Tobit

Could you please cite some references on this? I have studied this problem since I was diagnosed with Hypogonadism three months ago and you are the only one who has ever said it was caused by diet. My diet isn't perfect but it's a lot better than it used to be and my tesosterone levels are getting lower not better. Edit: The only link to diet and testosterone I have found is to make sure you eat plenty of foods high in Zinc just as red meat and certain fish. Well, I eat a lot of fish and meat already and very little of the junk you cite. Thanks

I'm trying to understand why I weigh so much on the scale when I don't have major significant visual signs of fat. Everyone is shocked when I tell them how much I weigh, myself included, because they tell me it's not possible based on looking at me. Even my doctor was surprised at my last physical.I am male, 35, 73.5" tall and weighed 300 pounds two months ago. Today, after adjusting my diet, I am down to 290 pounds. Looking in the mirror, my fat is mostly in my belly and breasts but it doesn't look like 300 pounds to me nor anyone else. I have a 44" waist. My belly has not lapped over my belt. Most people guess my weight around 250 to 265. My cholesterol levels and blood pressure are perfect. However, I just recently learned that my testosterone levels are super low and I am seeing an Endocrinologist next week to begin injection therapy after trying gel therapy for 2 months with no positive results. No other health problems.I acknowledge that I am fat, and, according to clinical terms, obese, but I am just confused because I know people who actually look obese who weigh less than me and I am trying to understand why.According to all the charts, I am supposed to have a target weight of 174 pounds at my height. I was also just denied health insurance coverage for not being height/weight proportional. I can't imagine weighing only 174 pounds, I think I'd look like a toothpick at that weight. However, I do want to get my weight down to the 200 pound range.Very open to suggestions and feedback. Thanks
