Since starting TRT a little over 3 weeks ago, I've been STARVING. I've always lifted heavy and have been able to lift a bit heavier since on test but, man, I'm HUNGRY. Trying to eat good stuff.
I'm guessing this is my body growing in response to the working out and extra test in my body?
Anyone else notice this?
I definitely noticed an increase in appetite once I started TRT. (I use Axiron.)
I believe it is a direct function of the increased testosterone levels.
yes very common, and its a good thing!
I eat less and I've lost weight since starting TRT. Went from a massive 155 to a braulic 148. ;-)Quote:

I assure you it's not psychological. I'm HUNGRY. I'm a guy who can eat but I'm not hungry all of the time like that. Even when eating little meals throughout the day, I'm still hungry.Quote:

Yeah, I'm trying to get back to eating clear(er). I had done well for a while there and lost all motivation (part of the reason I looked into TRT). Now I'm motivated again, feels good.Quote:

It it weren't for a bicep problem I'm having, it would be all good in the gym.
I'm back to not keeping a bunch of bad food around the house. Otherwise, I'd be eating it ALL! I have no willpower when it comes to food. That's why I'm big but too much fat on my body.
I'm right there with you. I had been working around an injury myself. This is the second FULL STRENGTH workout week and I'm feeling really good. Appetite has opened up though. Keep at it brother.Quote:

The test is allowing me to work harder and (hopefully) starting to build more muscle as I've been lifting heavier.Quote:

I was not as strong and not able to work as hard.Quote:

My appetite was not nearly as high before trt.
