Foods that lower testosterone

**Sock Monkey** · 04-03-2002, 06:12 PM

ok what foods lower testosteron? i also heard something about how soy products have something to do with raising levels of estrogen ?

**Cusesharpe** · 04-03-2002, 06:43 PM

the soy raising estrogen was found to only happen if all you ate was soy. I think Cow uterus might raise your estrogen (wink).

cabbage

also, never carry your lunch in plastic bags as they are said to release estrogen into the food.. i'm not sure if it's been proven but it's better not to take the chance

Why the hell would you want to LOWER your testosterone levels?? It's what makes you strong man. Have you ever felt weak in the gym and your workout seems a total bitch and waste of time? well expect to feel this way if you want a low testosterone level. Just think about it.

Yeah, bump on that.

I heard if you tuck your pants into your socks and walk around school your testosterone will go up. You might want to give that a try.

I am about 99.9999999999999999999% sure he asked this so he would know what NOT to eat. I dont think he wants to lower it, unless he is retarded or somthin.

Drink your splooge after you rub one out, its chaulk full of test. Seriously just eat well and don't be paranoid about eating foods that increase test or estrogen, just eat well, take vitamins and train hard.

Here is my take.. besides chronic use of soy protein(nasty stuff for bodybuilders), no foods will result in large enough T level drops to affect our gains. BUT eating diets LOW IN FAT and high in carbs will! All those low fat diets of the 80s didn't work in part because of the decrease in T levels when dieting like that. We need fat for Testosterone! Not eating fat will result in lower levels. I realise this wasn't asked, but though I should mention.

The mention of plastic wraps in food is quite true.
Environmentally there are many compounds that simulate estrogen in our bodies, and can bind to the estrogen receptor(they do not bind well though). These compounds are referred to as xenoestrogens. The isoflavones in soy are actually xenoestrogens, as well, but more specifically they are phytoestrogens, as they come from a plant. Heating of plastics can release xenoestrogens. I'm not sure about just leaving foods in plastic wraps, but heating with the wrapping on can result in some xenoestrogens to be released onto your food. Now, this is such minutae, that you'd be retarded to pay attention to this. They will really have no effect on your physique.. but if you have a choice of heating with or without saran wrap on your food.. why not choose without?

If anyone would like further reading on xenoestrogens or soy, let me know and I will post links to articles.

I can think of one "food" that will drastically lower test....ALCHOHOL. Not to mention it carries 7 cals/gram and causes a mess load of other nasty **** on the body.

Marijuana as well lowers test and raises estrogen fairly signficantly as well but hopefully no one here considers that a food for everyday consumption

Actually, THC is a xenoestrogen, that is why you see estrogenic effects from marijuana.

i heard letting the saran wrap touch your food in the microwave can give you food poisoning from the plastic melting into your food

Licorice also lowers T and raises E.

Soy can act as an estrogen, and has actually been proven to be catabolic in at least one study I know of.(this was done in both males AND females)

You migght want to try switching to lactose free milk!

Good move, my man.

Don't leave out another group of soy lovers, though. It's not only for hippies, but also for men who watch Oprah.
