/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.

So did finally one of you get his test measured?

This.

Ok, I'm doing it. Seems like the easiest way would be to blend it with water and lemon juice and chug it

Yeah. Dude posted a before picture, will update the new one in 19 days about.

>Based on a study conducted by Iranian scientists

>lime/lemon juice
Would oranges work?

You summoned me?

I'm somewhat skeptical but if this works out for you then I'm in, thanks for doing this, bro.

Stress, depression, lack of social interaction and an year long exercise stasis are making me feel like a shitty man, hollow shell of what I once was. Getting back on track now after I actually failed to get it up with a grill and realized something was wrong with me (though it could be due to how wasted I was).

Are there any other proven quick test boost foods or methods I could start with right now?
I'm already on cold showers, eating meat, no porn/fap and getting sunlight.

This but bigly

It will be £100 wait.
But it's worth it regardless.

Veg
Dark chocolate
Watermelon
Good quality meat.

Sleep
Zma

As for not getting it up, that's mental.

I had it.

Basically porn is a no no.
Fapping is ok just not to anything porn or instant gratification inducing.

100 waisted

Holy shit is that jaw from the test or the chewing?

I'm gonna see if I can eat at least one raw, did I prepare well?

This is my before pic.

The new is from

Great diet
10 plus years on and off of lifting.

I guess I also like chewing gum?

Hopefully it will be better after 20 days?!

Nvm

I just blended a bulb of garlic with melted butter, spread a thick layer over brown bread toast.

I then ate the whole thing as quickly as possible. It tasted good but within SECONDS I was in unimagineable pain.

I made myself do it but I was nearly sick. I eat spicy curries a fair amount but this was a different kind of pain.

Garlic is similar to onion for test boost. But I was also mixing it with Vitamin C (half a pineapple) for 300% nitric oxide and nitrates.

If the pain weren't there I would have actually enjoyed the taste.

I've only just finished it. I am a tad scared about what its going to do to my gut. I washed my mouth under a cold water tap for 5 minutes.

The more it burns the more allicin though. I really got an insane amount of allicin.

Peanut butter, honey, and lemon juice.

Its gonna taste weird

You’re not supposed to eat a bulb of raw garlic at once. It is toxic at that amount

I found it to be quite tolerable atm, it's like a spiced milkshake, sweet, then the onion hits after.

just ate two small onions

I'm already feeling more manly

Why don't you just eat it with food that is usually eaten with raw onions, like hot dogs or hamburgers?

Can we get some stats? Such as age, and average test at that age?

Not enough onion

37 old fag

Pic is me at my most massive.
Man I miss those inhuman days

your testosterone is at 0.307? what was the testosterone levels of those buzzfeed soyboys at? wasn't it like in the hundreds wtf

what the fuck are you guys doing? mix it with lemon juive, salt , parsley/coriander and diced tomatoes for an easy salad you can put over everything without the burning or smell

It's a different scale.
I'm not sure how they compare but I'll be fucked if they are higher than mine.

>Based on a study conducted by Iranian scientists
>Believed by vietnamese silverfish trading forum

What scale was the buzzfeed dudes on?

I'll be honest I don't know.

The OP image is literally a copy of some other broscience (i think nofap) with a different drawing. Wow you onion faggots sure are lazy, enjoy never getting pussy you fucking shitbreath.

I hope you anons know this entire onion thing is a meme by either tumblr or reddit to make you look like retards.

Yo u ever work out exactly what that test scale means? Guess it's no big deal either way but I'm used to hearing it in NG per whatever of blood. Well done anyway

Fuuuark u are a great candidate for this onion testing. Low key scared it'll come back negative. Been getting a great buzz off these onions lately and don't want a potential placebo burst. Still, really feels like there's something to it

Blend garlic with lemon and vegetable oil for a garlic emollient that will cause minimal pain:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toum

Alternately you can buy it at certain specialty stores.

Health benefits will always be there even if test boost is fake.

A few days in and my balls feel a bit different to be honest.

>Placebo

You don't need to eat it raw and smell like a fucking shit skin for the health benefits.

very interesting thank you.

I'm going to try an adaptation that fits my macros:

6 cloves garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 pinch salt
1-2 lemons, juiced
-> all blended

based on:
allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/11816/toum--lebanese-garlic-sauce-.aspx

Cruciferous veggies (esp cabbage)
Zinc
Vitamin D

Intermittent fasting can increase test, as well as getting quality sleep.

Avoid simple carbs, soy, flax.

Olive oil is definitely healthier, the veg oil is basically just to create a milder taste.

I usually make huge batches because it keeps well in the fridge and the flavors soften a bit over time. Trick is to add the oil gradually as you blend.

It starts today fit. I hope you're not wrong

Man I'm glad Veeky Forums told me about all these completely legitimate and well sourced methods of maximizing my preformance

Your score would translate to 561ng/dl

>Breitsamer
meddl

Thank you.
I genuinely appreciate that.
How did you convert it?

Day 10 of chugging a chopped up garlic clove with water as the first thing in the morning. Definitely feel hornier. Also, I was quite gassy the first 7 days, and the burps/farts were horrible. They're gone now though.

This is definitely one of the better Veeky Forums memes.

There are calculators online.

>1 study
>on mice
My friend said this was the case, but I was dumbfounded that so many people would jump on a bandwagon with so little empirical evidence.
Welcome to Veeky Forums I guess.

>mfw been on the onion diet for two weeks, haven't been to the gym either for two weeks because of extended thanksgiving vacation
>mfw get back in the gym today and haven't lost any muscle, even added 5 lbs to my bench

This shit really works lads, thanks Veeky Forums.

>reddit

An engineer to the rescue.

Buddy's units of T above are in nmol/L (nano-moles per liter), but the normal units are ng/dl (nano-grams per deciliter).

So basically at 19.5, if you scale it to the proper units, he's at 703. This is pretty fucking good, seeing as how that's almost twice the highest guy's level.

ONIONS GOT HIM A TEST OF 703

O N I O N S . W O R K . B R O T H E R S

>he doesn’t know abt bro-science>STEMfaggots
nerds will never learn

See that's the difference between scientists and engineers. Scientists will just wait for other evidence.
Engineers will use what they have and actually try something with it.

Do you guys eat you onion before or after a work out? I've been doing half an onion in the morning, workout a few hours later, then the other half in the after noon

When are you competing at the ruby?

>rubbed onions on there bodies

Wait I'm 703?

Cool.
That's before.
After onions I will be a test beast!

Yup. Thought it was after.
But yeah, just a matter of unit conversion.

>onion man doubles his test
>becomes a literal "naturally enhanced" athelete
>is crowned king of Veeky Forums
Godspeed onionbrah. You got my vote already

I can't manage 1 a day, will every other day be good too?

What if I already have a natural testosterone of 868 ng/dl?
Will onions literally turn me into hulk?

try this one. banana nullifies onion taste there is just a small smell of it

Try it and get back to us. We all want to know what the results are

I'd say diminishing returns. Onions are good for increasing test production in low-average test individuals primarily, you will get some gains but not as much as a soyboy would.

How would I know tho?

What if im on keto and cant do carbs :^( ?

Just tried putting an entire onion in one burger. Tasted better than you'd think, the ketchup helps hide the taste. You have to slice up the bread thin and layer it with the onion though.

Noted.

probably just water onion and lemon juice since lemon nullifies the taste too

Should women eat onions?

What kind of onion?

unless you guys are planning to eat raw onions like this for the rest of your lives, trying to exogenously raise testosterone levels will only increase it as long as you take these consistently. Your body will always try to stay in homeostasis, so even if there is a noticeable raise in t levels, it will shift the other hormones in your body with it as well. For instance, what happens when you stop taking steroid injections after a while having them raised? your testosterone level plummets and potentially stops your natural production. Same thing with this, but at a lesser degree. I wouldn't play around with your hormones bros.

I'll eat it for life

The difference is that with steroids you're injecting test so the body doesn't feel the need to produce it. With onions you're not directly consuming the test, something in the onions is causing the body to produce more test.

woah hold on a sec. Putting garlic in oil is very dangerous. Botulism risk. It can KILL you. You got to make it fresh every time.

Do not make it in big batches!!!!

theolivepress.com/news-blog/be-aware-of-the-risks-of-botulism-with-homemade-garlic-infused-oil

I think you need to look into the amount of lemon juice used. If its loads of lemon juice then it might be fine.

At a certain point though doesn't excess test just convert back to est?

Can you eat so many onions that your balls shrink

>he isnt in it for life

You need to really chop it finely and leave it exposed to air for 10 minutes to activate the allicin. Extremely important.

And then after ten minutes the allicin has a half life of like 3 minutes. So if you wait 13 minutes you are only getting half the allicin.

Its fucking crazy how accurate you need to be.

I did bulb of garlic about 4 hours ago. Blended and spread on toast, 10 minute waiting period. immense pain. I've since eaten dinner, dessert, had a couple drinks. I still feel like I only just ate a clove of garlic about 30 seconds ago. People in a different room to me commented on the smell of garlic in the corridor.

I don't think this is viable long term.

I don't believe this bullshit meme but onions are great for you, so here is a tip. Mix them with sumac if you can't bear the taste. It is amazing.

you are reaching dangerous levels of testosterone. Please do NOT eat more than half an onion a day without consulting your next of kin

Not wrong to be concerned. My batches last less than a week but maybe I should stop.

who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs270/en/

Botulism can't survive at pH < 4.6, lemon juice is at 2-3. Worth noting that this is NOT an oil infusion but an emulsion, similar to mayonnaise, and the texture should be light, whipped and airy. Botulism requires anaerobic environment to survive.

OK good stuff. Thanks for clarifying

>start eating a whole onion a day but cooked since raw wrecks my digestion
>boner quality increased
>farts smell fucking spicy

I already swallow garlic cloves to keep safe from parasites and eat about one raw onion a day on bread, anyways eating more veggies is never a mistake

The anti onion brigade have moved on to the second stage

(((they're onto us)))

You're wrong 19.5 nmol does not equal 703 ng. Rounded, it eqauls 562. Also 703 is not incredibly high. It's actaully barely above average for a male in a younger age group.

>raw wrecks my digestion
What a load of shit
You know what I call onions? Aromatic apples
I don't know about the benefits of eating onions but my god it must be an american thing that onions are hard to chow down

Enjoy your nasty tasting cummies

Kek

thank you i will :^)

>he isn't in nofap

I do as I please!

Why don't you eat it in the form of pickles or fermented?
you could also ferment your own onions.
Fermentation is used a lot by raw vegans and has a lot of extra benefits
