/OG/ - Onion General

For the discussion of the consuming of onions and onion related activities. New bread since a janitor decided to delete every single onion general thread, just the ones that I conveniently linked.

>why should I eat onions?
Based on a study conducted by Iranian scientists, they've found that the equivalent of 1 onion a day in humans increased serum testosterone in rats by nearly 300%.
It has also been shown by small groups of communities to stop balding, as well as grow hair back when applied on the balding areas, however, no major studies have been conducted on this, but you can probably guess (((why))). Recently, another study has been discovered showing the same results with even greater effects.

>does it have to be raw?
Yes. The study was conducted with raw onions. Cooked onions have been reported to not work.
>how much should I eat?
Roughly 1g per KG of bodyweight. A normal sized onion should suffice. Red onions can generally be cut in half.

>How do I eat it?
Some anons have suggested dicing it and mixing with foods. Others have suggested blending it in a smoothie with other vegetables and fruits, bananas in particular. Some have suggested submerging it in lime juice to neutralize the sharp taste. If you have really big balls you can just eat it raw, some anons who have done this reported that it begins to taste good once you get used to it.

>which type is best to eat?
Red onions is the general consensus, although it will sting the most. White onions follow, which is a good jumping off point to becoming an onion man, below that is yellow and green.

>How do I get rid of onion breath?
Cinnamon, and/or lime/lemon juice.

>Why is there so much anti-onion shilling in these threads?

Aside from the usual naysayers and detractors (it is Veeky Forums after all), the media, led by the pharmaceutical and supplement industry has launched a campaign against us using a variety of shill tactics. Common tactics include:
>Posting threads on Veeky Forums, asking about the validity of the onion "meme", quickly following up with an anti-onion reply as the first post.
>Anti-onion posts in rapid succession, usually started by the most prominent shill, Sperglord Mcsoyboy, with his trademark "MODS!" reply, followed up by a variety of anti-onion posts in rapid succession, all using the same rhetoric, 'Calling us retards, threatening to kill us for eating onions, etc.'
>Posting a study where the testosterone increase is only 35% instead of 300%. Not only is this incorrect, as it only confirmed the 300% if you actually read the story, but even if it were true, a 35% increase would be well worth it.
>Claiming to have been on the onion diet for months and saying he has felt no effects.
>Claiming all pro-onion posts are working for (((Big Onion))).
>Claiming he's tried it, and stunk of onions for weeks afterwards. Not only is this untrue, but the only stink will come out from your breath if you maintain proper hygiene.
>Discrediting the Onion Pill by simply calling it a "meme".

>what happened to the old onion generals?

We assume a janitor or mod that was sick of them decided to delete them all, whether they were fitness related or not. Thankfully he was lazy and only deleted the ones we linked.

Good luck on your journey lads, we're all gonna make it.

Bump for the onions

I have sent my blood before onions.
I will send them off again at the start of the new year after eating about 150 - 180g of raw onions a day.

I'll post results when I get them.

>onions

Just ate my first one straight raw lads, same way I eat apples. Burnt like hell but when I was through half of it I noticed that my sinuses cleared up for the first time in a week (I have dust mite allergies). Finished the rest of it and feel pretty great. I'm going to do this everyday. I might even ditch my anti-histamine pills if I can replace it with onions.

How do we call the one raw onion a day diet?

I just ate a red onion and it feels awful, I wasn't even able to finish it

I hope you guys are telling facts because i cant get this taste off my mouth

>A vegetable is a meme

Don't eat onions whole like apples. Just a friendly reminder. Make a salad or something. Don't be like this retarded faggot and then have the audacity to come complain for your own idiocy.

Can't wait user. On day 5 of the Shrekening and It's the first time I've been able to get out of bed before 12 and stay awake in years. Onions are doing it for me

Glad to hear it!

If the results are of any significance will this be the first for human testing?

On this scale probably

There's only 1ROAD if you wish to make it

>1ROAD
Ok, that looks way better.

Eat my onion!

Any tips for blending? What does it go well with? How much water?

Don't

croatian girls best girls

Slice and dice using knife. Recipe in pic.

>Not GOOJAD (Gallon of Onion Juice a Day)

>miss a week due to exams
>go to the gym
>locker room smells like onions

A single blood test doesnt equal a lab controlled test. Human trials record everything the person does and eats to assure no other factors are affecting it. Getting too little or too much sleep can throw off hormone blood tests. Also a sample size of one mean experimental error would be off the charts.

>tfw when Veeky Forums used to make fun of misc and say they were the meme fitness community but not even misc was stupid enough to fall for this

Times really have change lads, the influx of newfags have changed this sites demographic beyond repair. Scooby was right all along.

Ugh... just immersion blended a red onion in a bit of water to make a onion smoothie and slammed it... I am doing everything I can nit to throw up right now. It burns in my stomach so damn much right now.

Nice. Try not to change your lifestyle too much until your next blood work for accurate results

I would like to share my observations with you gouys about this onion matter.

7 days ago I've started what I call a Beetroot and onion challenge. Every evening I put one beetroot and two onions into a juicer, then I add one squeezed lemon to it and drink it.

The taste of raw onion juice is beyond horrible, even watered down with a whole beetroot. Worse then the taste, after drinking this potion I get those painfull stomach aches and they last about 20 minutes. While I'm having them I only want to puke what I have drank. It's like my body treats this juice like poison.

I haven't noticed any difference in form, but my sex drive went up. I don't know if it's placebo or not but I think I have more stamina during sex, just like after drinking 2 beers (euro beers not mongrel piss 56 proof).

A funny thing, my wife said my semen tastes like onions, but It was when I busted a nut into her mouth about 2 hours after drinking the juice, need to do more tests/fuck her mouth in the morning.

I am willing to continue this test throughout december.

I'm really interested in your results user, I hope that mods would do a sticky with it.

>raising his T
Good! Now channel that pain and suffering into anger. The anger will raise your test by a crapload.
(You have no idea how pissed off those rats were after being force-fed through a pipe.)

Although the nausea left within an hour, I was still miffed when going to the gym and worked harder than I've done in a long time.

My sweat has always smelled like onions desu

That's actually what I am doing right now... trying to kill my legs with squats. Still feel the onion in my gut a little, but I don't want to barf anymore.

sorry but i did the lime juice/cinnamon test to get rid of bad breath

it doesn't work, the rancid breath is still there. GF couldnt even talk to me for more than 5 seconds

Fuck it, I'll give it a go. Ain't got nothing better to do with my life anyway

Imma run to the store in 15 minutes. What kind of onions do I need to get?

So far no distinctions have been made in terms of T production, but grab something like a sweet yellow to make your life easier.

Red ones are supposed to be the best... You're gonna have to want to keep them down.

just bought 7 of em

I'm gonna make it bros even if I have to die trying

you fucks just meme everything

>sips general
>saltfag general
>fasting general
>and now a fucking onion general

>my wife said my semen tastes like onions
Can confirm. My semen tastes like 'nyuns too

>tasting your own cum

I am a creature of habit.
I eat same every weekday really and weekends are fairly strict too

Sleep and work are at fairly exact too.

Does anyone make their onion juice in batches? I made some last night, drank half of it and the taste was typically onion, and it gave me terrible stomach pain. I drank the rest in the morning. It was more bitter, but didn't burn as much. Am I getting used to drinking onions, it does it degrade? I stored it in fridge in a sealed container.

I've decided to start my New Year's Resolution early by going full meme and doing NoFap, NoPorn and Cold Showers and whatever else I come across. I'll toss in onions too. I'm tempted to just eat them raw, I'm thinking once a day. My one concern is this

Will I experience any unpleasant gastrointestinal issues if I take this approach? Would I be better off cooking them with butter/oil in a pan or will raw not fuck my stomach up?

hey user, there's no reason to be eating 258g of protein a day
>ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22150425
here's an in-depth meta-analysis of numerous studies on protein intake as correlated with muscle growth
>bayesianbodybuilding.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/
The point is, by eating all that excess protein, you are 1. Pissing it out anyways, your body can only synthesize so much and 2. Missing out on calories that can be used for carbs and fats, which have their own anabolic properties
