Awesome I added more fats to keep testosterone levels high which worked but it really screwed up my libido and my moods are really bad,funny I get no cravings for junk while eating like this thank you

I don't believe low carbs leads to a low libido. I've been on a low carb highfat diet for over 4 years and ever since I started TRT my libido has been nothing but through the roof.

tornquad, I do supplement with fish oil ( EPA + DHA 2600mg twice a day and MCT oil 1 tsp twice a day) and eat lots of non starchy vegetables.

In fact, low carb should increase libido:

one thing that might matter is i was doing intermittent fast and not eating till 5 then again at 8

 

[CoastWatcher]

Why the regular fasting?nhave you had blood sugar tested?

 

[tornquad2]

I tried intermittent fasting as the idea seemed good,but I would work all day on empty stomach then eat at home I think this messed me up
