What else is there? My diet is good, I get regular sunlight, regular socialization, etc..
Time?
How long did it take you to drive your metabolism down? How long have you been meeting your nutritional needs for (including eating to appetite)?
Have you had any improvements in any areas since you made these changes? If you've not had any improvements, then it seems reasonable to consider other approaches. If you've had some beginning changes to a good direction, then it could be that you are on a good path and will eventually get improvements in more areas. Libido is not always the first function to come back on line - if you have been depleted, the body may have other priorities to attend to first.
My libido was fine until march and then I lost it during a period of high stress (unrelated to exercise or under-eating), despite having good temps and pulse during the time my libido disappeared. I was peating during the time that my libido disappeared.
The extreme stress ended around June, and I stopped exercising at the end of August.
But the issue is that for a week during the summer my libido came back but disappeared after that week. I have no clue why this happened. During this time I switched to synthetic thyroid from NDT.
I need to feel fine now, I don't have time. That is why I am trying other things in addition to the diet.
So, I lost the libido five months or so ago. I might just use trt indefinitely to make sure this does't happen again, I don't know if I can lift heavy and keep my health without outside hormonal support.
