testosterone boosting dietA Sample of Testosterone Boosting Diet

Diet plays a huge role in testosterone production. Our organs and glands need specific minerals like zinc and magnesium for the initiation of testosterone production. The Leydig cells require cholesterol to fuel the production of testosterone. Adding testosterone boosting foods like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage will also assist in one’s testosterone levels as well as Testosterone : Estrogen ratio by flushing estrogens from the body that lower our testosterone levels.

Increasing fat and cholesterol in-take also helps boost testosterone production. That’s the origin of the Rocky training on raw eggs myth. Loading up on bacon, eggs, nuts and steak certainly has its detractors as does increasing cholesterol consumption but this is all about testosterone boosting diet.

Here’s an example of one man’s journey to boost his testosterone through his own “testosterone boosting diet” that saw a dramatic increase by testosterone optimizing his diet, exercise and sleep (this is not what we are recommending but an example):

Testosterone Boosting Diet Sample Meal Plan

Breakfast:testosterone-boosting-diet-1

Bacon and Eggs . . and more bacon . . and more eggs

Weekdays: Three slices of bacon and three whole eggs. This provided the fats and cholesterol the body needs to make testosterone. Beware nitrates if you eat this much bacon and consider nitrate-free bacon.

Weekends: Mexican Breakfast burritos or pancakes.

Lunch:

The Man Salad

A properly prepared Man Salad packs as many Testosterone boosting foods as he could find:

testosterone boosting dietSpinach/Spring Salad Mix

The salad base using organic greens. Spinach and other leafy green vegetables contain minerals like magnesium and zinc, which have been shown to aid in testosterone production

 

testosterone-boosting-diet-3Meat

Beef provides our bodies with the protein needed to create muscle and the fats and cholesterol to make testosterone. His philosophy was the fattier, the better.

 

testosterone boosting dietNuts

A handful of almonds, Brazil nuts or walnuts. Nuts are fat bombs providing cholesterol for the Leydig cells need for T production.

 

testosterone-boosting-diet-5Avocado/Olives

Avocados and olives provide the good fats needed for healthy testosterone production.

 

 

testosterone boosting dietBroccoli

Broccoli contains high levels of indoles. This compound reduces bad estrogen that hurt testosterone levels.

 

 

testosterone boosting dietOlive Oil

Olive oil helps Leydig cells (which produce testosterone) absorb cholesterol better which assists in testosterone production. More cholesterol absorption = more testosterone.

 

 

testosterone boosting dietBalsamic Vinegar

Mostly for taste and to help keep your insulin in check.

 

 

Testosterone Boosting Diet: Snacks

testosterone-boosting-diet-9

During the day he snacked on testosterone-healthy foods like nuts, pumpkin seeds, and broccoli and occasionally dark chocolate.

An added testosterone benefit to a high fat diet with balanced protein and carbs is can help shed some body fat (this man went from 18% to 12% body fat). Studies show that high fat diets actually contribute to increased body fat loss. And as we discussed earlier, as you lose body fat, your T production ramps up. Remember that this is not a long term solution but one man’s 90 day example.

 

testosterone-boosting-diet-10Dinner

Whatever (in moderation)

He ate what the family was having: chili, chicken and rice, enchiladas, etc. He was not overly worried about carbs but watched his portions.

 

Results

This man doubled his Total Testosterone levels over 120 days but was doing so many healthy things in addition to the testosterone boosting diet. The diet was not unconventional with the exception of the fat and cholesterol intake. He didn’t follow a strict low-carb or Paleo diet. Research is showing that high protein, low carb diets can decrease testosterone levels.

Cholesterol Levels from this approach

His full lipid screening showed the following 90 days on the testosterone boosting diet:

Total Cholesterol: 202 mg/dL (Optimal range: < 200 mg/dL.)

HDL Cholesterol (“Good” Cholesterol): 77 mg/dL (Optimal range: > 60 mg/dL)

LDL Cholesterol (“Bad” Cholesterol): 112 mg/dL (Optimal range: 100-129 mg/dL.)

Triglycerides: 65 mg/dL (< 150 mg/dL is considered normal; < 100 mg/dL is optimal)

By the raw numbers, his overall lipid screening was good despite the high total cholesterol. His results were more interesting when examining the ratios doctors look at for heart disease risk.

Total cholesterol/HDL Ratio: 2.6:1 (Normal < 5:1; Optimal < 3.5:1)

LDL/HDL Ratio: .68:1 (Normal > .3:1; Optimal .4:1.)

Triglycerides/HDL Ratio:

.84:1 (Optimal < 2:1)

Despite gorging on bacon, eggs, whole milk, and steak for four months, he still had healthy cholesterol levels.

What should I expect when starting a testosterone program? What is the time for testosterone to work and show effects? There is no precise answer. Every patient is different, their metabolism are different, their Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone levels are different, their baselines are different, their symptoms are different and their variables and influences are different. Testosterone replacement therapy is not a magic pill that changes your life overnight so make sure to temper and calibrate your expectations through education to avoid disappointment.   Researchers have assessed TRT studies to understand how long it takes for the testosterone therapy to reach different symptoms of Low T.
