@JoseAntonioPhD Have you discussed anywhere about high protein diets like 35% of calories or 3.4g/kg and decreasing testosterone? Would love to hear your thoughts on this. https://t.co/GooHxVwmuF

@ChrisMasterjohn Do you think this is why diets that were greater than 35% or 3.4g/kg of protein resulted in lower protein? Like this study? https://t.co/GooHxVwmuF

Research reveals the balance between high-protein diets and testosterone. A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology suggests high protein might slightly lower testosterone. #ProteinBalance #VitalVanguard

Yüksek proten ketimi testosteron seviyelerinde düşüşe neden oluyor Bu araştırma "Yüksek protein, düşük karbonhidrat" diyetini baz alıyor ancak yüksek proteinin iki katı karbonhidrat tüketmek AAS'cılar haricinde mümkün değil.

@nutrition_facts For clarity of ur comment re low T caused by high protein low carb diet, the study cites >3.4g/kg of protein, less than 3.4g/kg protein does not cause low T. It means a 170lb man must consume >262g/day protein, which is very unusual. See the study: https://t.co/D9SEWEjRKb

@MattyParks12 @MrmvU6xTl5un @nutrition_facts Hot garbage because it doesn't confirm your bias? Its a meta analysis, so you dont trust the science? It has been confirmed very recently https://t.co/TFsgmz73dB and what they say is low carb is ok, but very low carb = lower testo.
