[QUOTE="madman, post: 111689, member: 13851"] Of course excess calorie restriction will lower ones t levels as the body is in survival mode.....let alone if one were to cut calories too much beyond ones maintenance level and also follow a low fat diet than it is even worse as higher fat diets 30-40% composed of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids as well as dietary cholesterol have been shown in studies to increase testosterone levels. Forget trying to follow a diet that resembles human breast milk.....that is for infants! If anything you just need to be in a slight calorie surplus 250-500 cal/day above maintenance and make sure 30-40% of your calories are from fat (saturated/monounsaturated).....eat whole eggs, butter, fattier cuts of beef, drink whole milk, olive oil, avacado oil or avacados, macadamia oil or macadamia nuts and fattier cuts of poultry have a lot of monounsaturated fats (chicken thighs). As far as carbs forget the sugar and eat lower g.i. starchy complex carbs- oatmeal, yams, sweet potato, basmati or parboiled rice, quinoa, buckwheat, beans and legumes or if you want low fiber than eat starchy carbs low in fiber. Higher fat/moderate-higher protein/low fiber diets are best for increasing ones endogenous testosterone levels. [/QUOTE]
