Is cutting as a teenager dumb?

[lonelycurry]

I have a fat puffy face but my body is thin, i have some fat on my tits and stomach. i have 20-21% body fat. I am afraid if i go on a cal surplus i will get more fat and bloated and more depressed. Would it be dumb to go on a 200-300 cal deficit for a month? I only have to lose 5-6 pounds. Would this stunt my growth?

how old are you? A 200 cal deficit won't stunt your growth if you can still grow tbh

i wouldn't risk it tbh, atleast wait until 19 or 20 to be sure that you didn't stunt your growth by cutting

Cutting is fine, just don't overdo it. Growth hormone levels actually increase during fasting and when you lose body fat

if you're growth plates are still open you should be consuming a high protein diet; maybe supplment some dhea to stimulate more longitudinal bone growth
