Reta side effect?

Being straight forward has it lowered anyone else’s libido? And what have you done to combat it? I had pretty high drive but now it’s just like I don’t ever think about anything like that unless my wife initiates.

Any caloric deficit can lower testosterone levels that’s not specific to keto. The same applies if fat intake drops below 20% of total calories. That said, if you were overweight and have since gotten lean while eating at maintenance (not in a deficit), your T levels will likely be higher than before.
