And where is your T level at then??I'd be happy to answer any questions and hopefully help anyone out there reading this who is suffering from low T themselves (it's no life to be had at all). The reason I felt the need to post this was partially to offer hope to those that it's very possible to restore T levels without having to go on TRT. There's a thread on here from a person who tripled their test levels, which was actually one of the things that inspired me to follow Peat's work, so hopefully I can help someone else in the same way.
Basically macros look like this; 60% carbs from sugars and white rice. 20-25% protein from various sources, 15-20% fat mainly from dairy and some chocolate.
I've eaten this sort of macro split for 2-3 years, however previously the carbs came from whole grains and the fat from pufa's. Looking back on my cronometer entries from 2 years ago, there were some days I was eating upwards of 60g PUFA (flax seeds, fish oil etc) and 70g of fiber. Saturated fat intake was low. I was reaching these figures due to high calorie intake from my work. I usually eat around 3500kcal a day. I'm about 75kg at 10-12% body fat.
I try not to work out too much now, I usually stick to body weight exercises when I do. I started the slow descent to physical decline in my early 20's from too much lifting, so I know from experience the havoc it can cause. Even without much formal exercise, on this diet my muscle mass is the same as when lifting.
Supplement wise, the ones I use regularly (but not daily) are Vitamin E, K2, and Taurine. I also use a small amount of Pregnenolone (10-20mg) when I need a mental boost. Too much frequency or too large a dose I've found to induce what I can only assume to perhaps be too much progesterone (very noticable face lift but no libido).
If anyone is interested I can go into more detail on various areas of my life that have improved over the past few months.
Thanks for reading.
