Nutrition is one of the most important variables in successful natural testosterone
optimization. Without a proper diet that nourishes the endocrine system, the whole
idea of increasing ones testosterone levels naturally crumbles to pieces. If your diet
fails you, supplements won't fix shit, neither does exercise, or even good sleep.
Simply put, in order to have a naturally high production of male hormones, you
need to eat like a man.
So, what are the basics of a testosterone boosting diet?
Healthy intake of starchy carbohydrates, preferably tubers and root
vegetables, since many grains contribute to elevated prolactin levels (which is
a hormone that can seriously mess up with ones testosterone production) As
a rule of thumb, ~40% of your daily calories should come from carbs (this
recommendation is based on several studies which you can read more in
detail through this link).
Protein is not in a big role when boosting testosterone. Surely, i'ts a vital
macronutrient when building muscle, but several studies have also shown
that high protein diets are detrimental for T production. As a rule of thumb,
your daily protein intake should be ~20% of your daily calories, and most if
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 3
not all, coming from animal sources (you can find more information about
protein and testosterone via this link).
Dietary fat has been praised as a testosterone booster for years now, and
yes, it's true that dietary fat intake positively correlates with increased
testosterone production in multiple studies. Hence why I recommend that
~40% of your daily calories come from dietary fats. However, what's more
important than the amount, is the type of fat. Whereas saturated and
monounsaturated fatty-acids have been shown to significantly increase
testosterone levels, trans-fats and polyunsaturated fatty-acids have the exact
opposite effect, they can significantly reduce circulating T levels! (more info
about dietary fat and testosterone can be found from this link).
Your caloric intake matters too. If you eat too little, your body starts
conserving energy for the most vital processes needed for survival.
Unfortunately the reproductive system (and along with it T production) is one
of the first systems to take the hit. So don't eat too little! Eating too much on
the other hand, while it may boost testosterone levels short-term, it'll make
you fat as a long-term solution... Hence, why I recommend that you calculate
your daily calorie need, and then eat accordingly to that (more about calories
and testosterone can be found here).
Last but not least, the endocrine system requires multiple micronutrients to
function properly, especially the minerals: zinc, magnesium, iodine, selenium,
boron and calcium, with the vitamins: A, B-complex, C, D, and K2. This is the
reason why eating REAL nutrient dense foods (read: not packaged crap) is
hugely important if your main goal is to optimize hormones.
To help you achieve the ”goals” seen above, this testosterone cookbook delivers you
12 healthy, endocrine system nourishing, and downright delicious recipes.
At the end of each recipe, is a section where it's shown in detail (and with studies)
why the specific ingredients were selected and how they can contribute to elevated
testosterone levels.
Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Swiss
Steak Of Awesomeness
This is a rather simple recipe, in which you’ll only need a pan and a crockpot. But keep in
mind that as this is a slow cooker recipe, you’ll have to slow cook the shit out of the
steaks for 6-8 hours, resulting in ultimate tenderness and jaw-droppingly awesome taste.
What You’ll Need
6 beef blade steaks
8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, sliced
1 tbsp fresh thyme, minced
1 ½ tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 cup beef stock
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup sorghum flour
4 tbsp olive oil
½ cup heavy cream
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
salt & pepper to taste
Preparation
1. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add in 1 tbsp olive oil and the mushroom slices.
Cook until the mushrooms start to brown. Remove from pan and put into the slow
cooker.
2. Return the pan to medium heat and season the blade steaks with salt and
pepper. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil again and brown the steaks. Once browned, set them
aside on a plate.
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 5
3. Once again, return the pan to medium heat, this time add: 2 tbsp olive oil, sliced
onions, and ground cayenne pepper. Cook and stir for a minute, then add the
sorghum flour and dry sherry into the mix. Cook again for a minute, then pour the
contents of the pan into the crockpot.
4. Add the blade steak slices on top of the mixture in crockpot, cover, and cook for
6-8 hours on low heat.
5. After 6-8 hours, remove the steaks into a serving plate and cover with foil so that
they stay warm. Meanwhile add the heavy cream and chopped parsley into the
liquid still in the slow cooker. Heat for another 10 minutes to make a sauce. Pour
the sauce on top of the blade steaks, and serve with mashed potatoes.
6. Eat.

Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Beef steak is easily the best source of animal protein you would want to eat on a
high testosterone diet (here’s why).
b) White button mushrooms are natural aromatase inhibitors, meaning that they
inhibit the conversion from testosterone into estrogen (study, study, study).
c) Onions have been linked to increased testosterone production in multiple animal
studies (study, study, study, study).
d) Cayenne pepper has a testosterone protecting effect in testicular leydig cells, that
is, at least when you’re on a diet (study).
e) Sorghum has a potent DHT boosting effect, which was noted in this in-vitro study.
f) Olive oil is a great source of monounsaturated fatty acids, which are crucially
important for healthy testosterone production (here’s why). Also, a study with young
Moroccan men saw that 2 weeks of using olive oil as a main source of fat, increased
testosterone levels by 20%.
g) Heavy cream is a great source for saturated fat, a.k.a, the most testosterone
friendly type of dietary fat (study, study, study, study).
h) Parsley contains high amounts of a compound called apigening, which has been
linked to significant increases in testosterone production, due to its stimulatory
effect on testicular StAR protein (study).

Spicy Testosterone
Boosting Lamb Stew
This is a simple recipe for a testosterone boosting spicy lamb stew. Most of the
ingredients that I’ve selected for this recipe come with testosterone boosting benefits. The
ones that don’t, are in just to give the dish some taste.
What You’ll Need
3 lbs of lamb shoulder meat, cubed
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 onions, chopped
6 cloves of garlic, minced
2 red bell peppers, chopped
2 tablespoons of ginger, ground
1½ tablespoons of cayenne pepper, ground
2 cups of beef stock
5 tomatoes, puréed
1 handful of fresh parsley
1 teaspoon of pure sea salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
Preparation
1. Add the 3 tablespoons of olive oil into a pan or high sided pot. Add the lamb meat
cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes until the cubes are evenly brown on all sides. Put
the meat into a bowl.
2. Heat the same pan or high sided pot that you cooked the lamb cubes in, but this
time put it to medium-high heat and add in the onions and bell peppers. Cook,
stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking for 1 more
minute.
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 8
3. Throw in the beef stock, lamb cubes, cayenne pepper, ginger, puréed tomatoes,
and fresh parsley leaves. Bring the pan or pot to boil over high heat, then lower the
heat to low and cook partially covered for 3 hours, or until the lamb is tender.
4. Season with salt and pepper. Eat.
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 9
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Lamb meat is a good source of carnitine which is an amino-acid that increases
androgen receptor density and sensitivity. There’s also saturated fat, cholesterol,
high quality protein, zinc, several B vitamins, and CLA in lamb meat and all of which
are linked to increased testosterone production.
b) The olive oil consists mostly of monounsaturated fatty accids, which in this
study were shown to be pro-testosterone. This study found out that olive oil
converted cholesterol more easily into testosterone. And this studysaw that healthy
male subjects who switched to using olive oil as their main source of fat noted a
17% increase in their testosterone levels.
c) Onions contain hefty amounts of quercetin and alliins, compounds that both are
linked to increased T production. Moreover this study found out that feeding fresh
onion juice to male rats more than tripled their serum testosterone levels.
d) Garlic is also rich in alliins and quercetin, and it comes not as a surprise that few
studies have found out its testosterone boosting effects, such as this and this study.
e) Ginger increased testosterone levels by 17% in this human study, and it more
than doubled testosterone levels inthis rat study. This animal study also found out
that it works similarly in diabetic rats.
f) Cayenne pepper, at least according to this study, may have a testosterone
boosting effect.
g) This in-vitro study found out that parsley contains a compound called apigening,
which stimulates testosterone synthesis inside isolated leydig cells.

Blueberry Pomegranate
Smoothie
This is a smoothie recipe for some healthy, tasty, and downright easy pomegranate and
blueberries smoothie…
…And as always, it’s good for your testosterone production.
What You’ll Need
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 cup spinach
1 banana
5 ice cubes
Preparation
1. Get a quality blender that can crush ice.
2. Throw everything into the blender and blend.

12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 11
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Blueberries are loaded with testosterone-friendly antioxidants, and a fiber called
Calcium-D-Glucarate, which binds into estrogen molecules and helps your body in
the removal process.
b) Pomegranate juice increased testosterone levels by 24% in healthy
humans according to this study. It’s also a potentnitric oxide booster, meaning that
it increases blood flow in the body.
c) Spinach is also a potent blood flow enhancer as it’s packed with natural nitrates
which convert into nitric oxide when ingested. Spinach may also increase
testosterone levels.

consume for a testosterone boost. Butter is also filled with CLA which is linked to
increased testosterone production.
b) Onions are well documented for their testosterone boosting effects
(study, study, study)
c) Same goes for garlic (study, study)
d) Beef and pork sausages give you some high quality protein, along with
the testosterone boosting saturated fat.
e) Eggs are filled with cholesterol, which is the number #1 building block for
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 14
testosterone. Eggs also have this nutrient called choline, which helps your body to
get rid of excess estrogen.
f) Olive oil increased testosterone levels by 17% in this study. It also converted
cholesterol more easily into testosterone here.

The Hasselback Potato
This is a simple recipe for a fancy potato, which just happens to be an awesome
carbohydrate source, especially after workouts and before hitting the sack.
The hasselback potatoes are easy to prepare and they go well with steaks, pulled pork,
chicken, etc. Needless to say that the Hasselback potatoes are also testosterone friendly.
What You’ll Need
5-6 medium baking potatoes
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 pinch coarse sea salt
1 handful chives, chopped

the potatoes, cut nearly all the way through, making thin slices.
3. Sprinkle the garlic in between the slits. Throw some butter on top of the potato.
Drizzle the olive oil on top too. Finish off by sprinkling the salt and chives on top of
the potatoes.
4. Bake for roughly 1 hour or until the potatoes are crispy from the outside and soft
from the inside.
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 16
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Carbohydrates are essential for testosterone production, and potatoes just so
happen to be one of the best types of carbs for a man to consume.
b) Garlic has been linked to increased testosterone production in various studies
(study, study).
c) Olive oil increased testosterone by 17% in this study. One study also found that
it converts cholesterol more easily into testosterone.
d) Butter is a good source of saturated fat, which is not unhealthy, and boosts
testosterone levels.
e) Chives contain a flavonoid called quercetin, which is linked to increased
testosterone and nitric oxide production. It’s also a rich source for testosterone
boosting allicin and alliin.

Coconut Shrimp With
Sweet & Spicy Sauce
Tired of fried chicken? Want something similar but with healthy testosterone boosting
ingredients?
Great, that’s what I have you for here. An extremely simple recipe for some mind
blowingly awesome coconut shrimps with sweet and spicy dipping sauce.
I guarantee you that healthy eating has never tasted this damn good, ever.
What You’ll Need
24 shrimps, peeled and deveined
1 cup coconut, shredded
1 cup almond flour/meal
1 egg, organic
pinch of sea salt
some sweet chili sauce (or make your own)
some olive oil spray
Preparation
1. Heat an oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it lightly
with olive oil.
2. In a bowl, mix together the coconut shreds, almond flour/meal, and a pinch of sea
salt. In another bowl, lightly whisk the egg.
3. Dip the shrimps in the coconut, almond, sea salt mix, so that both sides are fully
coated. Then dip the shrimps in the egg and finally sprinkle it with some more
coconut shreds.
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 18
4. Place the shrimps into the baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes, then take the
baking sheet out and flip the shrimps. Continue cooking for 6-7 more minutes.
5. When your coconut shrimps are cooling, prepare the sweet chili sauce, or make
your own using this guide.
6. Serve the coconut shrimps with sweet spicy dip.
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Shrimp is a good source for selenium, which in this study increased testosterone
levels in human males. It’s also packed with DHA which is a fatty acid linked
to increased luteinizing hormone (LH) production. Not to mention that shrimp also
has a fantastic fat profile with plenty of omega-3’s and hefty doses of testosterone
boosting cholesterol.
NOTE: Shrimps also contain this antioxidant called astaxanthin, which can inhibit the 5-a
enzyme and thus block DHT as I explained in one of my recent posts. However the
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 19
amount of astaxanthin in a serving of shrimps is so miniscule that it will not impact your
DHT levels by a bit.
b) Egg is a good source for estrogen lowering choline, and testosterone boosting
cholesterol.
c) Coconut has been linked to elevated testosterone production in this study. It’s
also filled with natural saturated fat which according to this study, is the number #1
fatty acid for testosterone production.

The Bananas And Beets
Brownie
This recipe is originally from a book called “The Ultimate Paleo Desserts” and when I saw
the ingredients, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was a brownie for sure, but there was no
sugar on the ingredient list, instead there was bananas and beets.
Yup, that’s right. Bananas and beets in a brownie, no sugar, all healthy ingredients. And
the taste…. Let me just say that you won’t believe it until you give this recipe a try.
What You’ll Need
2 red beets, cooked
2 bananas, organic
2 eggs, organic
1/2 cup whey, chocolate flavor (I used this)
1/2 cup raw cocoa powder
1/3 cup Brazil nuts (or almonds)
1 tablespoon baking powder
Preparation
1. Heat an oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a baking pan with butter or coconut oil.
2. Throw the beets, eggs, whey, cocoa powder, Brazil nuts, bananas, and baking
powder into a blender and press play. Mix until you have a smooth texture.
3. Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for roughly 30 minutes.
4. Eat
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 21
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Beets contain hefty amounts of betaine, which is a methylator that helps your
body to chelate away estrogen molecules.
b) Raw cacao gives you a nice dose of antioxidants and testosterone boosting
nutrients such as magnesium, zinc, and saturated fat.
c) Whey protein (along with exercise) increases androgen receptor density and
sensitivity all over the body.
d) Eggs contain cholesterol, which is the number #1 building block for all sex
hormones, including testosterone. Eggs are also filled with choline, which is a
methylator, just like betaine.
e) Brazil nuts contain a mineral called selenium, which increased testosterone and
sperm quality in this study.

12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 23
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Eggs contain HDL cholesterol, which is the “good” heart friendly cholesterol that
acts as a direct precursor for testosterone. Eggs are also packed with choline,
which helps your body to chelate away estrogens.
b) Bacon contains cholesterol, which increases testosterone levels as explained
above. It’s also filled with natural saturated fat, which according to this study is the
best fat there is for testosterone production.

The Delicious Max Testo
Burger
What You’ll Need (for 4 burgers)
4 hamburger buns, preferably make your own
1½ pounds beef, ground
8 bacon slices
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 pinch himalayan or sea salt
1 pinch ground pepper
½ red onion, sliced
4 white button mushrooms, chopped
½ cup blue cheese
4 slices cheddar cheese
1 cup mayo, as fatty as you can find
1 handful of lettuce
Preparation
1. Preheat a grill over high heat.
2. In a bowl, mix the ground beef, mustard, salt, and pepper. Then shape the
mixture into 4 evenly sized patties and grill for 5 minutes a side or until they’re
roughly medium doneness. Then add the cheddar cheese slices on top of the patties
and grill for 1 more minute.
3. Throw the bacon slices, onion slices, and white button mushrooms into the grill or
into a pan, grill/cook until they’re all evenly brown.
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 25
4. Cut the buns in half and grill for 10 seconds the cut side facing down.
5. Start assimilating the hamburger in the order you prefer.
6. Eat.
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Ground beef is a good source for carnitine which is linked to increased androgen
receptor density and sensitivity. Also meat eaters tend to have higher testosterone
levels than the fellows who refuse to eat it.
b) Bacon is an excellent source for testosterone boosting cholesterol and saturated
fat.
c) All kinds of onions are filled with quercetin and alliins, which both are linked to
increased testosterone production. Few studies have also examined the effects that
onions have on testosterone levels and found only positive correlations
(study, study, study, study).
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 26
d) Blue cheese is filled with probiotics, healthy bacteria, and live enzymes, all of
which are linked to elevated testosterone levels.
e) White button mushrooms have the ability to inhibit the aromatase enzyme. It’s an
enzyme that converts testosterone molecules into estrogen molecules. Thus,
blocking its activity will naturally increase your testosterone levels.

Easy Bacon Pie
This is a recipe for simple bacon pie that’s made into a gluten free crust. And like always,
the recipe is designed to be testosterone friendly.
To make the dough for this pie, you can either purchase Bob’s gluten free pie crust mix,
or follow the instructions here to make your own, or you could go ahead and get yourself
a grain based mix too (but that’s not so pro-testosterone anymore).
It takes about 20 minutes to prepare the dish and 40 minutes to cook it in an oven.
What You’ll Need
15 slices of bacon
1 pack of Bob’s Red Mill Pie Crust Mix
1 cup of cheese, shredded
½ cup of blue cheese
4 whole eggs
2 cups of raw or whole milk
½ cup of onions, chopped
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and grease a 10-inch pie plate
with butter.
2. Prepare the Bob’s pie crust mix as instructed in the pack or make your own crust
with this guide.
3. Add the milk, eggs, and chopped onions into a bowl and stir a bit with fork. Pour
the mixture into the pie plate on top of the dough.
4. Cook the bacon slices in a pan until they’re evenly brown. Crumble the bacon on
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 28
top of the pie.
5. Add the shredded cheese and blue cheese on top of the pie.
6. Put the pie into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in
the center comes out clean.
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) Traditionally a pie crust is made with grain-based ingredients. However grains are
not that awesome for your testosterone production and that’s why this recipe uses
a gluten free crust with no wheat and other harmful grains.
b) Eggs are jam-packed with the most important building blocks of
testosterone, cholesterol and saturated fat.
c) Same goes for bacon, it’s filled with testosterone boosting cholesterol and
saturated fat.
d) Blue cheese is laden with live enzymes, probiotics, and healthy bacteria, all of
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 29
which are linked to increased testosterone production.
e) Onions are also linked to increased T production. This study for example found
out that fresh onion juice fed to male wistar rats, tripled their testosterone levels.
Other studies have found out similar results (study, study, study).

12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 31
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) White button mushrooms are known as aromatase enzyme inhibitors. Meaning
that they block the enzyme that converts testosterone into estrogen.
b) Blue cheese is filled with natural saturated fat - which is the number #1 fat for
your testosterone production. Also the cheese is jam-packed with live enzymes,
probiotics, and healthy bacteria, all of which are linked to increased testosterone
production in various studies.
c) And last but not least, the good old bacon is filled with saturated fat and
cholesterol, both of which are crucial for healthy testosterone production.

The Man Salad
To balance your body, even a man has to indulge with salad once in a while… But a salad
doesn’t have to be boring. It doesn’t have to be similar to the ones that women eat, and
quite frankly, it doesn’t have to be meatless…
Heck, a well made salad can be a testosterone boosting powerhouse with multiple T
boosting ingredients.
What You’ll Need (for 10 wrapped mushrooms)
Some leafy greens. I like to use spinach and arugula lettuce myself.
1-2 boiled eggs.
A hefty amount of blue cheese.
Plenty of bacon.
1 Chopped up avocado.
1-2 Tomatoes.
A handful of chopped up Brazil nuts.
Some olive oil to sprinkle on top.
Preparation
1. Prepare the ingredients, then throw everything into a large bowl.
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 33
Here’s Why This Recipe Is Pro-Testosterone
a) If you use spinach as a lettuce base, it’s filled with natural nitrates that convert
into nitric oxide inside of your body. This occurence will then increase your blood
flow. Spinach is also filled with a natural steroid called ecdysterone, which is linked
to elevated testosterone production. Also if you mix in some aragula lettuce, you’ll
get to eat a plant densest in natural nitrates that we know of.
b) The eggs are packed with cholesterol, which is the direct precursor of
testosterone and linked to elevated testosterone production in various studies. Eggs
are also filled with choline, which helps your body to chelate (get rid off) estrogens.
c) Blue cheese is filled with live bacteria, enzymes, and probiotics, and those are all
linked to supreme health and elevated testosterone production.
d) Bacon gives you some natural saturated fat which is the kind of fat
that stimulates testosterone synthesis. Bacon will also give you hefty doses of
testosterone boosting cholesterol.
e) The avocado is jam-packed with mono-unsaturated fatty acids, which in this
12 Testosterone-Boosting Recipes | AnabolicMen.com 34
study increased testosterone production. Avocadoes are also filled with natural
cholesterol, a precursor for testosterone as explained above, and they also contain
various T boosting vitamins such as: C, E, D, and K2.
f) If you decide to chop in some Brazil nut bits, you’re going to get some
testosterone boosting mono-unsaturated fat, natural cholesterol, and plenty
of testosterone boosting selenium.
g) The olive oil will help your testicles to convert cholesterol more easily into
testosterone. It also increased testosterone levels by 17% in this study. Olive oil also
has a compound called Oleuropein which is shown to be anti-estrogenic in fewin-
vitro studies.
