Been following your instructions for almost 2 months and have lost almost 30 lbs. I'm 54 and have 30 more lbs to go to reach my BMI. Thanks for your videos.
I used to have all of the symptoms he described in the video so I went keto, went back working out heavily (5 reps max) 4 times a week, and started doing intermittent fasting EVERY DAY. Problem SOLVED! I'm 51 years old and this is a recent photo. Thank you for your videos, Dr. Berg! Cheers from Brazil :D
One of your best videos yet. Very short and simple, with a profound message. I have been seeing a chiro for my prediabetes, insulin, blood sugar, and all things adrenal. And I have been intermittent fasting. I've reversed my prediabetes and all my markers for proteins, adrenals, and everything have turned around. I have never felt better, sleep better, have more energy, and everything else. This video is profound because it shows that high insulin levels is the reason why people have so many health problems.
Great vid,,,since following your advice,,my muscles have slowly started growing and loose skin going,,I though age 50+ was going downhill which as an ex gym instructor saddened me,,the I tried embraced your advice and here I am down to a 34 waist from 40,,,and after so Many years feel human again,,Dr Berg & Karen a very big thank you,,,
In Oct 2017 i came across your keto videos. I said to myself let me give that shite a try. I was 106kg, i weighed myself this morning and im 89kg :) thanks dr Berg for changing lives. Keto + OMAD = BOMB
Glad I came across this video on testosterone. I’ve been prescribed testosterone gel for years. Have lost 35 lbs and counting in 3 months. I wondered if I should continue using. Haven’t used T in over a month. Will get my level checked. I’m learning so much from you.
Bro, do not quit cold turkey. I was on TRT for about 3 years and lost my job. So I couldn’t afford my medication and I was on 1 cc every 2 weeks injections. I started having bad anxiety and just can’t seem to feel as energetic as when on TRT. I been off my TRT for 2 years and it sucks. My numbers are 198 right now which is low just went to a doctor and paid cash. My advice is get professional help to guide you in getting off your medication.
@@bgoodorhell4u yes. I started taking B-complex and B-12, D-3, and lemon water. Started feeling stronger and just fight through it. I’m not even close to the energy I felt when on TRT, but trying to figure it out. I also been to counseling to see if it was mental and I even started going to church to see if it was spiritual. Yes, it’s tough some days..
@@df4480 but if you need it you need it it’s like a diabetic needing insulin. Why suffer? Just another hormone. Having low testosterone could lead to a lot of health problems. You know that .
I have 2 questions I haven’t found in any of your videos. I started Keto and intermittent fasting over a month ago. Unreal results! 2 things: 1. I’ve been taking a natural test booster, is that ok doing Keto and I fasting? ? 2. How does creatine and Keto/fasting go together? I hope you either respond or make a video. I got a few people subscribed to your videos! Thanks again!
There's no such thing as a natural test booster. The only things that actually work are illegal. The best thing you can do to increase testosterone naturally is eat clean, exercise, and sleep 8-9 hours every night.
Devin Mayes Well he's probably gonna say more or less the same thing. There are no magic supplements. Most of your increase in testosterone is going to come from your diet, sleep, and exercise. Do keto to lower your insulin and intermittent fasting to increase your growth hormone. Avoid estrogenic foods like soy and dairy as they're known to lower testosterone. And as long as your test booster doesn't consist of carbohydrates is not going to interfere with your ketogenic diet.
Good info doc, but it's not always that simple. I had T levels below 300 in my mid 40's and I was otherwise healthy, worked out regularly, no signs of pre-diabetes. It's true that something "caused" it to plummet, but who knows what. My diet wasn't that bad. Idk.
Dr. Eric Berg DC PLEASE do a video on the optimal way to train and eat for healthy, young individuals looking to gain muscle and get BIG naturally!!!! Is insulin needed for optimal muscle growth?
Of course insulin is needed for growth! I think the Dr. is trying to get people to understand that the majority of peoples insulin is WAY too high. Normal insulin = good, high insulin = bad
For me the combination of MCT oil, keto diet and your night adrenal pills taken in the day( cant sleep with them) and you basically are Randy all day. Thanks Dr Berg never had a problem but now it,s just better.
You might try Stinging Nettle Root. I had slightly low total testosterone, and almost 0 free testosterone (off the charts SHBG production). I am on TRT AND take stinging nettle root to help suppress the SHBG. Unfortunately it doesn't work for everyone (it has worked for me).
Eat only free range meat, eggs , dairy products , eat high amounts of cruciferous veggies , eliminate all plastics, get insulin under control , go to the gym , take natural test boosters such as pine pollen or maca root
P N when you start taking test your body gets used to getting it so it doesn't feel the need to make more. That's why when people take steroids to build muscle their testies shrink due to lack of natural testosterone production that is also why when using steroids your supposed to take estrogen blockers (because your body tries to keep hormones level) and supplements for natural test production to not shut down completely. Usually why when you go on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) You usually have to stay on it for life after that.
P N but naturally increasing your testosterone will NOT have negative effects like that because it your body doing it naturally. "Test booster" supplements just help you naturally produce more. While that make increase it like 40%ish with (optimum results) that's nothing compared to actually injecting testosterone. And as long as you arnt doing that you will be fine
Great vid dr Berg. Can you please make a video about taking vit C right before and after exercise? Like would it help calm the adrenal so I don't use muscle for fuel?
Hi Dr. Berg! What causes low T in women and can this also be reversed? Low (or no) Libido is basically the major side effect of low T in women and it’s awful. Why is the human body so complicated? So much to worry about. 🤨
I'm 40 and I had a vasectomy done. Am i screwed with the natural testosterone levels? I didn't check my levels yet, but i have gained weight and lost the urge to work out.
It‘s a question of cause and effect. I‘ve been told that belly fat and insulin are a symptom of low testosterone. You’re saying it’s the other way around; that low testosterone is caused by insulin. Right?
True however it’s almost impossible to lower your Insulin to not have any unless you have type 1 diabetes lol and you don’t need much insulin to produce plenty of testosterone
I thought high insulin levels stimulate testosterone and I read that that condition can produce hair loss in women. Isn't that correct? And also.. what happens in women when the testosterone levels are low?
This article is about men and mens low testosterone, shut the f****** about women's questions this is not the video for you women it's not about the patriarchy we're not trying to keep you down or not trying to f****** give you $0.70 on the dollar shut the f****** this is a man's video about men's testosterone you women go get your own f****** video you stupid f****** c***
Problem is that you need carbs for healthy testosterone levels too. Plus intermittent fasting has been shown to raise SHBG to unhealthy levels which will lower free testosterone even if your serum T is high.
It’s impossible to go completely no carb on keto vegetables contain carbs as well as most fats and oils my guy u don’t need lots of carbs or insulin to produce testosterone and that’s where u r wrong
My testosterone is very low I’m 21 and it’s like 250 but I want it higher even tho this is on the lowest end of normal I want it to be atleast 400 or more
Im a 20 year old male but have cellulite. I heard it's pretty rare in men, so could this be indicative of very low T levels? I also have brain fog, erection problems, and fatigue.
How should I go about stopping trt treatment safely? I'm doing great on keto and omad lost 27 pounds in a month and half, im taking stinging nettle root and orchex supplements as you recommended in other videos to help glands. Really need some more advice.
You’re always talking about the things to do if you have low testosterone.But I can’t find any “ healthy range” of testosterone in the blood. What is a good amount of testosterone?
I’m a firefighter and eat really well, do intermittent fasting and workout consistently. I’m 30 years old and have had testosterone in the low 200s for the past 3 years. I’m very healthy otherwise. It seems like a lot of firefighters are dealing with low T because we don’t get normal or consistent sleep. Is this a reason to go on test? Otherwise I’m pretty sure I’m doing everything else right. I understand I probably have adrenal fatigue but it seems like the low T is still not getting better....
Sean Johnson , I am not a doc - but I imagine being in situations regularly where you are inhaling things during a fire could affect the pituitary. Get your LH and FSH levels checked too. If they are low, the pituitary could be the problem. A good endocrinologist could so some investigative work. Sleep deprivation will whack T as well, it is pretty profound. Good luck.
You said that insulin decrease testosterone and in one video you said that insulin increase igf-1 and IGF-1 increase androgen. Plz clear this confusion. Plz Dr reply my question.
Dr. Berg, I have no doubt I have high insulin, does this means that if i take my diabetes medication (januvia 100mg a day) this makes it worst? since my medication supposed to lower my blood sugar by increasing insulin? because then i will quit my medication in a heart beat......thank you for your time and for making these videos.
This was a great video for me Dr. Berg. But my issue is a little different. I was in gymnastics for 19 yrs and or couch started someof us on anabolics. Winstrol mostly but anavar and testosterone as well. I did this so long that i believe i have off set my hormone axis. I have taken HCG and everything. And without the testosterone shots i have the test lvls of an 80yr old man. Any advice? Also..i know this may sound crazy but what is the keto diet? You mention it in ever video.
the keto diet with IF is easy to find. Dr Berg puts it at the end of every video. you may also look at dr Berg's videos on black seed oil and autophagy. and get a lawyer onto that coach - crimes against children.
Selfish behaviour causes of depression so love souls care souls obey souls fear will go away. God is in every soul. God is watching us in every heart and in universe. Do little things for others builds up happiness. Be kind be honest be grateful respect rules.
Dr. Berg why is the Keto diet considered so bad by so many reviewers? Dead last out of thirty diets in 2017. I am following it and feeling great, whats the reason behind the low acceptance? Thank you
Antonio Talarico, because it's the most effective and costs nothing. That review was probably paid for by the Grain Growers Association of America, the same people who are responsible for that blasted stupid pyramid.
My response is less conspiratorial. The food pyramid is the Holy Bible of nutritionists (LITERALLY). Anything that doesn't conform to it is bad (their words, not mine). Keto turns it upside-down (kind of), so nutritionists have a conniption about it. I don't think there is anything malicious in these studies, it's simply a lack of knowledge.
Thank you, Dr. B. My husband just had his testosterone checked, doctor said it was normal. He's healthy in his body except in his stomach area. He does keto with me. Unfortunately he still uses regular sugar in coffee and tea. Has an E.D problem. Other than getting his A1c checked, is there anything thing else to have checked. Advice or opinion from anyone.
Barbara Coyle, I used to eat an absurd amount of sweet things until I just stopped some months ago. Since then, I've found out how sweet other things are. Good luck to your bloke!
Hey Dr. Eric Berg, I have had low testosterone ever since I was 16(or at least that's when it was discovered) I have been on and off testosterone since then. I am 25 and just recently started taking it again(1ml per month). I used to get 0.7ml per month. My fear is sperm production, coz who wouldn't like to be a father. Some doctors have already told me that there is a 63% chance I won't be able to have kids. Kindly help me, I don't know what to do.
Keep Faith in God kids God’s Gift. God will show you right path. Eat healthy be active leave your worry on God’s shoulder keep Faith in heart. I saw so many people God give them baby when dr said it’s not possible.
@layalgurjit how do u know God give them babies ? . Do u have a direct link to God ?. See that's the problem with people who like to talk about God it's like they have the authority to speak for God...
How does someone - man- lower PROLACTIN that is very high 200ng should be 20ng. Doctor recommends Rx drug cabergoline but there has to be a natural approach??? Help please.
Dr berg I do watch you videos regularly and they are very very useful. Only problem I have is my acnes do not go away altho I have lost weight by controlling insulin also my periods are getting regular which were not before. My gyne suggested me to take progesterone to bring periods but this also use to trigger acnes. Now with n without taking progesterone they are still there. I'm too much upset. My face that use to be clear even in my teenage it's full of acnes all the time. Please suggest me something Thank you
Dr berg I don't want to take hormones. Is the cause of acnes a stomach or a liver issue?? My gyne says taking combination pill can immidiatly help but she I decided not take it. Please guide thank you so much
Dr Berg, the 3 studies you posted in the description only stated that insulin sensitivity or high insulin has a relationship with low testosterone. None included anything about a ketogenic diet increasing testosterone. There are many studies that suggests a ketogenic diet lowers testosterone. Are there any studies that show a ketogenic diet increase testosterone? I ask because just because insulin levels are improved by a ketogenic diet it doesn't prove testosterone levels increase. Can you provide any literature?
inf mda the studies that showed that testosterone levels dropped was when you just went low carb but no added fat in that state your body has low energy while the keto diet. Goes low carb but increases fat to have a source of energy. In the studies they pretty much had low carb and low fat, not keto
Dr. Berg, please help! Can you make a video about period loss? I have looked throught other websites and videos and didn't find anything that would apply to me. I had blood tests done, check up, etc. Doctors can't tell me why I have lost my period. We're trying for a baby for half a year now and I'm afraid it's my fault :(
Thank you, I have watched this video before but no period. I make sure I always have seeds and nuts, have brocolli every other day, eggs, butter, cheese, vit A E I usually try getting from foods. I have to have a supplemend for vit D as there's almost no sun in England xD I'm taking seaweed supplements, folic acid and primrose oil at the moment. I have watched your video about hight estrogen just now, I will try kale shake and cutting dairy, maybe that will help :)
Dr. Eric Berg DC I have 2 questions I haven’t found in any of your videos. I started Keto and intermittent fasting over a month ago. Unreal results! 2 things: 1. I’ve been taking a natural test booster, is that ok doing Keto and I fasting? 2. How does creatine and Keto/fasting go together? I’ve got a group of guys awaiting your reply. Also I got a few people subscribed to your videos! Thanks again!
Depends how you feel. Symptoms are key to deciding if you have an issue. If you're in the low range, but have no issues and feel good, you have nothing to worry about. That being said, ask yourself where you are with diet and exercise. You might be able to raise the T naturally with weightlifting and a proper diet. Excess fat on the body of men can really mess with your testosterone.
Already on keto, low bp, underweight, can't gain muscle mass, free-testosterone is low (very high SHBG)... SO... reminder: *IF you go too low carbs and stay low for long, you can totally wreck your free testosterone*. The *fix* (as per myself and the research literature): *UP the carbs* (carb back-loading and cyclical keto works for most), until *your body* produces the results. Don't get hung up on generic below 30g/d or below 50g/d or some other net carb figures, or you may destroy your hormones and health, like I did. Evolutionary speaking, if we were meant to burn ONLY fat, we'd have no glucose pathway at all, but we have it, so use it (it is required for a lot of transport of nutrients and energy on the biochemical level).
False - carbs increase insulin, right? And yes you need insulin to grow muscles, BUT high insulin causes insulin resistance, which makes insulin unavailable to you - so carb loading creates MORE problem down the road - reducing insulin, make it work normally so you can grow muscle - you only need normal insulin
There are plenty of long-term keto guys like me, who've wrecked themselves by going _too low_ on carbs. That was my point. Yes, I advocate LCHF (moderate protein) low-insulinogenic diet. However, if you go really, really low on carbs for a long period of time, you can totally wreck your sex hormones, metabolism and gut, even if the diet is not calorie restricted. I don't want to argue, I agree 99.9999% with what you say/research and I'm learning a lot. I'm just trying to point out that going too extreme on low-carb can also have it's adverse effects.... Thank you for all your hard work.
The research on testosterone and keto is very conflicting and not at all clear. Dr. Berg is pretty dogmatic with his approach imo. No healthy, normal-low bf individual who is active will develop insulin resistance from doing carbloads every now and then, especially if you lift weights and do some cardio - which most people who get into all of this do anyways.
Been following your instructions for almost 2 months and have lost almost 30 lbs. I'm 54 and have 30 more lbs to go to reach my BMI. Thanks for your videos.

Im a 20 year old male but have cellulite. I heard it's pretty rare in men, so could this be indicative of very low T levels? I also have brain fog, erection problems, and fatigue.
How should I go about stopping trt treatment safely? I'm doing great on keto and omad lost 27 pounds in a month and half, im taking stinging nettle root and orchex supplements as you recommended in other videos to help glands. Really need some more advice.
You’re always talking about the things to do if you have low testosterone.But I can’t find any “ healthy range” of testosterone in the blood. What is a good amount of testosterone?
Can you suffer from erectile dysfunction with normal testosterone levels?
Doctor low carb diet agravates my gynecomastia. Can you tell y? It's hundred million dollars question for you.
I’m a firefighter and eat really well, do intermittent fasting and workout consistently. I’m 30 years old and have had testosterone in the low 200s for the past 3 years. I’m very healthy otherwise. It seems like a lot of firefighters are dealing with low T because we don’t get normal or consistent sleep. Is this a reason to go on test? Otherwise I’m pretty sure I’m doing everything else right. I understand I probably have adrenal fatigue but it seems like the low T is still not getting better....
Sean Johnson , I am not a doc - but I imagine being in situations regularly where you are inhaling things during a fire could affect the pituitary. Get your LH and FSH levels checked too. If they are low, the pituitary could be the problem. A good endocrinologist could so some investigative work. Sleep deprivation will whack T as well, it is pretty profound. Good luck.
Is there any significance on HOW to break a fast ? If on OMAD ... Some people recommend breaking it with protein ... Insight ?
You said that insulin decrease testosterone and in one video you said that insulin increase igf-1 and IGF-1 increase androgen. Plz clear this confusion. Plz Dr reply my question.
Please talk about resistant starch
What do you think about test boosters
WHERE IS THE LINK FOR THR FREE KETO COURSE???
Dr. Berg, I have no doubt I have high insulin, does this means that if i take my diabetes medication (januvia 100mg a day) this makes it worst? since my medication supposed to lower my blood sugar by increasing insulin? because then i will quit my medication in a heart beat......thank you for your time and for making these videos.
xman1967 great thank you for the advise.
This was a great video for me Dr. Berg. But my issue is a little different. I was in gymnastics for 19 yrs and or couch started someof us on anabolics. Winstrol mostly but anavar and testosterone as well. I did this so long that i believe i have off set my hormone axis. I have taken HCG and everything. And without the testosterone shots i have the test lvls of an 80yr old man. Any advice? Also..i know this may sound crazy but what is the keto diet? You mention it in ever video.
the keto diet with IF is easy to find. Dr Berg puts it at the end of every video. you may also look at dr Berg's videos on black seed oil and autophagy. and get a lawyer onto that coach - crimes against children.
Selfish behaviour causes of depression so love souls care souls obey souls fear will go away. God is in every soul. God is watching us in every heart and in universe. Do little things for others builds up happiness. Be kind be honest be grateful respect rules.
Sir,I have low t due to azoospermia and hypothyroid .-age 37.
Any cure ?
Hey DOC, what about taking Test. for muscle growth.
Dr. Berg why is the Keto diet considered so bad by so many reviewers? Dead last out of thirty diets in 2017. I am following it and feeling great, whats the reason behind the low acceptance? Thank you
Look who is ranking them - mainstream - they link their DASH diet - ua-cam.com/video/6q-9OvUXEnk/v-deo.html
Antonio Talarico, because it's the most effective and costs nothing. That review was probably paid for by the Grain Growers Association of America, the same people who are responsible for that blasted stupid pyramid.
My response is less conspiratorial. The food pyramid is the Holy Bible of nutritionists (LITERALLY). Anything that doesn't conform to it is bad (their words, not mine). Keto turns it upside-down (kind of), so nutritionists have a conniption about it. I don't think there is anything malicious in these studies, it's simply a lack of knowledge.
I have problems in hormones
how.. for diabetic patient.. no way to boast maximum testosterone?
Thank you, Dr. B. My husband just had his testosterone checked, doctor said it was normal. He's healthy in his body except in his stomach area. He does keto with me. Unfortunately he still uses regular sugar in coffee and tea. Has an E.D problem. Other than getting his A1c checked, is there anything thing else to have checked. Advice or opinion from anyone.
Have him do a fasting insulin test
Just ditch the sugar. I didn't think I could but I did.
Dr. Eric Berg DC Thank you. Very much.
SuperDipMonster yes, I agree with you. My husband watched this video and said he was going to ditch the sugar. He's good like that.
Barbara Coyle, I used to eat an absurd amount of sweet things until I just stopped some months ago. Since then, I've found out how sweet other things are. Good luck to your bloke!
Why if i have high total T but low free T because a very high SHBG ?
Hey Dr. Eric Berg, I have had low testosterone ever since I was 16(or at least that's when it was discovered) I have been on and off testosterone since then. I am 25 and just recently started taking it again(1ml per month).
I used to get 0.7ml per month.
My fear is sperm production, coz who wouldn't like to be a father.
Some doctors have already told me that there is a 63% chance I won't be able to have kids.
Kindly help me, I don't know what to do.
Look into HCG under supervision of a MD
Keep Faith in God kids God’s Gift. God will show you right path. Eat healthy be active leave your worry on God’s shoulder keep Faith in heart. I saw so many people God give them baby when dr said it’s not possible.
You should have done PCTs instead of TRT.
@layalgurjit how do u know God give them babies ? . Do u have a direct link to God ?.
See that's the problem with people who like to talk about God it's like they have the authority to speak for God...
How does someone - man- lower PROLACTIN that is very high 200ng should be 20ng. Doctor recommends Rx drug cabergoline but there has to be a natural approach??? Help please.
My BMI is in normal right now.
Probably due to diet, sleep and/or stress.
Dr berg I do watch you videos regularly and they are very very useful. Only problem I have is my acnes do not go away altho I have lost weight by controlling insulin also my periods are getting regular which were not before. My gyne suggested me to take progesterone to bring periods but this also use to trigger acnes. Now with n without taking progesterone they are still there. I'm too much upset. My face that use to be clear even in my teenage it's full of acnes all the time. Please suggest me something
Thank you
Dr berg I don't want to take hormones. Is the cause of acnes a stomach or a liver issue?? My gyne says taking combination pill can immidiatly help but she I decided not take it. Please guide thank you so much
Hello. Dr. Berg has several videos about acne. Please see them here: ua-cam.com/users/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=acne

Dr. Berg how can I access your free Keto course if I do not use Facebook?
I don't you stinking FB either ... Stay true Brother
It's on messenger. Don't have to have fb
its on my site - under education
So will testosterone help insulin resistance then?
Absolutely
Dr Berg, the 3 studies you posted in the description only stated that insulin sensitivity or high insulin has a relationship with low testosterone. None included anything about a ketogenic diet increasing testosterone. There are many studies that suggests a ketogenic diet lowers testosterone. Are there any studies that show a ketogenic diet increase testosterone? I ask because just because insulin levels are improved by a ketogenic diet it doesn't prove testosterone levels increase. Can you provide any literature?
inf mda the studies that showed that testosterone levels dropped was when you just went low carb but no added fat in that state your body has low energy while the keto diet. Goes low carb but increases fat to have a source of energy. In the studies they pretty much had low carb and low fat, not keto
It’s so annoying have a 16 year old boy voice at 30. I’m the least respected in every social setting while being the least disrespectful
I am 17 years old boy , I am following I.F does it increase some inches to my height
Dr. Berg, please help! Can you make a video about period loss? I have looked throught other websites and videos and didn't find anything that would apply to me. I had blood tests done, check up, etc. Doctors can't tell me why I have lost my period. We're trying for a baby for half a year now and I'm afraid it's my fault :(

Thank you, I have watched this video before but no period. I make sure I always have seeds and nuts, have brocolli every other day, eggs, butter, cheese, vit A E I usually try getting from foods. I have to have a supplemend for vit D as there's almost no sun in England xD I'm taking seaweed supplements, folic acid and primrose oil at the moment. I have watched your video about hight estrogen just now, I will try kale shake and cutting dairy, maybe that will help :)
Dr. Berg, what causes eke twitching? The patient is prediabetic and around 65 years old.
you need apple cider vinegar
He answered this in one of his videos, i think he said potassium deficiency causes it.
Dr. Eric Berg DC I have 2 questions I haven’t found in any of your videos. I started Keto and intermittent fasting over a month ago. Unreal results!
2 things:
1. I’ve been taking a natural test booster, is that ok doing Keto and I fasting?
2. How does creatine and Keto/fasting go together?
I’ve got a group of guys awaiting your reply. Also I got a few people subscribed to your videos! Thanks again!
Bro what the hell insulin is like the body worst enemy.
Sidenote: Can Frequent ejaculation can cause low Testosterone?
Mine is in the normal range but on the lower end of the range. So is this bad or okay?
Depends how you feel. Symptoms are key to deciding if you have an issue. If you're in the low range, but have no issues and feel good, you have nothing to worry about. That being said, ask yourself where you are with diet and exercise. You might be able to raise the T naturally with weightlifting and a proper diet. Excess fat on the body of men can really mess with your testosterone.
How many grams of protein am I allowed per day on Keto?
Check this out ua-cam.com/video/ATAhqZ7yulo/v-deo.html
Is metformin the answer ? Its cheap and is health wise benificial ?
No, it didnt raise my low normal testosterone
Sorry, it’s right up top.
Already on keto, low bp, underweight, can't gain muscle mass, free-testosterone is low (very high SHBG)... SO... reminder: *IF you go too low carbs and stay low for long, you can totally wreck your free testosterone*. The *fix* (as per myself and the research literature): *UP the carbs* (carb back-loading and cyclical keto works for most), until *your body* produces the results. Don't get hung up on generic below 30g/d or below 50g/d or some other net carb figures, or you may destroy your hormones and health, like I did. Evolutionary speaking, if we were meant to burn ONLY fat, we'd have no glucose pathway at all, but we have it, so use it (it is required for a lot of transport of nutrients and energy on the biochemical level).
False - carbs increase insulin, right? And yes you need insulin to grow muscles, BUT high insulin causes insulin resistance, which makes insulin unavailable to you - so carb loading creates MORE problem down the road - reducing insulin, make it work normally so you can grow muscle - you only need normal insulin
There are plenty of long-term keto guys like me, who've wrecked themselves by going _too low_ on carbs. That was my point. Yes, I advocate LCHF (moderate protein) low-insulinogenic diet. However, if you go really, really low on carbs for a long period of time, you can totally wreck your sex hormones, metabolism and gut, even if the diet is not calorie restricted. I don't want to argue, I agree 99.9999% with what you say/research and I'm learning a lot. I'm just trying to point out that going too extreme on low-carb can also have it's adverse effects.... Thank you for all your hard work.
The research on testosterone and keto is very conflicting and not at all clear.
Dr. Berg is pretty dogmatic with his approach imo. No healthy, normal-low bf individual who is active will develop insulin resistance from doing carbloads every now and then, especially if you lift weights and do some cardio - which most people who get into all of this do anyways.
@@ama-tu-an-ki agree, same experience. These Keto teachers are too hard on carbs.
