+ 1 Low Testosterone and food.
I read a post about increasing your testosterone levels naturally this morning by “ Giardap” I thought it was interesting and had lots of good information and expert advice from study’s to back it up. I also read a study last week about food lowering you testosterone levels.

First I thought it was an interesting and exaggerated read. Fatty food lowering levels 30% BS I said. But I retained the information.
I got labs roughly two weeks before I read the study at 6am and my T was 394 ng/dL and my free T was 6.4 pg/ml posted on eroids.
Free T flagged low.
So like all my concerned brother suggested I went to the Dr and asked about TRT and got some official labs done last Friday@ 10 am
I ate 4 cheese sticks an hour before my labs and ......
My T was 257 ng/dL and my free T was 4.0 pg/mL posted on eroids.
Both flagged low this test.
I think it may have merit wadda u think?

basskiller89I always thought whole eggs raised natural testosterone
Whoah there poncho!
Did you actually read the study brotha? You linked an abstract.
I did get access to the full publication and it does not correlate fatty meals with testo reduction in any way shape or form. It doesnt say it or even suggest it.
What it did prove was that in a fasted state, when you eat a meal of ~ 30/30/40 p/f/c you see a reduction in testo for a period of time.
You might have confirmed that any meal will reduce testo or perhaps not, or that insulin does it, or that fat does it and on and on and on.... or not!
It is really interesting though but i can tell you personally high fat vlc diets smash testo upwards..... but not necessarily anything to do with testing fasted...!
Maybe you could replicate your own study with carbies next time??? Could be really interesting???
A + for intelligent thoughts
The fatter you are or the higher your bmi, the less testosterone you have and the more E2. Testosterone correlates with muscle. If you lead a sedentary life and lack physical activity your body will not produce a lot of test, why should it? If you eat lots of foods soaked in fats the same measure applies, body cant convert a lot of fat into energy so it takes the surplus and stores it, body says no test needed.
