I used google translate, there may be errors in the text. The blood serum analysis is attached below (magnesium is high because I forgot not to take magnesium supplements before testing).
19 years old male, 5'6 height, 126-132 lbs (depends on glycogen and water retention). Lost weight from 163 pounds to 126 after trying to restore health with the "all in" method, but got even more problems: joint pain, a little gyno, sweating, apathy, depression, etc. No fap and no porn because I have no libido 90 percent of the day. The erection is worse than before, but with 5-10 mg of Cialis in the morning on the day of sex (it's not regular and I'm talking about sex), everything is fine.
The weight remained in the same range, but the quality of the body changed towards puffiness and lack of muscle tone. Now there are no six pack, muscle definition and so on.
I've tried reducing the training volume by 50 percent and lowering the intensity by removing failure sets, but it didn't work.
Now I don't exercise at all.
Without nicotine, I get headaches, weakness, irritability, a sucking pain in my stomach, and indomitable hunger and appetite. I usually get 10-20mg of salt nicotine through vaping. I do not use alcohol, weed or other drugs. Didn't take supplements on a regular basis.
I used to be a competitive boxer, training 5 times a week for 2 hours + every day pull-ups, push-ups, plank 20-30 minutes a day. It's been over a year since I stopped boxing training. I was tired of having to get into a weight class that didn't suit me physically (123.5 lbs). Constantly felt tired, dizzy, cold. Then there were small problems with sleep, such as falling asleep for a long time and I got up 3-4 times to go to the toilet. I had no erections and no sex drive for 6 months while I was boxing. Generally.
Because of my symptoms, I went to a psychiatrist and then to a psychotherapist. Took SSRIs for about 4 months. I stopped taking them because because of them I had no sports aggression and desire to train. After I stopped taking Prozac, my average weight dropped from 132 pounds to 128 (although I ate more and my boxing workouts didn't change).
I also have a problem with dairy products. Stuffy nose, constipation, depression, I want to close myself in the room from everyone and not leave the house at all, weight gain and hunger with appetite. But I haven't tried raw milk yet. I'm afraid it will bring back these symptoms again, but it's worth a try. At the age of 15, I perfectly absorbed store-bought fermented milk products in large quantities, for example, 500 grams of cottage cheese, 100-200 grams of sour cream and 500 ml of kefir per day without the symptoms that I have now.
All my food intolerance problems started after I tried a raw fruit diet and veganism. This took about 1 year. From 15 to 16-16.5 years. Did it to cure my dermatitis because the doctors couldn't help me. Vegetarianism didn't work for me. My atopic dermatitis and dyshidrosis went away on their own at the 18 years.
After trying keto and carnivore with IF (16/8, 18/6, 20/4, 23/1) I went from 124-132 lean pounds to 143 fat and swollen pounds. Unfortunately, I have repeated this many times and now my biggest weight in my life is 163 lbs. I really don't want to gain this weight again, but my appetite and hunger are hellish. At 17 I could eat 3000-3500 calories a day and not gain weight and had no fluid retention, although my activity was not high (no more than 10k steps and 3 workouts per week in the gym). I don't think it's because I stopped growing, because I haven't grown since I was 15.
Now, in order to reduce, but not eliminate, fluid retention and other symptoms, I eat foods that I can tolerate better. Raw beef (usually minced meat 88% lean), fruits (grapes, plums, oranges, but most often local raw honey), salt, mineral water or tap water (we don't have fluoridation and I use little water 100-500 ml) , now added organic cocoa.
On average: at least 500 grams of beef, 300 grams of honey or the same amount of carbohydrates from fruits, 5 grams of salt, 10-20 grams of cocoa. I usually eat 3 times a day. All food for the day is divided into three meals.
I started drinking magnesium citrate 500 mg a day in the evenings. I feel relaxed and slightly drunk, but it does not help me fall asleep. Once in this state I lay all night with my eyes closed and did not fall asleep.
The results of the leptin, free testosterone, aldosterone and reticulocytes tests will be ready in a few days, then I will attach them here.
Introduction
I have been following the forum for about 1 year, but have not found a solution for myself.19 years old male, 5'6 height, 126-132 lbs (depends on glycogen and water retention). Lost weight from 163 pounds to 126 after trying to restore health with the "all in" method, but got even more problems: joint pain, a little gyno, sweating, apathy, depression, etc. No fap and no porn because I have no libido 90 percent of the day. The erection is worse than before, but with 5-10 mg of Cialis in the morning on the day of sex (it's not regular and I'm talking about sex), everything is fine.
The main problem
Now I have been suffering from insomnia since April of this year. I don't sleep at all at night. It turns out to sleep during the day for 3-4 hours, but the sleep is unsatisfactory. All my devices have flux. I have tried avoiding any blue light and gadgets 1-2 hours before bed. I tried walking right before going to bed, eating before bed, not eating for 3-4 hours, magnesium, glycine - nothing helps. I have a comfortable room temperature, a good bed, pillow, moderate darkness, silence, and so on. I don't think that's the issue, as I used to be able to fall asleep at a party sober with no problem.Physical activity and exercise
I can no longer tolerate training, walking 20 thousand steps (from 0 to 10 thousand now). When exercising, I feel dizzy, very fast heartbeat and nausea (previously trained 3 times a week, pull-ups 5 sets to failure with 5 minutes rest between sets + every day 30 quality slow burpees with high jumps and of course walking 10 miles / 20 thousand steps).The weight remained in the same range, but the quality of the body changed towards puffiness and lack of muscle tone. Now there are no six pack, muscle definition and so on.
I've tried reducing the training volume by 50 percent and lowering the intensity by removing failure sets, but it didn't work.
Now I don't exercise at all.
Clarifying details
I stopped drinking coffee, but I still use nicotine, before it did not affect sleep. I use vaping only for appetite control, because now even when I smoke, I constantly want to eat.Without nicotine, I get headaches, weakness, irritability, a sucking pain in my stomach, and indomitable hunger and appetite. I usually get 10-20mg of salt nicotine through vaping. I do not use alcohol, weed or other drugs. Didn't take supplements on a regular basis.

Diet
I have problems with grains such as intestinal pain, increased hunger and appetite, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain and weight gain. Tried wheat, oats, rice, etc. Rice is the best for me, but it kills libido, makes me even more puffy and tired.I also have a problem with dairy products. Stuffy nose, constipation, depression, I want to close myself in the room from everyone and not leave the house at all, weight gain and hunger with appetite. But I haven't tried raw milk yet. I'm afraid it will bring back these symptoms again, but it's worth a try.

Conclusion
This year I entered the university at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports. I will need to do boxing again, as this is the only direction that suits me at this university. Classes at the uni starts on September 1st, and I haven't slept well in 4 months. What should I do?The results of the leptin, free testosterone, aldosterone and reticulocytes tests will be ready in a few days, then I will attach them here.
Thank you all for your attention. Denis.
