Does overeating cause height growth?

[pumpeduppecs]

I was an obese child and was fat my whole life until mid 20s now I’m 6’5. My dad was like 5’11 and my mom was something like 5’5 for the constant calorie surplus make me tall? My grandpa was tall also so maybe sine recessed genes

No it doesn’t. If that was the case, then everybody would be stuffing their fucking faces.

Studies have proven that obese people tend to be taller.

Overeating PROTEIN will raise your HGH. Particularly the amino acids arginine/citrulline (which converts to arginine in the body), ornithine, and glycine. But just eating in general, no.

I'm 189cm, grew taller than my dad, but I was very skinny as a child / teen. I carried on growing until around late 19 / early 20s, when at 18 I decided to eat more and workout.

It could easily just be coincidence and more related to me taking longer to go through puberty (until my hair started receding I could easily pass as a few years younger). I'm also autistic and autistic people tend to be slightly taller on average, maybe it's just that.

It's most likely a genetic limit, but eating more healthy food / exercising will help you reach that limit. So eating well won't necessarily make you taller, but eating poorly can make you shorter.

Can't remember exactly I think around 6ft 1

where tf did you get that source from? Because almost every autist ik is manlet lmao

Another autistic user. Autists I know also tend to be taller, but that's just anecdotal.

Go on incels.is, all the autistic users there are short aswell

But that's survivor bias.

yeah all the autists i know tend ON AVERAGE to be taller/lankier

Wym survivor bias bro.
The giga-manlets killed themselves, so in reality it's even worse.

All the autists i know are shorter than me where i live and on .is where do you live? Jfl at lankier too. Most autists can’t control what they eat cause there usually picky eaters and end up eating junk

Because the ugly short manlets are more likely to be on incels.is. That's survivor bias. Basically looking at a very small dataset, then extracting those results making the assumption that everything is like that, despite the initial sampling being very flawed in the first place.

Makes sense.

 

[LooksOrDeath]

It causes fat growth for sure

Where did u get the assumption that autists r taller

IDK, I just see it getting thrown around tbh. I mainly put it there as a disclaimer, but it would reflect personal experience, but then the opposite can also be true for other people. There was a study done where the Autistic children were taller, but it says that's only within an age range, not overall.

 

[risque_dew]

From my experience, most autists I have encountered are generally taller.
