fats for testosterone

[anthrax]

What is the best fat proportions for maximum testosterone production (all other things -training, rest,.... - equal) ?

mostly omega 3s

50% omega 3S + 50% monounsaturated fatty acids

some saturated fat ?

 

[STEP OFF]

i usually go for a 3:1 ratio of omega3:mono

saturated fats are a no-no

You need about 10%saturated fat in your diet to keep you testosterone levels steady, and I would suggest doing about 10%saturated/50%omegas/40%monosaturated (poly)

Is 10% saturated fats a hard-set number, Mr. X? I would imagine that a young man with good cholesterol profile who works out hard and has his diet in check can benefit from slightly higher levels of sat. fat.

Due to the nature of being online, I don't usually recommend eating a lot of saturated fat w/o consulting the person first, for you'd be surprised how people misrepresent themselves online -which can be deadly in the long run.

10% has show to be a good number to shoot for; notice I say at least 10%, anything over that is just an addition and is up to the person to decide the health aspect of the issue.

i remeber seeing something about a trial where monounsaturate fat causing an increase in test levels (all the subjects had good saturated intakes as well)...its in a special lifestyle mens health somewhere in my room........

Actually it is what I thought

Polyunstaurated fatt acids are way healthier (for our arteries, joins, mental health and so on)
but - though I may be wrong :

saturated & monounsat => cholesterol => testosterone

You thought correct...

What about on keto?

When in ketosis, it seems that the overload of fats only increases testosterone in the start of the diet; after a while it actually levels out to do no additional positives. So, in ketosis, there are no real % of what fats, but I usually suggest at least 30-40% from EFAs.

I could say some things, but I don't want to start a flame fest. I'll leave it at this satuated fat + omega 3's yield the most positive environment for testosterone production and lower shbg levels. The dangers of saturated fat are HIGHLY over-rated when compaired to high GI processed carbs and hydrogenated oils.

Bump on this!

I'll just second that notion; saturated fat dangers ARE way too over hyped.

Mr.X,

what do you think of coconut oil ?

- Rich in saturated fatty acids (especially medium chain triglycerides) -

One of my favorites: most MCT oils these days use coconut oil as the base; thus, me being a proponent of MCT use, coconut oil would be a way to go in many diets (bulking and cutting).

Why not eating the Coconut Sun Tan Cream ?
some "people" are injecting some oil (synthol) aren't they ?

Actually I was meaning cream of coconut
something like that

I guess some "people" don't care about where they are going in life. But, overall, I think synthol is a long ways away from being anything mainstream in bodybuilding and anyone that uses it just does not know some facts and dangers of the product.
