Original Message So I've been a vegetarian for about 2.5 years but about a month and a half ago I decided to become vegan. And now I'm noticing some more manliness attributes on the rise.. strength coming back WITH more endurance. more energy. more lean(probably due to losing stubborn fat areas)

I've read some stuff before on the topic and explanation being when on a vegan diet the body receives no outside hormones and thus produces more of it's own. Not sure the validity of that but it does make sense from design/evolutionary standpoint - since human biology appears more meat eating.

But now I've stumbled upon this article with interesting info. May shed some light on why Vegans end up with more natural testosterone than both meat eaters and vegetarians.

This study shows almost identical levels of 'free' testosterone in dieting subjects but the Vegans had significantly more SHBG. Which other studies link to regulating healthy hormone levels.. which is a whole other topic.

ANYWAY I'm about to turn 30 and after I do I'll probably get some blood work done to see where all my levels are at.

Any other vegans out there ever been tested?
