the thread
guise sleeping naked will increase your testosterone because your body thinks you're a caveman and raises it!
Nathaniel Baker
I don't eat meat, but I agree that eating organic meat is infinitely times better than eating processed meats from supermarkets. Then no meat is infinitely times better :-)
I am a no-meat athlete friendo, be nice
William Perez
>sleeping naked will increase your testosterone because your body thinks you're a caveman and raises it! has defs made my balls way bigger and cooler, which does raise t
Adrian Carter
Well if you want to get pedantic like that you're just comparing shit to polished shit. Good for you being no meat though, shit is a waste of money and horrible for you.
Sebastian Martin
Ease yourself into it. Cold turkey is an absolute necessity for quitting most things, but fapping is different. Start with no porn for a few weeks, then limit fapping to once a week, then quit completely from there. The thing about no fap is that you don't relapse as easy once you make good progress. If you lose control and fap, you won't go back to fapping daily to freaky porn unless you have literally no will power.
Have to admit though, no fap was much harder for me than quitting smoking. It's fuckin weird, man.
Evan Rogers
not that guy but I get wet dreams after ~1 week of nofap, every time. I don't have a problem with abstaining from fapping but that shit is annoying. No porn is what did it for me.
Jeremiah Murphy
Do you sex? I dont want libido death
Nolan Rivera
Do you have any hard data except "hurr durr I feel like I have more test" bullshit?
Asher Torres
*snap*
Caleb Martinez
That's fucking normal you twat.
Jose Johnson
It boggles my fucking mind that people will follow all of the retarded memes except the simplest one. Lift you retarded dyel faggot
Nathaniel James
Time to lift you pleb. GODDAM, be what men are supposed to be: big.
Blake Bennett
Getting a gym membership on monday lads
Henry Reed
>This is 100% no bullshit. My testosterone has increased >I-I just feel like it increased but I didn't actually get tested >100% no bullshit
Easy, omad is basically built for recomp. During the fast period your body chews body fat. When you eat, it uses that time to make muscle repair. You would have had worse results in a 3 meal a day.
Progressive deloading my friend >fap once a day >fap once every other day >fap every second day >every third >twice a week >once a week
by then it should be pretty easy. Also do the same with porn >extreme videos with whatever fetish you've developed >normal videos & extreme pictures >normal pictures >only clothed qts >only imagination
Xavier Williams
red meat isn't good for you lmao
William Powell
but you dont lift? why are you not lifting son?
Jacob Perez
did you switch your scale from kg to pounds? Because you do not gain weight eating 1500 calories Or mabe your one of those retards who uses creatine and thinks HURR I PUT ON 5LBS OF MUSSEL
William Wood
But basically what happened is you started lifting and put on 5lbs as a result
William Hall
> This is 100% no bullshit. My test increased > I haven't got my T level tested Nigga fuck off
