Always hungry

[MR. evil]

I am 39 years old and have been on TRT for about 2 months. Taking 100mg test-cyp one per week. Been sleeping MUCH better and my energy levsl has started to increase. For the past couple of weeks I seems to be constantly hungry. The only thing I can think of is that the TRT has restarted my metabolism. Any other ideas?

The good sleep and higher T levels could very well have gotten your metabolism kicked up a bit. It is a good sign that it is working!

Well, you are correct in your assumption; starting testosterone replacement does in fact increase your resting metabolic rate!

It's why men lose weight when they start TRT.

In your case it may be manifesting in hunger to keep your body fueled.

I've seen men report this same thing over the years.

The good news for you as ERO points out; you know your TRT program is working!!!

That happened to me as well for the first few months. And then even for a few months longer I was drinking milk like I was 14 again...like a half gallon a day or more. That's slowed a bit now too.

I have always had an extremely high appetite. So when I started TRT it got worse. It took quite a bit of will power to stop 2nd helpings etc. 6 months ago I went full keto and talk about will power. Egads, no cookies, breads, pasta, cakes, sugar, fruit etc. But after 2 weeks all of a sudden my food craving dropped a lot. In fact there are times I have to remind myself to eat. I still have swings but not as bad. Not for everyone. If you want to cut holy cow will it. Burns fat really fast. Just make sure to eat 1 to 2 tablespoons of high quality unrefined coconut oil every day.

My apitite has also increased while on TRT. The best part is that I eat more, but I am leaner...one of the many prizes of being on TRT.

My appetite also increased when I first started TRT, I don't remember how long it lasted. It did eventually return to normal.

I was/am the same way. After my TRT started kicking in and working I wanted to eat anything not nailed down! I have really cut back what I eat lately. One awesome side effect is my strength is really shooting up nicely and body fat starting to come off. Workouts have been super for me
