Appetite increase from test...

[cachexic]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you have any idea about how long it takes for the appetite-boosting properties of testosterone enanthate to kick in. I'm currently 11 days deep in my first test. E cycle, and I'm noticing my appetite is a lot more than it usually is. I'm not 100% sure this is attributable to the testosterone, but I suspect it.

I'm usually not hungry at all when I first wake up. Not a breakfast person. So I usually choke down my protein shake, multi, fish oil,thermogenic, and go do my cardio session.

The past two days though I have woken up with a total empty-stomach feeling and I'm fucking voraciously hungry. Could eat a goddamned feast. And here's the thing, I ate right before I went to bed last night too.

Being that this is the enanthate ester, I figured I would feel none of the effects for at the VERY least 2 weeks. But this appetite increase started one week after I began the cycle.

I'm not sure it's all about the "test" that is making you hungry. Tell me this what has happen with your training for the last 11 days? Are you hitting it harder then ever since you started a new cycle? That alone is going to bump up your appetite. The good news is you are hungry and can eat more then normal this will go a long way towards positive gains.
best of luck,
K

Well I'm training hard but I always have. I give it 110% in the weight room when I'm in there, and I do cardio at 90-95% heart rate twice a day. Morning and night. Morning session is usually 25 minutes, night 15 minutes. So no, nothing has changed at all since I've been on.

I'm getting really hungry at night and really hungry in the morning. These two things did not happen before I began this cycle.

Oh well. Time to eat!!!

Did you forget that test builds muscle and muscle requires fuel? You are building more lean mass so your metabolic rate and caloric needs are increasing.

Try drinking Casin with 1 oz. almonds before bed. Also, if you wake up in the midddle of the night drink another casin drink.

I drink a lot of skim milk before bed, bout 2 cups. Milk protein is 40% casein if I'm not mistaken. I'm going to add almonds tonight.

EDIT: Scratch that. Milk is 80% casein protein.
