Recognizing an Abusive Relationship with Exercise and Diet
The individual is abusing exercise and diet, using them to feel like they are doing something right and not for actual results or to feel good. This dysfunctional relationship is like a drug addiction, where the individual abuses exercise and diet despite the poor results and feeling terrible. Testosterone replacement therapy won't be a complete solution as it will only mask some symptoms. The suggested approach includes taking a complete two-week break from workouts, increasing calorie intake, and gradually reintroducing strength training while maintaining a consistent calorie level to allow the body to heal.
