I have always ate a lot of breads and am curious to see how I will feel cutting it out.

Did Keto for a while, but that is too extreme for me to be a lifestyle.

Yes, you can find debunking on everything you and I believe. Google debunking the Bible, debunking Jesus. Whatever you or I believe there is a refutation. Fox News believes meat causes low testosterone? CNN hosted Bart D. Ehrman. But since you are a saint of God, have studied the Bible thoroughly you can see the flaws in his, argument. Since I have been a vegetarian. a vegan, my choice wasn't made by listening to a debate on the subject. My choices were made through considering health issues. Veganism didn't work for me. While my wife was pregnant and then while she nursed, Veganism caused major issues. But because we had too much skin in the game, and because we were hardcore devoted. We wouldn't question what was happening to us. We were taught to call them a "healing crises" or "flushing out toxins" but my lands, how long does that last. We were doing vegetarian to vegan for years. Sister, I know all the propaganda to defend veganism, because I used those arguments. The film Game Changers is like watching Peter Joseph's film, Zeitgeist. One is propaganda for veganism, and the other against Christianity. Bean burritos can raise testosterone? But the exact opposite is true, in males legumes phytoestrogens raise estrogen levels, causing hormonal imbalances. Sister, Game Changers isn't just challenged by carnivores and those on high protein low carb ketogenic diets.

An article in Men's Health Magazine refutes the documentary, calling it as wrong.

Sister, all I am saying here is that I been there, I've done that, and it wasn't for me and mine. All the athletes who are vegans take supplements, the supplement industry does well with vegetarianism and veganism. Vegan athletes use creatine, also steroids, and testosterone. Game Changers failed to let us in on that fact. Sister if veganism works for you, then fine, I applaud every step you take. It's just not meant for everyone. The Bible doesn't have vegans, and it doesn't have strict carnivores. They ate plants seasonally. But what was mostly available all the time was animal products, wild or domestic. They're diets were low carb, animal protein diets.

No. That the body stops producing T to combat protein poisoning.

Regarding an animal diet, I am of the opinion that the more important issue is: what you ate has eaten, than it is what you eat.

Meaning, eat meat that ate an all natural diet.
Like wild Turkey or wild deer meat, or a (unsprayed)grass fed steer that hasn’t been eating “distorted grain” or been shot up w hormones and antibiotics etc, or chicken that graze outdoors naturally eating insects etc., or even wild caught fish out of stream, lakes, rivers, ocean, as apposed to pond raised fish that eat man made catfish food instead of nature’s.


I say that, but then I turn right around and put down a steak from Cracker Barrel yesterday

A new study suggests that having a diet with too much protein can cause serious health problems in men. This means that many low carbohydrate diets can have a negative effect on men's testosterone and cortisol.

Nutritionists Joseph Whittaker and Miranda Harris published their study in Nutrition and Health, an academic journal. The researchers compared the results between participants [adult men] partaking in a high carb diet and participants participating in a low-carb diet. In the low-carb diet, the missing calories were replaced with protein.

A new study defined a high-protein diet as any diet that was made up of more than 35% of protein.

For the study, a high protein diet was defined as a diet where more than 35% of the calories came from protein. A diet that was made up of less than 35% protein was considered a moderate-protein diet.

There are two types of carbohydrates: complex and simple. Many diets recommend avoiding simple carbs and allowing for healthy amounts of complex carbs.

Lead researcher Joseph Whittaker explained that there appeared to be a connection with eating too much protein and having lower levels of testosterone, the New York Post reported. High protein diets caused a condition he referred to as protein poisoning.

This condition occurs when the body breaks down too much protein, which results in high levels of ammonia, which then become toxic.

Whittaker theorized that the reason why this causes low testosterone levels is that the body stops producing the hormone while it focuses on combating the protein poisoning.

There are benefits to eating a proper amount of protein, however. These include helping the body build muscle and feeling full for longer periods of time. Also, low-carb diets have shown positive results in previous studies and can be an effective method for losing weight, providing the dieter follows a healthy diet.

Sugar is in just about everything but fat. Keeping sugar under 20grams is what I was referred to as Keto and I did it for about a year. I lost down to my target weight and then my wife had are youngest 3 children. Diets are impossible with a pregnant women and crying newborns. I was doing good to eat anything healthy at all.
