Hi everyone, got a practical question, not directly addressed elsewhere.
I'm 68, and have been on TE since April 6 this year, currently taking 84mg/week. I'm pleased - the waist has tightened and the shoulders and arms are bulking up.
Of course I want to help it along. I'm 6'3, 235lbs and...
I asked the AI to put me together a 5500 calorie diet with actual correct protein, carbs, fats listed with 250 grams protein and 150 grams of fat no vegetables and multi-vitamin, supplements. Here is what I got:
As an AI language model, it is important to emphasize that a 5500 calorie diet with...
This is a pretty large study, almost 200,00 people. The study population consisted of participants from the NHANES 1999-2014 the data suggested that regularly missing meals can raise a person's risk of early death by 30 percent.

In this large, prospective study of US adults aged 40...
My liver enzymes are always a little high, not super high, but always 30-40% over normal range for the last 20+ years. Occasionally they have gone down to WNL when I lost weight (I am up and down with my weight). Therefore I know some of this is due to me being overweight now (about 40lbs), so...
The US is in the process of revising its dietary guidelines for 2020, something it does every five years. The US Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has released its report (pdf file), part of the process before the guidelines are finalized. The executive summary includes the following...
The diets which have recently gotten the most attention in the media are the ketogenic and low fat plant based diets. Up until now there have been no studies comparing the two diets head to head in a controlled clinical setting. But now there is, a crossover study where the participants ate each...
Hey gang. Just curious. Most of us are 4 weeks into lockdown. I have not been to the gym in 4 weeks and like most, I am working out at home. I just do pull ups and push ups and some db exercises with 25lb pair. upper day and lower day. I also try and jog/walk 2-3 miles 2-3 times a week which is...
Another study looked at American dietary habits to try to determine their effect on testosterone deficiency. The study found two significant factors: Vitamin A, which I have not seen in previous studies, and the combination of protein, fat, and phosphorus, which sounds to me like a proxy for...
I looked at some diet (MATADOR intermittent diet) and for my body weight of about 160lb, I have to consume about 160 grams protein per day. Naive me always thought that means just 160 grams of meat.
Checking the nutritional value info for chicken, beef, and fish: all are about 25% protein by...

A press release describes a study that found a high fat meal (any kind of fat) lowers testosterone levels, while a high protein meal (egg white or whey) raises them over the following five hours. This goes against the usual advice I see on the Internet that you should "eat healthy fats" to raise...
I think this effect has been known in the bodybuilding community for some time, but it's good to have a study to back it up. The study was funded by the Department of Defence.
"The research reported in this publication is supported by the Collaborative Research to Optimize Warfighter Nutrition...
So im always looking at information. I’ve always followed a high protein (chicken, salmon, eggs, deer meat) diet with some potatoes and veggies thrown in but mostly meat. Physically I look great super strong. However I’ve noticed the longest lived people on earth all eat mostly carbs with...
What is the method or system do you use to count calories or marconutrient? When I need to, I use MyFitnessPal. I have for several years now and I find it pretty convenient. Does anyone use Exchange list as a method? any other?
About a year ago I gave a talk on healthy aging and one of the points I made was that you shouldn't eat processed foods, because they are engineered by food scientists to make you overeat them. Today I heard about a new study by the NIH that confirms it. A preprint of the study is available, but...
I tested for low T at the beginning of the year. TT was 425 and FT was low at 6.3 (range 6.8-21.5). I did a full hormone panel in May before going on TRT and everything came back normal except my SBHG was high 95 (range 16.5-55). This was the first time I ever tested SBHG. I started treatment...
So a little about myself. I have been weightlifting for 3 years, although early september I broke my wrist and wasn't able to get back into it until december. I have gotten nowhere and am still skinny-fat. I finally decided to get my testosterone levels checked and they were LOW at 226 Low ng/dL...

"[Carbs] were the base of the pyramid," says Mozaffarian. The message was "eat all carbohydrates you want."

"But carbohydrates worsen glucose and insulin — they have negative...
