I think you took a bad test. I would tell the DR. that you have NO sex drive and have them perscribe you human grade Testosterone and have you insurance pick up the tab. Sweet deal. I bet that you are fine and try not to worry.

I know you dont have a problem with this bro but here goes:

low fat diets lower testosterone levels, the importance of dietary fat for anyone wanting to build muscle faster

New research has confirmed the importance of dietary fat for anyone wanting to build muscle faster. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University analysed the effects of different nutrients on testosterone levels. Because testosterone and muscle growth are connected, they were trying to establish which types of diet would be most effective at raising testosterone.

While the researchers found a strong link between protein and testosterone (highlighting the importance of getting enough protein in your diet), they were also surprised to find a connection between dietary fat and testosterone.

In other words, as fat in the diet dropped, so did testosterone! Obviously, if you're training to build muscle, low testosterone levels will slow down your progress.

Here are 3 steps you can take today to make sure your diet isn't lowering your testosterone levels.

1. Ensure that you're getting enough protein.
Foods such as lean red meat, chicken, and fish are good sources of protein. You can also use 2-3 scoops of Promax each day if you're concerned that you're not getting enough protein in your diet. Remember that protein is a key component of natural steroids within your body.

2. Don't cut all fat from your diet.
If your diet is too low in fat (especially the essential fatty acids, such as those found in fish), then your testosterone levels will also plummet. Aim to consume around 20-30% of your total calories each day in the form of good fats.

3. Include Progain in your diet.
Progain contains both Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT's) and Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's). Both are "good" fats that help to optimise testosterone levels and boost muscle growth. Progain also contains BIOMAX, a high-quality whey protein that feeds your muscles with the nutrients they need to grow. The carbohydrate in Progain is also derived from maltodextrin (a complex carbohydrate) rather than cheap simple carbohydrates that promote fat storage.
