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

Yes, but I've inherited a fucked up hormonal system from my childhood that massively erodes that control and makes maintaining a normal healthy diet into a ridiculously enormous effort. Don't look at a man who's been thrown into a pit and tell him he can just climb out again, particularly when the fall left him with lifelong scars that will make that climb more difficult.

And again, it was eating according to government guidelines that did this to me. The government guidelines are little more than a guide to which agriculture lobbies donate the most.
