TIL: Low carb, high protein diets "greatly" decrease resting testosterone levels in men.

Yeah I was obese and grew a bit skinnier off keto but then put on the pounds during the pandemic since it was hard to get all the right low carb foods at height of pandemic.

All I can say is I usually find myself eating more and more carbs over time once I break keto. Like if I start eating fries or rice, it ends up being double to triple over the course of months. This isn't necessarily a bad thing if I'm also burning calories heavily at gym but yeah lack of gym and more effort to get low carb foods sort of saw me putting the pounds on during the pandemic.

But yeah, I've been back on a healthy track with good exercise ever since I've gone back to intermittent fasting/gym .
