How do I Boost Testosterone With Diet?

It's possible to increase your testosterone level without steroids. Testosterone levels can be raised by eating the proper foods. Eating cruciferous vegetables, lots of red meat and choosing four or five small meals daily will help you reach your goal.

Beginning the Plan

Balance your Carbohydrates

Drinking plenty of water will help boost testosterone levels. Salmon and shellfish will improve your testosterone levels, while caffeine and fried foods may lower testosterone. Vitamins A and E are recommended to improve testosterone. Eat enough calories to increase your strength, about 20 calories per pound of body weight.

Carbohydrate to Protein Ratio

2:1 Ratio of Carboydrates to Protein

Try a 2:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein to improve your testosterone levels. One gram of protein per pound of body weight is enough to improve your testosterone. Choose monounsaturated fats found in nuts, avocados and olives, or saturated fats found in eggs and red meat. Polyunsaturated fats may lower your testosterone levels.

Protein Shakes

Try a Protein Shake

Try a protein shake with whey before and after your exercise for the day. Whey protein will improve your testosterone, give you strength, and help you recover from fatigue. Choose vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and greens which will help you lower estrogen and improve your testosterone. Avoid alcoholic drinks such as beer and wine, which will lower testosterone.
