Testosterone and high fiber diet

[Guest guest]

I read that fiber lowers testosterone and I have a very high fiber

diet(60-100g a day) as I am mainly a vegetarian. I am not sure if

this actually effects me because all or nearly all of my

testosterone is not produced by my body and is injected. I know that

testosterone normally requires cholestrol to be formed and that a

high fiber diet can lowers cholestrol which means if you are

consuming too little fat, meat, and cholestrol with a high fiber

diet you can decrease your productions of " T " but does this mean

anything to guys who only have external sources of testosterone.

Since we aren't synthesising the testosterone from cholestrol should

we be worried about adjusting our dose if a change in diet occurs?

Does cholestrol play any further role after the testosterone is

produced i.e. do we need to convert " T " to DHT or Estrogen?

Sorry if I am asking a silly question but I just wanted to know if I

need to include this in considering dosage adjustments. I am being

monitored by my endo in my bid to bring my hormone levels to the

best balance for me but a) my endo never mentioned this as a concern

and he is really busy so it will take forever to get an

appointment over a question this trival and my next appointment is

months away.
