If you body have the capacity to grow many inches in all bones, so why the bones of most people dont grow the sufficient to looks like a chad or prettyboy? GENETICS.
Richard Ramirez had breathing problems, his diet was bad and he drank a lot of soda, his teeth were crooked, and look at him, he has more bones in his face than me in body, GENETICS.

If you eat a lot of shit, like chocolate bars, candy, snacks, soda and so on, and try to do a caloric deficit while on puberty, you might not get the essencial nutrients, harming your growth potential. But only because these type of foods have a lot of calories for so little nutrients and energy. But if you eat "normal food", such as chicken, meat, fish and so on, and do a caloric deficit, you shouldn't have problem at all. But i'd do this as a teenager only if i was fat and had a slow metabolism.

Being in a calorie deficit isn't necessarily the problem, the problem is being in a nutrition deficit. So you can most definitely cut out the sugar, choclate and soda.

Also, you shouldn't cut too hard probably, because to maximize nutritional intake, you actually have to consume quite a bit of calories. If you don't eat diary or fish and you're in a iodine deficiency you can permanently lose 15 IQ points.

It is well known that micronutrient deficiencies change the development of intelligence and iodine is no exception. Lacking in iodine during human development causes a fall, in average, of 12 IQ points

Generally speaking I agree with this:

Yes. Teenagers should never go on a cut srs.

One of the things that i most regret in my life was being very fat at 15-17 yo. Lose weight right now bro. Stop the junk food and little snacks. Eat protein and good food and do some sports. Swimming is the best option tbh ngl. Go to the gym. Just stop being fat.

ONLY EAT WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY. Try to not eat because of anxiety.

[UnderCovrN0rmie]

YES

don't even BOTHER trying to lose weight until you finish growing ffs, losing weight is easy, but being a manlet or a framecel is forevER

Yeh this stuff here is huge. Idk if I'd recommend eating in a caloric deficit, but you can train yourself down to a caloric deficit by swimming, running, weight lifting. Also you should probably start cutting slowly but surely if you're overweight to minimize excess skin.

bro, you dont have to eat at a caloric deficit. You only need to stop eating shit food and snacks all the time and do some exercise. You better start now so you can look at least OK at 18ish.

 

[Deleted member 2205]

Just go on a -200 calorie cut from your TDEE and do extra cardio bro. Malnutrition causes stunted growth, so just hit all your macros.
Don't listen to all of the dumbasses here. The only way you can stunt growth is if you're malnutritioned. Cutting weight won't do anything negative if done in moderation. In fact it may help you grow from reverting your life style by eating foods that actually help your body.

You don't stop growing till age 18-19

This is not true at all. It's unbelievable how much misinformation circulates on this forum. Most men have reached 99% of their final height by age 17, and it's uncommon for a man to grow past age 18. Some men even stop growing as early as age 14. In the future, please don't comment on something you know nothing about

Do you have a source on the iodine and IQ lowering?

according this study by cdc, most people grow from 0.5-1 inch from 17-20

That's only the average growth. It doesn't fit to an individual person. Those who had late puberty will keep growing between 17 and 20 to varying degrees (sometimes a lot more than 0.5-1 inch) while others will grow an insignificant amount or not at all. The average is the amount of growth between these, and is different from the median because the growth isn't normally distributed like height is.

ive researched this topic extensively and normally individuals grow up to 1 inch max after 17-20. your point is invalid, we still GROW at this stage.

he and I could grow 2 inches, or 2 mm, we dont know. but there still may be growth.

It completely depends on the person. Some will still grow at age 18 but others will have stopped years earlier and won't grow even a millimeter after 16. Of course there still may be growth, but there might not. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. I am talking about natural height growth btw, not theoretical height increase via HGH/AI use

 

[shimada]

obivously, thats why poor countries have short people

malnutrition
