Here’s an update on my post fin progress. I have been off fin for about 6 weeks now, and on the protocol for about 5 weeks. I have accumulated 11 of the herbs that CD recommends. I take daily cold showers, train about 5 days a week and incorporate HIIT, eat a paleo diet with one “cheat” day, avoid all gluten, do body scrubbing, and meditation. I have not started sun bathing yet, since every day is about 35 degrees here in NYC.
I feel like my recovery is going well. The general feeling of calmness and contentment has returned to my life. I am no longer nervous and un-easy about my life and future. I am not longer depressed basically. I still have days where I don’t feel super happy, but those days are much less common.
Physical changes include having a much easier time putting on muscle. In 5 weeks of being fin free and on the herb cycle while training regularly I'm noticing myself looking more bulky and muscular, especially with a pump after a training session. My dick now looks like it used to as well, meaning it’s no longer smaller and dead feeling. I still have days where it looks a bit dead, but it’s balanced by days where it doesn’t.
My face seems to look better and a little less puffy, but it’s very subtle. Sleep has improved as well, but I do have one or two nights a week where I wake up in the middle of the night and cant fall back sleep. It's not bad though. I notice I sleep WAY BETTER if I dont eat 5 hours before bed.
A big challenge for me now is trying to curb the masturbation. Since my libido is returning,. It is much harder to avoid jerking off. On the days where I take some of the stronger herbs I can easily jerk off twice. When I do that I end up feeling tired and worn out. It just doesn’t feel healthy. I’m getting a grasp on some of the patterns that lead me to jerking off like clicking youtube videos with attractive girls in them, or going to reddit and clicking a NSFW link. I’m taking steps to avoid these triggers.
Another downside is that my hair is shedding again, but that’s to be expected, and thankfully now at 32 years old I am no longer as vain as I was when I was 27. Priorities shifted from trying to get laid to building a business and a meaningful future. I’m much more happy with that, since striving for validation from girls via getting laid is a really crappy way to waste half a decade.
That’s it for now. I am looking to do another juice cleans in a few months. I absolutely loved how I felt on it and want to do it again.
