I wonder if I could really be so damn out of shape that it caused this imbalance. I'm chubby but not obese, of course. Technically my weight is not too high for my height, but I'm pretty sure I somehow managed to become overfat without being overweight. I looked into it, and seems that typically when women have High E & low P due to fatness, they also have high T. That confused me, but then I realized that their high T is caused by insulin resistance.
It's complicated, but does anyone think these hormone levels are "normal" in a young(ish) women who is slightly "overfat" but not obese, and probably isn't insulin resistant? By "normal" I don't mean "healthy", of course. I just wonder if slight chubbiness and lack of exercise is enough to explain my imbalance completely. The low T is the part that confuses me the most.
Ages ago I linked to a study explaining the effect of long term exercise on hormone levels in women. I really need to look back at it and see what I can glean from it.
In case it isn't already obvious, I fell head first off the diet and exercise
wagon. What is this, the millionth time now? I'm pathetic, I know.
