Calorie Restriction can slow down gains?

Blueballs · Sep 17, 2014

Hi Guys,

I just started to cut down my calories as of the begining of the month to drop some fat before EOY, I'm currently around 190lbs and 18% BF(masured with clipers) and I hope to get down to around 8% by end of the year, this is not the first time I diet so I know very well the proccess and how much time it will take for my body to cut fat slowly. I'm currently at 2700 cals/day and I'll drop the callories by 100 ever week.

However I'm wondering if a prolonged calorie deficit will slow down the PE gains due to limited resources(especialy once I'll get under 2000cals/day), so my question is for the guys that went on a diet or cutting phase while doing PE: Did you experinced a decrease in gains or prolonged fatige due to slower recovery in this period?

You will be fine, everyone who has lost a lot of weight says their dick got bigger

Indeed it does in perspective! I loose and gain weight every year in cycles, during the Spring and Summer I gain about 60 pounds of weight and my penis suffers in perspective to my size but once Fall rolls around I lose the weight rather quickly and my maximum, visual size returns. My penis does not change in any way in girth or length unless I am actively gaining. If I am not training at all nothing is lost or gained but visual size.

Great to hear that, I know for a fact that fluctuating from ~20% to under 10% in the past used to change my length by about 0.1-0.2" but visually I looked much bigger when I had a small waistline and ass at under 10% body fat that's why most chicks say that skinny guys are biger.

If it worked in the opposite way, where when we gained weight our penis gained weight too I think the world would be filled with fat men

I remember when I was on a very high protein diet in 2019 and I was focusing heavily on length work. My penis looked longer than what it looks like now. I don't think calories deficit will affect penis size.

I'm on 20:4 diet now, and I eat meat and vegetables and some tubers once a day. Haven't seen any stagnation in my gains. If you eat what your body needs you will be good.

And when you diet you also lose fat at the base of penis giving you an instant gain

I'm around 8.5 inches now in length but my penis looks shorter than what it used to look like when I was 8 inches. The fat pad is the enemy.

The 20:4 diet with minimal carbohydrate intake, is the key to this enemy.

Fast for 20 hours and eat within the 4 hours right?

Okay, hopefully I can give it a try soon.

Yes!

That is what I'm doing...I hope I can destroy this fat pad

You will destroy the fat pad.

I have no experience in slower gains, on 20:4 diet. As long as you get in proper nutrition, you should be okay. Protein intake is important. I'm smaller now, but still strong. As long as you provide your body with what it needs, you should be okay.

Calorie Restriction can slow down gains?
