Horny as hell every time I start a low carb cycle. I also eat a paleo diet (no dairy) so it's definitely not the cheese! I think it has something to do with an imbalance in the hormones.

The most popular present day author who writes about such things is Mario Di Pasquale, and he calls it "the anabolic diet." The idea is, you can eat carbs in the day (or not), but don't eat any at night, and eat plenty of fat. The cholesterol in cheese is a natural precursor to sex hormones. Minerals help too. Also, you will experience a much greater spike in growth hormone at night if you have low levels of glucose in your body. If you want to take up lifting weights (another great thing to do to preserve yourself into old age), you already understand in part how to eat for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-44907699280018497302009-03-18T03:43:00.000-04:002009-03-18T03:43:00.000-04:00If the French sample looked anything like the Fren...If the French sample looked anything like the French soccer team, that would explain a lot about their measurements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-19057648383264959872009-03-17T22:45:00.000-04:002009-03-17T22:45:00.000-04:00It might be the tyramine.

You can get a hypertensive crisis from high doses. There's evidence that it does what it does through direct receptor binding. <BR/><BR/>It's in other stuff as well, but I think cheese has infamously high levels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-23899207075439570082009-03-17T15:36:00.000-04:002009-03-17T15:36:00.000-04:00LOL----If you can tell men institutionally that ea...LOL----If you can tell men institutionally that eating a high fat, high protien diet will lead to their having more and better hard-ons, and their sons growing larger genitalia, that battle will be won, I assure you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-92093732144328370482009-03-17T11:34:00.000-04:002009-03-17T11:34:00.000-04:00Just because a supplement lists a nutrient doesn't...Just because a supplement lists a nutrient doesn't necessarily mean it's bioavailable. I'm not convinced myself yet, but I've seen it argued that most supplements pass through with little to no effect. For example, most Vitamin A supplements use plant source beta carotene, which our bodies are poor at converting into Vitamin A. Vitamin K tends to be plant source K1, not the MK-4 version of K2 that animals use, and once again we don't convert K1 into K2 very well. <BR/><BR/>This is another reason why it's better to eat meat; plants and animals have different bio chemistry, so we often can't make very good use of many plants, while meat sources don't require the body to perform as much conversion and processing because most of the nutrients are already in the form we use. <BR/><BR/>Don't know if this applies to zinc, but it seems plausible that it is causing the effect and the supplement's zinc isn't in a form that's absorbed. Oysters are a food legendary for their vigorous effect, and the reason is likely their the most concentrated food source of zinc. <BR/><BR/>You could probably run a self experiment comparing w/ and without zinc to see if it's a factor and if your supplement source is being absorbed. Just stay under 100mg a day or you'll be in overdose territory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
