Does Fat Lower Testosterone Facts in Questions

Do high/low testosterone levels have any role in fat loss? Or fat gain even? Does it change your metabolism?

Cindi W replied: "Low Testosterone levels in both men and women contribute to decreased muscle mass. This can ultimately lead to increased fat. I'm a female and was found to have a really low testosterone level. Yes, women have testosterone as well as men. I was given testosterone pellet injection and it did indeed speed up my metabolism."

swampdonkeyz replied: "The higher the testoosterone level generally the lower the fat"

Does being overweight as a child lower testosterone levels? As a child I was always overweight. When I was 15, which was March of last year, I topped at 255. After that I final lost weight and am now down to 180. I'm 5'11, so that should be around a normal weight although I still have a lot of fat on my body, but I probably know why, but that's not part of this question. Anyway, from being overweight as a child, would my testosterone levels had been lower than if I was of normal weight? And yes, you guessed it, this is a question about my penis size. In a little way I feel being overweight as a child is what made my penis the size it is (6 inches long and 4.5 (although I'm skeptical about this part) around when erect). I know us guys keep growing until we're 21, and so I'm hoping, since I plan further my weight loss (pretty much until I have a nicely toned body) that my testosterone levels will pick up and my penis will grow more within these last few years. Although, I only want it to grow in girth about another inch or so. But yes, this is pretty much the same question tons of people ask, but at least I have a real question in it. And if you want, completely ignore the penis part and just answer my actual question of does being overweight as a child lower testosterone levels? Thanks, and have a good day. Well, I didn't expect to find any intelligent people on this section of the board.

What kinds of testosterone gels make you not gain fat. They just make you get more ripped and faster.? I have pretty low testosterone. I'm turning 15 in 3 months, I have no hair. But my downstairs is average. What does this mean. I think I have delayed puberty. I am fast, I just to be faster. I have abs, I see four. I'm 5'6" and 120 pounds. I am a sophomore, I am a year younger than everyone. I compete athletically with seniors and juniors. I just want bigger abs, get stronger, and especially get faster while keeping a low body fat but not while taking diet pills. I just want testosterone gel. Please give me a thorough answer. Thanks. How long does it take before it makes me get faster and stronger. I don't want fat.

MSS replied: "You are 15... Could you please wait at least when you are 20 years old to take these? You are still growing up and I am 100% sure that no doctor will agree to put you on HGH medications at this stage. You said it in your own words that you may be late in puberty. So... it it naturally get to you FIRST before you add any medications. If you take HGH while you are growing up, this can cause a lot of long term problems years to come. Please trust me on this... Let the natural hormones flow in your body for few more years. After that you can take HGH."

bk replied: "no form of testosterone will make you gain fat you will just gain strength and muscle mass and if you do not eat alot you will get ripped and gain strength but after you take it you have to take a anti estrogen so the testosterone you have taken does not convert into estrogen do a 30day day cycle of the testosterone take about ten times the dosage a doctor would give you use it 3 daily when you are done with the 30 days take a anti estrogen for 2-3 weeks then take a week off"

Does testosterone really improve libido? Am a women with high estrogen and low testosterone and planning to take testosterone suppliments! Am tired of being too feminine and having too much fat up my a$$ and low libido

jkf728 replied: "Don't mess with testosterone. Nothing good will come of it, and you can f' up your system easily."

wolfman461 replied: "Yes Test increases Libido"

newbiegranny replied: "Yes, it improves libido..... I have PCOS and it causes high testosterone and low estrogen..... just the opposite of your problem. I was horny beyond belief, to the point of not being able to focus on responsibilities, etc. It was just way too distracting and all the time! So you can go to far the other way. It also causes facial hair like a man.... mustache, etc. and weight gain. I now take a medication to balance my sugar, hormones, and cholesterol.... they are all interconnected. So you should be under a doctor's care if you take those supplements to make sure you don't overdo it and cause other problems. Best Wishes, Sue"

AquaSharp replied: "you should go to your dr. and have him inject it into you...it will take less of it to do the same thing as the pills would do... - T also makes your clit bigger. im not sure at what dosage tho"

If you spay a female dog, does its behavior change? I am aware that neutering a male dog causes its testosterone to lower resulting in a fat lazy un-fun dog, does spaying a female dog cause any behavior changes? Or does it still act the same after being spayed? I am asking this as I have 2 male dogs and I'm adopting a female, I don't want them to have pups and I don't want to cruely neuter my male dogs.

Mea replied: "I had a female dog that I got spayed and she was just as playful as the day I got her. So I would say no but I think it depends on the breed."

AzP420 replied: "just had my pug spayed and she seems to be acting the same. we had here spayed about 2 or 3 weeks ago and there is no change so far. I would probably go ask the vet though to make sure."

Left-Handed Lady replied: "It would be cruel to bring your female dog into a household of unneutered males. Unless you are fully intending to use both males as stud dogs, please PLEASE neuter your males. I've had every male dog I've owned neutered. They do not become fat and lazy. They just no longer hump everything in sight. They are still energetic and fun-loving. Spay the female if you get one as well. If one of your dogs got loose, something might happen. There are enough unwanted puppies in the world as it is."

slanteyedkat replied: "Female also need to be spayed for medical reasons they can develop most types of illness that human woman go through and get. It really won't effect her disposition too much. But if you are adopting one throguh the pound or animal shelter she will be fixed requardless. It is there policy to do that anyway. If she is spayed you have to watch the males if they aren't they will try and impregnate her and they could begin to fight over her. The dominant one will prevail."

Nancy E replied: "They will not get fat and lazy. They'll become more affectionate."

ragapple replied: "you probably won't see any change, she just won't come into heat. Actually if there i any slight change spayed females retain their playfulness just a hair longer - the hormone shifts of the heat cycle convince many female that they should get serious cause they may have a family to raise."

tmb867 replied: "My male dog who has been fixed is the same. Not fat or lazy by far. but I know what you mean. We got out female fixed at 7 months and I don't notice a difference. But who is to say how it will effect each dog. It is not cruel to fix your dogs IT'S THE RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO!!!!!"

trusport replied: "There are no known behavioral changes evident from spaying or neutering. Physically, they tend to gain weight. Oh, it's not cruel to spay a female, but it is a male? Get real, neutering is a much less expensive procedure and most males are back to normal within 24 hours. Spaying is invasive surgery with much more complications, compare it to a hysterectomy! Besides, what's stopping your male from impregnating another dog? Two neuters would be cheaper than one spay."

confusedbuthappy replied: "Will may animal’s behavior change after being altered? Your animal’s behavior will not change except that male dogs and cats will be less likely to fight, roam and spayed females will no longer go into heat. Will my animal become fat and lazy after being altered? Your animal will not get fat and lazy after being spayed or neutered unless you feed him/her too much. To keep your pet healthy they should get regular exercise: walking for dogs, toys and scratching posts for cats. Will my cat or dog feel pain during surgery? Your cat or dog will be under anesthesia during surgery, and will feel no pain. You should keep the animal quiet after surgery while she or he heals. Dogs and cats should be kept indoors; dogs walked on a leash."

LoveInstantStar replied: "Neutering male dogs does not make them lazy.It just stops them from wanting to roam around and have puppies.Dogs act the same after you spay or neuter them.Please get them fixed so it will be better for everyone."

honeychild4u2 replied: "Actually neutering your dogs is not a cruel thing to do, it can actually prevent a host of health problems down the road. We have a border collie that is fixed, it did not make him lazy or unfun, he is the same crazy loving BC. We also have a female bc/chow mix, she is also fixed, still the same dog, but just a few extra pounds, they are both getting into their senior years. So if you dont want pups, best bet is get all your dogs fixed, plus populating the world with unwanted pups is not good, too many homeless dogs/puppies in this world to begin with."

now_and.4eva replied: "Omg you describe almost everything I have also. I however am 16 and have wide hips. I have 'jiggly' chest and my thighs do touch each other. I know I'm a very unhealthy and inactive person but my new years resolution is to loose weight. Already lost a lot of weight, about 3 pounds in 5 days? I'm very impressed (and that's no exercise), I'm about 200 lbs at maximum (estimate). I've done very little exercise but the diet helps tremendous. My weight hasn't reduced in 2 days (1lb a day from 1st-3rd January) primarily because I have been a bit against my resolution and had some chips yesterday lol. But after this weeks exams which I am currently doing, I will be back on my diet and pumping those lifts and running, not large amounts, but frequently (that's the key)! By the end of the year I will hope to drop from my current 38 inch waist to maybe 34-36 but I will be muscly. :) The guide I'm using to get this is on this site; It *IS* a guide to getting a six pack, but I'm just starting with a bigger stomach than most aiming for a six pack would lol. Results may vary for you, depends on whether you have access to the right foods etc. I will be running 30 minutes everyday from next week onwards, my mate did running every 2 days for 2 months and lost 2 stone (and he was 180 pounds)! So let's hope both you and I can do the same. Good luck!"

urbanizedmule replied: "Hey man, i hear exactly what your saying. I'm in the same boat with you...

body fat and testosterone? Im 23 years old and i have probably about 20lbs of body fat that i need to shed. I notice in the last few years i have had a somewhat low sex drive and my erections are not as good as they once were. Will losing weight, mostly body fat, and putting more muscle on help my testosterone production? I have heard that excessive body fat puts out alot of an enzyme called aromatase that turns testosterone into estrogen. Is this true? Thanks

Cat Stevens replied: "No way buddy, whoever told that is wrong."

Clinton R replied: "When I lost weight through exercise ten years ago, I noticed a substantial increase in my sex drive. I am not sure whether to attribute it to aromatase or to just improved blood flow and overall better health. However, between 21 and 25, you'll notice if you're observant a decline in your drive, at least as compared to that of a teenager. If it's substantial and impairs performance, go see a doctor, because you're too young for that."

kestrelk8 replied: "this is true (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatase). the more muscle tissue you have the more two things happen: 1) the more testosterone your body makes 2) the more calories you burn even when you are at rest. this should help your sex drive as well! but it definitely sounds like a case where your extra fat is starting to affect other aspects of your health. this is the very reason why viagra is so popular since most of the adult population is over weight these days. i recommend that you start doing moderate to high intensity cardio 3-4 days (at least 30min) a week as well as weight training 2-3times (1hr will give you enough time to get all the major parts of your body well) a week on alternate days. its important to give muscles 48 hours of rest in between lifting sessions so they have time to repair which is how they build themselves up to be stronger and more defined. also, watch what you eat and remember everything in moderation! exercise will speed up the process but it ultimately comes down to your nutritional habits. try eating 6 small meals a day rather than 3 squares. this will keep your blood sugar level stable and thus prevent your body from going into fat storage mode as it does if you wait more than 3 hours between meals. you don't really have to count calories, just pay attention to the ingredients in everything you eat and stay away from eating out. its a good idea to pack a small cooler full of homemade food for work or school for the day as well. "the abs diet" by david zinczenko is a great book that shows you how and what to eat while teaching you about proper exercises as well. best wishes! :)"

Low on testosterone, how do I improve it? Have got all symptoms of low testosterone. It's hurting my self esteem. I don't exercise and I drink lot of beer. I have gained about 10 kg or 21 pounds in 1 year. My chest and tummy are filling out with fat. Help!!

Is it possible to gain muscle mass and lose fat at the same time? I am trying to lose 80 pounds in 6 months and gain 20 pouds of muscle within this time period. At 280 pounds I am on a 2500 calorie diet and I am taking herbs to increase my testosterone levels. The reason I am doing is that I was told testosterone increases muscle mass and burns fat. However because I am on a low-calorie diet I would like to know if I would experience this effect of gaining muscle mass or no and why?

Patricia S replied: "You will gain muscle mass while you are on the diet only if you also exercise."

Marissa replied: "Yes. If you weight train, or run or any type of exercising you will gain muscle mass and lose body fat, not guaranteeing all body fat but you will lose it"
