Now i don't know what the **** is going on!

few possibilities:

Stress (i have been under quite a lot of stress over the last few days with diet and work, however i have been under pressure before and was still like a bunny!)

Low testosterone (I have a blood test tomorrow morning, so this will either confirm or rule that out)

Prolactin (I very much doubt this has elevated going from my response to dostinex and the fact the tumour has completely gone.

Low carbs

Any one else noticed libido and erection problems doing low carbs?
I'm in week 11 of my diet, the last 3 weeks have been Monday to Saturday am Keto (less than 20g carbs / day), rest of Saturday as a carb up day, with Sunday as a medium carb (approx 100g).

I have deffinately noticed lack of libido mate, even though I am supported with gear.

On the plus side, my lower obliques and serratus became much more deffined very quickly after changing over to this style of diet after 6 weeks of regular carb cycling.

The other thing I am noticing is dizzy spells during my 2nd cardio session of the day which I assume is blood-sugar related.

Obviously strength is down some what but no more than expected.

Becareful if your using ECA, I'm going to be taking a break from ephedrine as its really giving me anxiety problems at the moment.

Have to agree with Cons post. IMO there are far better protein / fat sources availiable than processed meat. Personally, I stick with lean meat or fish and add the fat in the form of fish oil, nuts and hemp / flax oil.
Also, I can't see any point in frying anything in olive oil. Your just going to degrade the oil.

But , have to say this a very interesting read and will be looking forward to seeing the results
