Your Biggest 'peat Diet' Mistake?

[tca300]

That's terrific, but did you make a typo when you said you'd "never had full or enhanced libido"? Did you mean to say you've never had that before depletes PUFA? Wait okay I get you now. Or not having enhanced libido is good? Personally I like having a strong libido and a desire to socialize and flirt etc, it's the most excitement/fun I get out of life. Sometimes estrogenic things actually increase my libido, such as drinking or fasting, though that could be a cortisol issue as well...

Keeping dietaey fat below 1.5g seems mighty tedious, that means no cheese, no meat, only skim milk/yogurt, a lot of juice and bland gelatin powder. I don't see a lot of enjoyment in that diet, and suspect most individuals would give it up before long, even after experiencing the benefits of depleted pufa...

I meant when cutting to single digit body fat levels libido has always dropped off comparied to haveing a higher body fat percentage, and most experience that as well, but with what Im doing currently my libido is great, if not better than before I started my weight cut.

Just to clarify my PUFA intake is <1.5 ( most days under 1 gram ) not total fat. Total fat is usually 9-22 grams per day, which is still pretty low.

I would image most wouldn't care for the diet I consume, which is totaly understandable, but I like it, a lot.

Interesting @tca300. Appreciate your response. Total congrats on your efforts. Taking in your thoughts and reflecting. I have already tweaked my fat intake levels down to what I consider “moderate” fat from saturated mostly minus the mixed fat content of eggs and butter for cooking and an ounce of cheddar maybe 3 it 4 times a week. Feeling great actually. And also feeling a pull to perhaps tweak again so gathering some info.

Skim milk, orange juice, honey, gelatin, and mct oil every day, then on days I eat liver, I lower my oj intake to keep pufa low.
Simple, and most seem to hate it haha.

@tca300
Do you eat MCT oil in other foods or just take it straight? Thx

Caffeine pills instead of coffee seriously screwed me up for a while

I wish you the best but I think what you are doing is crazy and it will eventually catch up to you.

The biggest diet mistake is to not believe in diet and have to use so many supps, just look at the titles of most threads!
Taking progest-e did not solve anything and i am glad i did not try thyroid, as i have symptoms but not low labs.
Some people really need thyroid, shown by labs, but others do not.

I'm glad you mention this Xisca. Hard to find non-supplemental recommendations these days...

I take it straight, but during meals once or twice per day.

Just to clarify, 9-22G fat from how many calories?

I think that 15G per 1000 calories was what is estimated to keep T at optimal levels.

Between 2800 and 4500kcals, fat stays the same.
I think when n-6 and n-3 PUFA stores are basically gone, serotonin and aromatase drop very low and testosterone gets very high, along with the body getting use to turning sugars into fats, but those thoughts are just based on what Im experiencing.

Ho, they can be fine, but short term and well targeted!
The problem then, is to know when to stop something that was good for you....
