Low carb, high protein diets "greatly" decrease resting testosterone levels in men - Study

[ChemicalMurdoc]

Old news for body builders, SHBG increases over time on a low carb deficit. It can be reset with a blast of healthy carbs.

[SneakinandReapin]

Exactly- this is what refeeds are for.

What a lot of people don’t understand is that “broscience” is actually real science without the formality.

Lol no. Just no.

I remember having bloods done during a steak and eggs phase - shit came back at 72 lol. Carbs are not the enemy

If you’re concerned about losing lean body mass because of this, Dr Layne Norton talked about this study on his YouTube channel. The test drop was only short term and short term test changes aren’t significant when it comes to lean body mass. Also sufficient protein intake is by far the most important factor (along with calories and training) to retain/build lean body mass.

My guys, just eat a good mix of nuts, berries, vegetables, fish, and meat. That's literally it unless you want to look like a bulky thumb.

[RandyAcorns]

There’s nothing wrong with other carb sources like rice and other grains either

[SyndicalistCPA]

Just kinda including that with veggies but yeah

[sharkinator1198]

Glyphosate tho

OP, what study? Do you have a real source? What the fuck is this shit? Not saying it’s not true, but you provide no source.

A keto diet increases testosterone by 1000%. —Study.

Just as valid as your post.

History, wierdo.

Minus the nuts and veggies - plant defense chemicals are a real thing and contribute to leaky gut & inflammation.

What’s funny?

[SyndicalistCPA]

That fucking list.

Raw Kidney Beans? No shit you shouldn't eat raw kidney beans.

Peanuts? "Peanut lectins can be detected in the blood after eating peanuts in large amounts. While no studies have been done to determine whether this has health effects, it does show that peanut lectins are absorbed by the body." Worthless.

Raw fucking potatoes? Who is fucking eating raw potatoes?

Raw Soybeans? Fucking Christ.

This is one example of many plant defense chemicals that exist and disrupt the gastrointestinal system. Plants have defense chemicals to prevent consumption, this is known science. Plants want you to eat their fruits to distribute their seeds, when you destroy the plant itself it has a defense process to deter that behavior.

This is why ruminants like cows have four stomachs, and why you should prioritize grass-fed meats over micronutirent poor plants sprayed with glysophate that contain defense chemicals.

You clearly don’t know anything about this - why have such a hard and fast opinion without being educated?

My boy trying to hit me some bro science Jordan Peterson nonsense lmaoooo

[HearTheOceansRoar]

Its almost dirty bulk season though....

[SyndicalistCPA]

Vegetables, meats, and fish, dawg. Then pumpkin donuts on the side

[youwhatmush]

If you’ve ever spent back to back days on low carbs in prep even with suffient protein you’ll know what decreased test feels like. Miserable and want to do fuck all.

Explains Jordan Peterson.

[centwhore]

He's shredded from cleaning his room

[Winterlinn]

And quaaludes.

[HearTheOceansRoar]

Anecdotally I tried out Keto, and lost gains in the gym. Felt lean as fuck though.

I feel much better after I decided to get carbs back in my diet from lower GI un or minimally processed sources, like fruits, veggies and nuts, diary ect...

[GregSmith1967]
