Why does keto diet sky rocket my erections and libido but regular diet makes everything limp…
My BG is good wake up around 90/5.0 on fasting glucose and postprandial spike never gets above 7 ish but even still
a few weeks of this diet (healthy just more 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 and 𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐬 probably 𝟐𝟓𝟎𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐬 a day)
𝐈’𝐦 𝟓 𝐟𝐭 𝟖 𝟏𝟕% 𝐁𝐅 @ 𝟏𝟓𝟎𝐥𝐛𝐬. A few weeks of this and all goes out the window. 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐨 and erections 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 so I end up taking CIALIS to have sex once a week!! that seems what I can barely muster even porn looks gross in this stage and attraction to my girlfriend drops and all erections fall 💀
Within 1 week of keto style diet (maybe 100g-150 carbs a day from root veg, sweet pot, some fruit) and high FAT e.g eggs, lamb etc
My erections and morning wood is back like crazy even more than when I was on higher carb and CIALIS and libido is high
What could be the cause? - im 30 - train 6-7 days a week! - decent sleep - nutrition is good 90-95% whole foods - blood sugar readings seem fine!
Only thing I can consider 🤔 is post Covid I have seemed less tolerant to carbs in terms of light headed, fatigue, more likely to have lower energy and gym performance etc
