Unexplained fat gain - related to NoFap?

Call me old fashioned, but have you considered going to a doctor?

 

Do you have moon face?

Look in another direction. By not watching porn or masturbating, you are not producing a significant increase in testosterone. There is one study that suggests that you get a very short-term increase at the end of one week - which quickly returns to baseline afterward.

You are resetting dopamine receptors by doing Nofap. You are not increasing testosterone.

 

If you have been free of porn and masturbation for more than two years and you are not tapping your dopamine receptors in any other huge way (drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, video gaming), then you must have some other physiological problem.

Maybe your testosterone is low. Or, maybe your estrogen is high. You won’t know unless you have those things tested.

 

Apart from a rise in testosterone after 7 days of not ejaculating, nofap does not cause higher testosterone. This is a common myth.

I would try intermittent fasting, some people have had great success in it for weight loss and also it has some mental benefits, along with longevity benefits. Diet wise i would stick to whole foods. Plants, some meat, fruits. I would highly recommend limiting bread and suger.

 

you should try seeing a nutritionist they can help figure this out as my trainer which is a nutritionist also pin pointed why im at a low body fat count ,im eatting too much meat an drinking to many protein drinks, its building my muscle yes but protein burns fat considerably, investing in your self is one of the highest gift you can give yourself out of self love,i developed a solid meal plan that i felt was perfect but now i have to change it again

 

bro try 6 pack abs subliminal in youtube listen to it three times a day its kinnda like law of attraction

 

Man, stop advertising that bullsh!t. It dangerous. Trance like state that can induce will cause relapse.

Because stress, emotional stress?

 

First thing stop thinking that your brain feminized. You got man brain. It just working maybe in stressed mode.
Do you still meditate? I do not.

I suggest a book, that maybe new info for you:
"The Ultimate Guide To Red Light Therapy: How to Use Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy for Anti-Aging, Fat Loss, Muscle Gain, Performance, and Brain Optimization"

 

Just saying one goal of meditations is getting rid of our desires, if I understood well. That mean all desires i guess, at the end. In my opinion it fck up your brain, I would not advice anyone to meditate. If someone want to message me with "meditation is so good, there is science about that!..", please first use google, and learn what kundalini syndrome mean. Thank you.

Exactly that happen, you wrote. Stress = more cortisol + estrogen, but less testoserone. You know if someone stressed too long they do not really feel that anymore, but they still stressed, you know i mean something like if someone pinching you it hurt badly at first, but later you feel that less and less. You know if you were stressed once you are not stressed anymore.

Reading about DHT will be interesting too, that is the more receptor active hormone made from testosteron. I guess best thing someone can do to max these hormones are learning how to keep circadian rhythm + exercises(cardio + isometric) + good sleep habits, even taking a nap when someone able in afternoon. You can give spike of your DHT levels by doing some isometric exercises more times in a day. I advice isometric because less chanche to hurt yourself with them and they engage lot muscle mass, and you can do them in long term. I do them few minutes, more times a day.

Yes, I bought a lamp, and doing red light therapy since middle of January. If you combine that with exercise someone will see better results for sure. In short it works, those thing that books telling about in my experience are true. But I advice for anyone before investing in red light therapy please first check possible side effects. It also not a good idea to shine those light on tumors.

Anyway it can help greatly with withdrawal side effects, like depression, anxiety, insomnia, fatigue, hormonal imbalances. The book writes about them in great details. I will open a topic about my experience with red light once i hit 4 month use, for sure!
