anyone else experienced the opposite effect?
my appetite has actually decreased and i've lost like 6-7 pounds since starting testosterone.
has anyone experienced anything similar?
I'm too early on I think to really be able to tell but just *wanting* to go to the gym is a huge change for me and it's made me less interested in snacking or things like that. Don't think it's related to my appetite necessarily.
My Doc told me to be conscious of an increased appetite so I'm glad to hear that might not necessarily be the case!

How long have you been on T? Hormonal upheavals can have all kinds of effects.

I gained weight for a while, like almost 20 lbs or so around 2-3 months, then lost about half of that after 4+ months. I don't think my appetite increased, however my metabolism sure did. I just get hungrier a lot more often as opposed to being able to eat bigger portions. Along with T, I do exercise a lot, so that probably contributes to it too.

My appetite decreased compared to what it was. Think that happened almost straight away and it's never gone back up almost 2 years later.

I'm pretty sure my appetite has decreased. I've been on T for almost a year and I've never been super hungry. And I haven't lost any weight, but I have gained muscle.

My hunger never changed from being on T. I don't quite understand that story. I ate like a horse and stayed thin as a teen, but age has slowed everything down.
