Tracy Gapin - The Testosterone Epidemic: How Endocrine Disruptors are Crushing Men AHS19
At a population level, male testosterone levels and reproductive health are plummeting at a precipitous rate. These changes cannot be accounted for solely by comorbid conditions such as metabolic syndrome.
There appears to be other influencing factors, one of which is likely the dramatic, damaging effect of endocrine disruptors. Toxins such as phthalates, BPA, atrazine, phytoestrogens, and birth control have polluted our food, water supply, personal care products and everyday household products. Literature has demonstrated a clear association between exposure to endocrine disruptors and hypogonadism and infertility. Extensive published studies have also shown the direct epigenetic effects of exposure, confirming a likely causative effect.
The keys to mitigating the harmful effects of endocrine disruptors include limiting exposure and upregulating detox pathways through personalized epigenetic lifestyle intervention.

Just shop the outside aisles of the store
meat, veggies and fruits
if you need grains stick to whole wheat/grain its pretty simple
then dig into the macro break downs you want after you establish good eating habits.

Sure, but this is talking about what food on the outside is packaged in, water, pesticides, perfumes, etc. too.

I can neither completely discredit or prove the idea that toxins are slipping their way into our lives and causing the reproductive health issues that you're talking about. In fact, I'd say that there is a strong plausibility to that line of thought. However, I think exercise, or lack thereof, slso strongly contributes to lowered sex hormones. Less and less people in this country engage in any sort of exercise, let alone intense exercise. Coupled with a bad diet, it's not far-fetched to say that those things are lowering our cholesterol at a population level. Most likely it's a combination of being sedentary, a poor diet, and other variables such as pesticides/toxins.

I’m currently 6’2” 255, but I hide my weight pretty well. Probably around 25% BF
At that height, you are more than 25%.
At 6'4", 230, I was at about 28%

Entirely depends on his muscle mass.
I'm 6'2 ~250-255 and sit around 28% and I'm not very muscular. I do have a bit higher muscle mass than average. Though that bf% is on my bathroom scale and could very well be inaccurate. I got an InBody scan done last year though and it was really close.

It's probably the hardest thing to determine ever.

You dont need to try any of those fad diets.
Yes, removing shite food is a fad diet. It has only been around for 10's of thousands of years.
Yet, we've only been trying to "count calories" for the past 60 years.

google tdee calculator.
Find one that asks you about your activity level, height, weight, gender, etc.
Some have a formula that requests body fat percentage but those aren’t usually accurate.
Once you’ve entered all of the information then it will tell you an estimate of how many calories it takes to maintain your current weight.
You’ll then want to decrease your total calories by 500 per day to lose 1 lb per week.
Every week that your weight changes enter your new weight into the calculator and be sure that you’re still 500 calories below whatever your new tdee is to be sure you’ll still lose 1 lb per week.
First week you’ll probably lose 4-6 lbs but most of that will be water weight or glycogen. So don’t think you lost 4-6 lbs of fat.
Once you get to a weight you are happy with then you should calculate the tdee for that weight and eat that amount of calories every single day to maintain that exact weight.
As far as macros go I would try to get 1g of protein per lb of body weight. As long as you’re getting that amount of protein I wouldn’t concern myself too much with carbs or fat. As long as you’re getting some of both that will be fine. Don’t do these dumbass low carb fad diets. It’s not healthy to toss out a whole macro nutrient. Without carbs, fats, and proteins your body will not function optimally.
