1️⃣ Lean Protein Obsession
✅ Why am I feasting on salmon eggs? There’s a time for low fat. But, run it too long and you strip out the raw material your body needs to produce testosterone.
2️⃣ High Volume, Low Calorie Foods
✅ You trained yourself to feel full, not satisfied. Low energy availability → reduced leptin signalling → your body downregulates testosterone.
3️⃣ High Fibre Overload
✅ Fibre binds key nutrients (zinc, magnesium, fat-soluble vitamins) → less absorption = less testosterone production.
4️⃣ Under-Eating Without Realising
✅ “Clean eating” fills you up early → chronic low energy availability. AMPK stays elevated, mTOR stays suppressed → low muscle signal, testosterone follows.
5️⃣ No Strategic Carbohydrates Refeeds
✅ Low glycogen = weak training → weak anabolic signal → your body has no reason to maintain high testosterone.
