I want to change my diet and lifestyle??? URGENT !!! PLEASE?
Oh Hey ! What’s up?! How you doing ? lol
Alright here’s the deal
I’m 16, turning 17 in April and i’m 5"6
I’m thinking of majorly switching my lifestyle up cos i feel like i can still grow alot more cos my dad is 5"5 and so is my mom, but males on my mom’s side are GIANTS.
And my brother, who took most of my mom’s genes, just turned 15 this month and is 5"5! so he’s definitely gonna be tall when he’s around my age lol.
Well i have a high metabolism, I dont always smoke, but occasionally, I drink occasionally too, i never sleep early, i on average get like 4 or 5 hours of sleep everyday, I play basketball, but only once a week, during gym class in school, and i have really long legs but a short torso, i wear size 32 length trousers (and i’m a boy btw, i’m aware that most girls have naturally long legs) and really long hands(i can stand up straight and touch the top of my knee caps easily lol)
So this is my plan
I will make my sleep pattern better, having at least 8-9 hours of sleep each day, even on weekends.
I will have all 3 aquare meals each day, but what times will it be best for me to have those meals so that the nutrients will help me achieve maximum growth? Also, what kind of meals should i have? more protein? more carbs ? i dont know lol, please tell me
I will stop smoking, i might have a ciggarrete maybe every once in like a month or something, when i go to parties or something
^^ Same for drinking
I’m gonna become an avid swimmer as i hear swimming helps so i’ll go swimming for about an hour at least 5 times a week. What times would be most effective for me to swim to achieve maximum growth? p.s the swimming pool closes at 8 on weekdays and at 6 on weekends. And what strokes should i do to achieve maximum height, HGH secretion and all that?
I’m also gonna become more into basketball as i want to play in college and that
For breakfast, I’m most likely to have a cup of coffee along with my meal, but i’ll always drink a glass of milk before i go to bed. I tend to eat alot of eggs with breakfast so that should help cushion some of coffee’s calcium stealing activities right?
I also eat alot of meat and chicken, not enough vegetables but i’ll start that too
I’ll groom myself really well, practice good hygiene and everything
I’ll do pull ups,everyday, when i wake up, and before i go to bed, Probably like 40 a day
I’ll follow this plan rigorously then after like 2 or 3 months i’ll start to take some calcium supplements, amino acids and such? That okay?
I know height is in your genes and blah blah blah, but i know i should be tall, cos i’ve always had long legs, always been kinda tall till i was like 11 or 12 then everything started going slow, but i had some bad habits anyway.
I’m also gonna take an xray to see if my long bones have fused or closed or something which leaves me at my final height which i doubt.
I know Scotty Pippen grew over 4 inches after he was 22 in his NBA career and a bunch of other NBA stars, probably cos of the rigorous training? I don’t know but i know i should be wayyy taller than this
So what you think of the plan, sound good, any possibility of it working?
Also, please answer the questions i asked at the end of each resolution
Thank you ![]()

I LOVE IT!
To be honest I kinda wrote some of this down, you’ve really inspired me.
I have the exact same situation as you. I always search on this topic.
I have recently found & been following this:
http://www.ehow.com/way_5707523_supplements-height-growth.html
http://www.giantscientific.com/height_gain_supplement.html
(I PROMISE & Can assure you there are not scam **** or pills or a/t. Just nutrition.
As it says, for our age we should be taking:
1300 mg of Calcium a day (That’s about 4 cups of milk per day, you can totally just take the vitamin- which usually comes with Magnesium which helps with the absorption)
2000 IU of Vitamin D (Contributes to the absorption of Calcium- so should be taken together or after)
1500 mg of Glucosamine & 1200 mg of Chondroitin (They are for your cartilage & joints)
& Lastly, daily regular multivitamins.
The sites have more detailed info& stretching tips such as yoga & hanging on the bar for elongating the spine, s/o answered that in your other question as well.
Don’t listen to other people, have hope and faith. Always Keep Positive & Stay Zen & Happy dude. It is never too late. As long as the mind can believe it, the body can achieve it! (It’s a poster in my school gym…been up there for ages!)
That thing about Scotty Pippen was really inspiring as well, so there is proof that it can be done.
Everything that you wrote seems just about right. It is soo calming to know I am not alone on this. Just remember to keep everything in balance and moderation & don’t wear yourself out. But yea, I believe in it.
Give feedback on how things go!
Anything else; my email is persianmafia417@aim.com(I mostly check this one)
Soo radd & Happy for you man!!!!!!!
And remember: "Hope is the most precious treasure for a person." (Secret: It was actually written in my fortune cookie yesterday! ha people always pick the first ones they need)
Good Night & Good Luck
