This is how you increase testosterone

Interesting topic, one simple theory I have for why testosterone has decreased over generations, is because we are more idle sitting about doing nothing. Our parents would have been outside running about a lot more, doing manual jobs, and this works the body, hence why I think they had higher testosterone. Of course other factors may play in.

This is probably why high intensity training is so good for testosterone. I’ll look into your fasting, I know it has many fantastic benefits, but I’ve been a weightlifter since 15, regular meals has always been my norm, and I’d be worried about losing gains fasting. That being said, one mate who naturally is bigger than me, fasts too, just eats one or two big meals a day, so gaining muscle can be done. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll try it out

My personal problem is extremely low libido from all the P, even extreme P doesn’t get me excited in anyway, I just make myself hard then relapse for no reason at all. Low T is something I wondered, but I’m in great shape, feel good, so I don’t think it’s that.

How has your progress been with beating P addiction since you fasted? I also rate certain foods like eggs, fish, leafy greens, nuts, seeds and liver (once a week) to boost testosterone, bonuses are beetroots and some spices/ herbs for other benefits of blood flow

 

I just wanted to be in shape, and was a skinny kid so added some muscle. As long as you stay natural and don’t use steroids, you won’t gain too much muscle.

Just to add, my libido shot through the roof today, went from 0-100. Only difference past 2 days is I’ve had a ginseng tea, green tea mixed with maca powder, spirulina and wheatgrass powder, with juice to make it nice and eaten more spinach and peas. So I assume at least one of those has made a huge difference and will help us

 

No offense my friend, but t-levels cannot be increased.

Another thing to think about is if you fasted when your t went up, you probably weren't fasting when you took the initial reading. So you likely do not have good numbers.

Another thing you mention is losing hair because of too much testosterone, which isn't true. It is a synthesized form of testosterone that sensitivity causes hair loss, not the kind that is directly produced in the body.

But I do like your ideas on fasting. Too little food is not a major problem right away. Too much food causes so many problems when it is prolonged.

 

I heard red meat was good because of some of the amino acids in it? I’ve had burgers past couple of days, libido shot up even after a relapse, but hard to say right now what caused it

 

I haven’t commented in awhile but I like this convo as I am in my fifth year of recovery. I agree with shadow on his take of low T. Masturbating like guys have lowers it quite a bit but that’s just part of it. T is necessary to build muscle and get you close to the adult male body. Not everyone can get alpha body these days because we don’t move around anymore or do manual outdoor labor. We are getting sedentary and this will continue decline of birth rates. Food is destroying T levels but ruling class want it that way. You have to get physical movement each day, lift weights if want, walk, ride a bike. Fasting I believe does the trick because I have gotten incredible results with water and dieting. Keep away from alcohol and beer as much as you can. It hits men bodies harder as we age. As for libido, I was actually scared out of my mind as well thinking higher T would solve it. It won’t. The only way to get libido back is to stop diddling yourself with your hand and stop the porn. Your mind and body will have no response if you give it your hand all the time. I don’t know how long it takes guys to recover as we are all different ages. Personally good self esteem and confidence raises libido to. Positivity in yourself as well and your work ethic, your abilities as a human being. Porn makes us weak minded and physically pathetic. I’ll go as far as to say even guys having sex all the time is wrong. It weakens you as well. Your chasing dopamine and physical pleasure instead of porn. Be in control of your relationship and the amount of sex. Don’t let the woman control the relationship that way. Above all, you have to want to have sex for libido. When you see a girl you like yeah your wanting her is the libido which is natural. If that’s not there than porn is still a problem.

 

Don't take my word for it. Ask any doctor.

 

I think the main reason testosterone levels have dropped down is the quality of food consumed, and Porn/Masturbation. Eating processed foods and sugars will have a terrible effect on your testosterone levels as well as your overall health. Also, a lack of physical work or exercise can be a cause.

I personally supplement with Tongkat Ali and Ashwagandha (cycling them, never using both at the same time), and I am more than happy with my levels. I also eat a healthy, meat-based diet, and I exercise intensively at least 5 times a week for about 2h per workout. As someone who used steroids when I was younger to get the edge in MMA competitions, I fought really hard to get my levels back to normal, so I'm really conscious of everything that I do now in that regard, knowing how bad it feels to have low testosterone levels.

 

Hey, so I tried this fasting and I lost a lot of weight from it. It's not a bad thing, I'm skinny now, like very thin but it's helped with testosterone for sure. I'm just wondering what will happen if I stop fasting, will my testosterone levels drop again?

 

Not entirely true. I knew a pro body builder who also trained with some of the top martial artists in the world. The idea that you can be too muscular is outdated. His stage weight was probably 180 (5'9) height so he wasn't in the giant category. But he was big. There's way to he both. It's all in how you train

 

This thread is hilarious.

 

Uh, a lot of doctors say masturbation is healthy lol and every day is not too often.

They are right on a lot of things, but when it comes to the medical field having good roots in nutrition and lifestyle advice? I've found its generally a bit of a blind spot for them.. but what do I know. Decide for yourself.

 

Then why are you rebooting on hard mode, if the doctors of the world think that, according to you, masterbation and dopamine are healthy?

 

@LOSEmyselftoSAVEmyself I dont know what hard mode is, and I make my own decisions instead of subscribing solely to a person with a degree. Heck. I have a degree!! A good one. Maybe some day you will understand why I have the goals and resolve I do. Best wishes man.

 

Because he doesn't agree with what the doctors say on this. He is mocking them, not agreeing with them.

Also, dopamine is necessary for survival, without it you'd literally just lay down and die. It's the abuse of it that is unhealthy.

 

@LOSEmyselftoSAVEmyself hey man... I looked into it and guess you're saying no pm or o is "hard mode". That has always been my goal from the beginning.. I appreciate your feedback, but although it is not easy, I refuse to call it hard because that indicates that I am likely to fail. I know I can achieve difficult things.

Wish all you guys the best.
