    This is a myth and does not promote weight loss in any way. However, if you have a goal height within an inch or two of your current height, this may temporarily promote increased height for the week or so following a solid thud to the top of the skull . Results improve with a reasonable calorie surplus and regular exercise.

    Remember that it's only a temporary gain, a few days after you start the skull starts to "eat itself" and caves, this is where the losses truly begin :drinker:

    With a weekly knock to the top of he head, callusing may or may not occur, increasing the potential for height gains.

    is this that cranial confusion i keep reading about?

    Most likely, although lately Dr Oz has been calling it the sledgehammer extract cleanse.

    Where exactly are you extracting the sledgehammer from and more importantly how is it getting there in the first place?

    no, that must be something else. i can try that next! he sure is a wonderful wiz, isn't he?

    IIRC, for proper cranial confusion, i have to keep my skull guessing by varying the frequency and intensity at which i am hitting myself. this keeps my skull from adapting and plateauing. if that were to happen, then the sledgehammer would no longer have any effect.

    i sure hope this isn't some sort of sexual innuendo because that is expressly against the community guidelines.

    and if it is... how YOU doin'? :wink:

    You clearly have a "handle" on this and are in no need of advice from the little internets-dwellers. congratulations and good luck on your journey to a taller you.

    STOP!!

    You're doing it all wrong. Hitting yourself with a sledgehammer will not jump start your weight loss. All you're doing is self harming and hurting yourself. You may even lose a few teeth.

    You're supposed to do it upside down wearing a banana hammock. If you don't do it upside down wearing a banana hammock your metabolism will slow down by 85%.

    Broscience. Please.

    OP - You have this all wrong. It doesn't matter what kind of handle the sledge hammer has. What matters is what you do with it. Now, you don't want to hit yourself in the head with it. I worked in an SICU for years, and I can tell you that people who have blunt force injury to the head may end up unconscious, but they also get a lot of swelling, and then they get herniation of the brain, all of which messes with the sympathetic nervous system Then the nurses end up pumping you full of all kids of IV fluids which make you fatter and puffier. Plus they feed you through a nasoenteral feeding tube at a significant increase over your TDEE because they think it promotes healing. This is counter to what you are trying to do.

    So here is how to work this sledgehammer thing. Give the sledge hammer to a close friend. Lay out on a parking lot. Have your friend beat your legs at about mid-thigh. They have to be completely smashed. Make sure they aren't squeamish about this. Now they need to lock you in a closet long enough for the legs to become necrotic, at which point they will atrophy and grow black. Now seek medical attention. Your doctor will have no choice but to perform a double amputation resulting in the most rapid weight loss you could possibly imagine.

    I am so glad I am able to support you on your journey.

    I once accidentally knocked myself out with a claw hammer while replacing the framing around the garage door. I didn't notice any noticeable accelerated weight loss, but I did end up ~$900 lighter in the wallet from the MRI when I went to the ER.

    Perhaps the type of hammer is relevant.

    Great job, OP, for trying to find what works for you. * I wish you nothing but success in all your fitness and health goals. You got this! :flowerforyou: * - ©2013

    I'd highly recommend juicing first before beginning the sledgehammer diet.

    Unnoticeable accelerated weight loss is unnoticeable.

    Dude, that is old school method. Your suppose to sledge directly into your junk. If you don't start losing weight within the first week, your probably in starvation mode and should up the yam-mashing.

    I think it's most effective when done with a partner and is widely used in couples counseling.

    Ignore the naysayers, after a few short months utilizing the sledgehammer technique, you could look like this:

    A lot of people find that being knocked out cold makes them eat less. I say try it. Might work for you - enjoy your journey!

    Bad idea! I know, 'cause I tried this diet. The only thing I lost was inches ... in my height.

    I went from 5'9" to 5' 4". It drastically increased my BMI.

    Dangerous! Use the sledgehammer at your own risk!

    I haven't done this, but I have a friend who did, and she swears by it! She wears her bumps and bruises like a badge of honor, and she says wooden handle all the way. You burn extra calories picking out the splinters. You're welcome!
