I don’t have their numbers offhand but one of them got regular blood panels and reported testosterone crashed and didn’t recover after they went back to a normal diet (and exercise), also several hormones relating to hunger were screwy and they confirmed they can easily eat 5k calories now and not want to stop. Other did not have blood panels but reported similar symptoms.
People might be a bit too quick to associate whatever health problems they have to whatever intervention they were running at the moment they got them.
Suddenly being able to eat far more than one could earlier right after getting off a diet that explicitly restricts calories seems like a fairly safe causal conclusion.
In what way were their hormone levels affected? I can’t even begin to guess.
