I came across even more information on this subject, if anyone else happens to be interested.

National Center for Home Food Preservation

This site has a ton of detail, for those who appreciate such things (me).

Have you been taking any multivitamins? It has been shown that lack of vitamins, such as vitamin B can result in a decrease in testosterone and related processes.

Its funny that you call it "boot camp" as I read a study that showed soldiers undergoing training with an average energy deficiency of 1800 Calories daily (1800 more Calories burned than eaten) had significant decreases in testosterone.

How is your exercise plan? Do you include resistance training?

I found that lower testosterone levels have been associated with decreased muscular power output, which may slow your results if you are including resistance training and using muscle gain and the resulting calorie burn to shed pounds.

All of this information I found in the journal "Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise", and I can provide references if you are interested.

Hope this helps.

Fantastic! Thank you for your helpful input. Exactly what I was looking for.

Very interesting! Thanks!

Just found the podcast and website, great stuff! I have been catching up on past episodes and am enjoying it!

Jeff mentioned that he cooks in bulk, and freezes the meals to have ready throughout the week. Any tips on this? What types of foods freeze well, and which don't? Do things turn out better when you freeze items separately? (chicken, veggies) What types of containers would you recommend? Regular tupperware I would think would be ok.

I am eager to try this, but hoping to avoid cooking a massive amount of food and having it taste bad or get freezer burn.

I performed a quick search, but could not find anything. Thanks in advance for your help!

oops, I thought I was posting to the Fat2Fit radio group here on traineo.
