@Deleted User

Oy vey he used the hard R

So why did we have a new fitness server?

nathan owned the old one but his account was shut down so it doesnt have a technical owner

so to be on the safe side a new one was proactively made

@Deleted User Ape not kill ape.

Hey anybody tried a ketognic diet?? DM if you know about it

I'm on it now. I'm not an expert but what do you want to know?

Just so you gents are aware, a focus on high testosterone foods should be considered:

Olive oil
Broccoli
Blue cheese
Garlic
Onions
White button mushrooms

Just a few ideas.

Oh, and fish, especially tuna, which is high in omega fatty acids, helps testosterone levels.

Those are all delicious foods too. Those really boost T levels?

Yup.

Google it. Or duckduckgo it.

So basically just eat like a med

Be careful with fish consumption

Mercury concentrates up the food chain

Depends on where it's sourced from

Aka no Delaware River catfish

Yup. Tuna can be high in mercury. The larger the fish, generally the higher the mercury.

Omega suppliments are also a good idea, and capsules are cheap.

Labdoor.com keeps good rankings on those

Nice.

Hot peppers also raise testosterone

Well that explains my love of garlic

And hot peppers

And onions

But I just can't back broccoli

I've done extensive research in redpilled nutrition/how to raise T levels as a backdrop to my hobby as an amateur chef.

I might do a write up tomorrow of a comprehensive list of what raises T levels, and what harms them.

I've had the best results simply lifting heavy and at most supplementing with creatine. Bust your ass in the gym fuck all these bs hacks

Hot peppers, onions and fish oil along wiht brok and other veggies are great for you. Anybody that claims there is even a transient effect on your test levels with food is selling you bullshit. And if they are not, just ask for the labs. Test is some of the cheapest, easiest, insant labs you can get.

Nutrition isn't BS. It's critical

who said nutrition is bs?

Eat healthy but I'm just talking over thinking I never said nutrition was bs

Nutrition is crucial to manage your insulin, ldl, hdl, mood, bone density etc. It will not change your test level. But you don't need to argue. Just go get tested before and after and post your results. Simple. If you don't have that, you don't know.

Results speak for themselves

It's still true that different foods have different effects on you physically, and there is great benefit to fine-tuning a diet

and obviously nutrition and fitness go hand in hand. Everyone here should be working out

I don't think there is a single person here that is arguing that pop tarts and soda is good nutrition. That is not the topic of conversation. The topic was nonsense bro science about test levels being affected by food. If you trully have an enoctrine problem, go get tested and seek treatment.

I guess I was just speaking in regards to beginners. If you're more advanced by all means get tested and fine tune your nutrition. I just personally had that issue starting out and being bogged down by an overabundance of info that's all

Certain foods do raise T levels, just as soy lowers T levels.

https://www.healthline.com/health/low-testosterone/boosting-food It isn't bro-science. It's hard science.

Here is the thing to keep in mind, and I really every man here thinks this through. Your health is the most important thing you have. Testostorone production in your body like insulin production or adrenal function or kidney function has an optimal range for your body that might or might not be the range that your body is producing such hormone. Some endoctrine systems are very responsive to outside influence, i.e. prolonged high glucose diet can bring about insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. If you have low testostorone, aka hypogonadism you are at higher risk of bone fractures, heart disease, depression. You need to get that looked at and remedied. If your test level is normal, the you can follow bro science.

Lol, hard science. How many percentage points does egg yolk raise test levels in men with primary or seconday hypogonadism? I don't see an answer in there.

There you go.

Here is another one for you. Holding guns vs babies.

Why don't you run labcorp, eat a shit ton of eggs and then run the test again?

Do you know how you solve VitD deficiency today if you ar enot a farm worker. Yes pills. Not rubbing onion juice on your temples.

@Deleted User what I read is you need zinc and vitamin d. Why not just supplement?

Don't suplement if you are not deficient. WHy would you do that?

The onion shit is a meme tbh. And yeah supplements for both these things are helpful. Although there is less bioavailability in vitamins as opposed to getting it naturally from food.

During the winter you will be. But like caco said the vitamins are less bioavailabile

You need to eat anyway. Why not focus your diet around foods heavy in vitamins and minerals beneficial to T and muscle development?

Agreed

A diet heavy in polysaturated fats and protein is ideal for this.

You've convinced me. No more depending on 12hr sleep sessions and squats for t

tfw if I don't set an alarm I regularly sleep 10-12 hours

Your body needs it. Like fuck you caco I'm recovering

Yeah pretty much, I'm pretty harsh on myself

Had about 300 cal of eggs and a cup of coffee this morning at 8

Worked + 2 hours at the gym

It's 1am and I still haven't eaten since

That's.. not Goodman

The gf is making lamb chops right now so I'm set

but yeah I do this regularly

Nice

Does anyone prescribe to a Paleo diet/lifestyle? I've been on it for over two months and it's given me considerable benefits

I've been Paleo for nearly seven years. There have been varying degrees of strictness modifications to stop myself from becoming too thin. It totally changed my gastrointestinal system. I'm very fond of the lifestyle.

@Argument of Perigee , I find it far easier and better for me than strict calorie counting. I find myself keeping good muscle mass and far more energy

Yea, calories have no meaning to me with Paleo. I'll eat 3 ribeye steaks for dinner if I want--no fat gain. I've got a very tall & slender build; even so, people see me destroying massive amounts of meat and are speechless at how I maintain my body.

Keep at it if it suits you and has great results.

I'm glad it works for you as well. Definitely re-affirmation for me that I'm doing the right thing. Thank you.

Can you guys explain the benefits paleo is giving you. For instance I've been on keto a few months and it's given me way more energy during the midday when I used to get tired. Do you guys see anything similar from paleo?

I actually follow a loose form of paleo - a poor man's paleo if you will

I've cut out 90% of carbs. My diet is meat and veggies essentially

I can confirm that even following it loosely, there are obvious and strong benefits

carbs are important for CNS recover and all sorts of other things

paleo is dumb dude stop

carbs are literally jewish satan

carbs are totally essentiall for muscle building

you need carbs as much as fat and protein

(((Carbs)))

^^^

i have a hard time bel;iving your body is recovering at an opitimal rate if your doing heavy compound movments and eating minimal carbs

the carbohydrate jew

I get all the carbs I need from vegetables tbh

i highly doubt thath

fuck grains 😤

if your doing any kind of deadlift or squat progressions im not sure how your able to keep super low carbs and increase your numbers over reasonable time intervals

particularly deadlift

I deadlifted last night, 3 reps of 12

Whey protein shakes should be fine for recovery

The biggest issue with deadlifting is Central Nervous System fatigue

protein wont help

you need carbs and fat

bruh carbs are op tf y'all on about

carbs help me out alot

You can get enough carbs from vegetables and plenty of energy from fats and oils used in cooking and inherent in food. The idea is to cut out garbage, prcoessed foods with tons of sugar and unnecessary carbohydrates.

Eat one ingredient foods. Organic, grass fed and ethically sourced is preferable, depending on budget and availability of course

Potatoes and rice are fine in moderation if you feel like you're dragging and need extra energy for endurance and performance. However, sweet potatoes are considered far more preferable over white ones (White Potatoes Matter!) for their higher nutrient value

sure you CAN get enough carbs out of just veggies but are you likely to? im skeptical. i agree with your point about processed food. organic is meh. carbs serve many more functions then simply supplying energy they are ESSENTIAL for muscle growth. nothing wrong with eating bread and pasta ect.

^^^^^

@shyguy, I suppose it's a matter of lifestyle and what diet you want for yrouself. Not trying to push Paleo, just answering some questions about it. I have a day where I carb-out for mental health. You can't eat perfect all the time, plus having intermittent processed carbohydrates such as bread and pasta can jumpstart fat burning. I think it's a good idea to eat strictly 80% of time or so.

fuck left vs right

the true war is carb vs no carb

Lol carbs are bad cuz of pop tarts.

the holy carb wars have begun

I am sure potatoes lower your test levels too. Bro science says so

Well, the multiculturalist want ot shove processed food into our mouths and filth into our eyes and ears from controlled media so we stay feeble, preoccupied and docile because of low T

>I eat like caveman! Arrr
>so mainly insects, larvae, grains and berries?
>nah bro. Ribeye and brok.

insects are delicious

fried grasshoppers are GOAT

Butter in my coffee, just like dudes 5000 years ago. It must be true because vibram shoes with toes.

the tibetan lamas drink butter tea actually

they claim it is highly beneficial

People do that to coffee?

i think it’s called bullet coffee

wait it’s bulletproof

supposed to burn fat but I think it’s bs

I put coconut milk in mine, not bad

Coconut milk so good

I find it a good alternative to dairy, especially for a coffee creamer

I’ve only had almond and I’m not the biggest fan. I only use it for shakes and cereal

does coconut milk taste too coconutty??????

No it doesn't taste coconutty some brands are more coconutty than others though

I've been blending it with cocoa powder, stevia and coffee and it's a pretty good "mocha"

I know SILK makes almond and coconut blended together. I may try that

It's pretty good

This is my favourite brand

I'm in Saudi right now and all I can find is canned crap

coconut milk is a way of life

It has the most neutral flavor

coconut>almond milk

Almond milk tastes like soggy almonds and water

^

but I tolerate it since I hate drinking dairy milk

Yeah me too lol

@Deleted User i may try your mocha recipe. I spend too much money at Starbucks

I tried all kinds of non dairy milks and coconut has been my favourite still

@Stephanie , it's not bad if you have good ingredients

same. coconut is one of the best types of fats as well

Agreed. I cook with coconut oil

Coconut oil is the best

coconut milk and baileys is lit

It's a very diverse and useful food item. You can get coconut "sugar," "flour," "milk" and "oil"

That is bretty cool

I’ve heard oat milk is more creamy?

It does have a ton of fat though

fat is good for you though

sugar is not

rice milk sounds like cancer

Rice milk isn't that good tbh

Sugar is cancer

It is thin as water

I’ve never tried coconut oil to cook with but it became pretty mainstream lately

I'm kinda curious about hemp milk though

try it and let me know haha

I’m scared

Me too tbh 😂

Degenerate 😉

tfw hemp allergy

Ouch hemp seeds are pretty health

I prefer pumpkin seeds tbh

Max zinc

Hemp milk: a beany-nutty cream-flavored substance

According to Wikipedia

y u m

I’m 2 str8 edge 4 hemp milk tbh

Hmm I'm not so sure about bean milk, soy milk is freakin gross

I don't want to be judged at the supermarket checkout

Lmao

Cause it's a hippy food

Someone soypill me

>not wearing a rasta hat and buying 4 containers of hemp milk at checkout

I won't buy soy milk. It'll turn you into a Soy Boy

I used to drink it in my Starbucks coffee sometimes

soy is a xenoestrogen

but can I be a soy girl

interestingly enough girls are fine to drink it

I eat soy pretty often

But it's ok for girls though

yeah I’m a vegetarian so I eat a lot of soy based fake meats and stuff lol

Cool vegetarian

I was vegetarian for 4 years

but I couldn't get enough protein for weight lifting from it

just snort protein powder

Apparently Nazi Germany pushed vegetarianism

whey gets tiring pretty fast tbh

Did you try veg protein powder

and yeah hitler was a vegetarian

I’ve been one since I was 15. So about 5 years now

Vegan = Fashy

it unironically is, which is hilarious

Been dabbling with veganism

the nsdap pushed animal welfare and environmental conservation harder than any other government in history

For health n environmental reasons

i will probably be vegan at some point eventually

save da cows

I plan to become vegetarian again tbh

Wew it's easier now

when i've obtained the natty physique I want

yeah I think it’s healthier to cut out fatty meats for most people

I could never go vegan tho

Yeh the health benifet are pretty big

I don't think I can do it

muh eggs and dairy

Dairy is the hardest thing to cut out

I’ve been lacking a good diet ever since this semester started. 99% carbs

lol, muh proteinz

I only like egg whites, cheese, and ice cream

Vegan ice cream;)

I love egg yolks

they're so good for you

ice cream isn't my thing tbh

Same I prefer sorbet

same

I could eat ice cream every day and for every meal

what are some goood vegan brands

mango sorbet 👌🏻

The so delicious?

Omg the best

For vegan ice cream

Honestly I've liked every brand I've tried

coconut based ice cream is good

But the best one was the rice vanilla ice cream I got from whole foods

have you tried the ben and jerry’s?

I don't support Ben and jerry's

ben and jerry's is owned by far leftists

I KNOW

openly BLM

but ITS SO GOOD

fug

and I drink so much Starbucks

I am a slave

yeah I don't touch starbucks or ben and jerry's lol

Ouch why aren't you buying fashy coffee
