Interesting! My doctor was just telling me to try it.

Hmmmm...

I tried it years ago, it worked well on a cut. I will try to find the thread.

I seem to remember the lack of ammonia smell. Coincidentally, I think Rhodiola Rosea is better on a cut, but know of no effects on testosterone.

Whats do you mean it worked well on a cut? Would a person have more cortisol increase during exercises on a cut as opposed to maintenance or bulk?

Yes. Caloric deficit = stress.

Yes. Caloric deficit = stress.

I guess it triggers physiological stress while reducing emotional stress. I feel better when I eat less, but not too much less. If I cross the caloric deficit threshold, I go apeshit bonkers crazy.
