What's your body fat percentage?

 

[moggr2009]

yes if your malnourished

just do a light calorie deficit (like 500) for a bit until you're at your desired weight

don't think you can really stunt your growth unless you're literally african child tier starving with 0 nutrients

No nothing short term will do anything

You have like less than 1% that you will make it to 6ft

Do you want to prioritize growing (permanent)
Or prioritize getting lean (temporary)

Light caloric deficit won’t stunt shit

Fasting increases HGH, if you wanna grow you should be as lean as possible cause fat aromatizes into estrogen. However, if you are 15 and still 5'8 it's most likely over since most guy reach their definitive height at this age
