malnutrition, not feeding your body enough to grow when it needs it most? absolutely
frick i didn't think it was that serious when people told me one meal a day everyday is moronic
>does a shortage of nutrients negatively affect anabolic processes
Gee what do you fricking think moron?
Yes. My mom was a fat ball so she put everyone by herself in a diet. When i was a teen i was full malnourished skeleton and she said i was "fine". As a result i stayed as a 5'7" manlet even tho my dad was like 5'11"
>inb4 your dad is a manlet too
Shut the frick up
Your father is king of manlet status, thougheverbeit
I'm 5'8 and I'm convinced I could've been 5'11 but I was a skeletal lurch for all my childhood and teenage years so I didn't grow properly ;_;
yeah. my great granfather and grandfather on other side were over 6ft tall, and im 5'9. i definitely ate enough to grow but i drank mountain dew every day. sometimes thats all i drank.
and everyone told me drinking mountain would stunt my growth, i said thats bullshit blah blah blah caffeine is fine... buuuuut thats not what the problem was hahaha. drinking sugar all day every day keeps your pancreas cranking out insulin, and you know what hates insulin? growth hormone. know what causes you to... grow taller? growth hormone. lol i fricked myself
oh that makes it even worse then because when i was a teenager i'd drink coke zero or just regular coke all the time on top of being anorexic.
That would explain why I'm so much taller than my siblings. I drink a ton of water and they're big soda drinkers.
Yeah, it fricks you up.
My grandfather is 188cm, father 192cm, brother 190 and i'm a 181 manlet.
I was 6' at like 12 and then the rest of my teenage years years I grew like an inch and a half I had bad insomnia but think I ate pretty well I feel ripped off honestly my uncle's are 6'7
I grew from 5'2" to 6'3 during one summer when I was 12
before that growth spurt I was told my maximum height is gonna end up around 6'11 based on my growth plates
I barely ate and had shit sleep throughout my whole teenage years
ended up growing half an inch from 13 to 21
Im happy with my height, but I definitely would've grown more if I ate more than 1 small meal per day on average and slept enough.
Yep, same shit. Was 5'11 at 10 years old, everyone told me I was going to be crazy tall, schools tried to get me to join their basketball teams. Immediately stopped eating less because I was poor and there wasn't enough food to go around and sleeping like shit because I was given my own computer and could stay up all night on roblox and IST. Grew 3/4s of an inch after that. I kept thinking another growth spurt would come, no way I'm gonna be 5'11.75 the rest of my life. Didn't accept the truth until I turned 19.
atleast our children will have giant genes
>anorexia as a teenager
This means you´re a girl. It´s ok to be short if you´re a girl, so don´t worry about it.
I will forever curse my parents for being poor and stupid only feeding me one substantial meal a day+ snacks. Didn’t get encouraged into an active lifestyle whatsoever either. I could have been so much more
I was underweight enough to be classified as anorexic and I'm 5'11 now
>does starvation stunt your growth?
gee idk this is a tough one. Might have to ask scientists about this one, you fricking moronic manlet
Yes but if you are a girl you'll be fine just eat more and lift/cardio so you can have peace of mind.
Sleep does sure matter
>Brother projected height 5 6
He slept well,ended up 5 8
>My projected height 5 10
For years I slept only a couple of hours or even stayed up all night,final height 5 8
We are the same height yet our height projections as children were 4 inches apart.
>my projected height
>5'11"
>eat my veggies, exercise regularly, get good sleep because have jock parents
>5'7"
Ya win some ya lose some, but at least I get to engage in my giantess fetish by dating tall women.
>t. has only ever dated women 5'10" and above
5'3 is a decent height for a woman
Are there seriously people this stupid here?
Wew.
Is gen x/ maybe gen y the last generation to have a heightmatched partner? I never see couples under the age of 35 where the female isnt at least 4 inches shorter than the man, but its common with boomers and gen x
>5'3.
Woman detected.
I want to frick her mouth
Shes such a fricking moron I hate her
Take this thread as a warning if you're actually going to reproduce.
>my projected height: 6'5"
>starve myself during high school because... imagine every mental illness all at once
>5'11"
just dont have a mental illness
I am German and 6‘3, while my father and grandfather are shorter than me. I ate a warm meal, often with meat, almost every single day. I drank milk like water. And I am not even that tall compared to my peers in school. Just tall, not the tallest.
I think it‘s basically the lowest common denominator. You need genetics and a meat-heavy diet with enough calories. If you don’t get that, your tall genes remain dormant, until your descendants live in a good enough time, where they can ear like that again.
