The consensus in bodybuilding is to eat your daily requirement of proteins, enough fats (fats are NECESSARY for hormones. Also, no cholesterol == no testosterone), and everything else is up to you.
While I would tend to agree with you, apparently there's many people that thrive on starchy food (potatoes, rice). There's some unknown mechanism at work here, most probably it's the gut flora diversity.
- noondip 11y ago> no cholesterol == no testosterone Complete nonsense. Cholesterol = animal products, which contain estrogen, which lower testosterone. You don't need cholesterol in a healthy diet, in fact it's completely antithetical to healthy eating.

- noondip 11y agoThat's talking about the cholesterol made in your liver - the only cholesterol you need.
