Natural Testosterone Levels and Cutting

[bulkncut]

So I've been reading some of the guides here for cutting, and I'm beginning to make plans on what I should be eating. One question I have from looking at the suggested amount of daily fat for cutting (around 25% or so seems about right), is wether testosterone levels will go down while taking in less fat? Is there anything in particular I need to do to ensure my natural T-levels stay the same or continue to stay high?

Even though less belly fat will be good for raising t levels, from reading different articles, it seems that high carb and low fat diets actually decrease t levels. I'm just a bit confused and I'm looking for a bit of light on this situation?

I think you have it right at 25%. Heck, you can even go more than that and keep carbs lower. Whatever you do, I wouldn't go below 20% fat intake. If I'm not mistake, testosterone as well as other hormones in the body are predominantly composed of fats/cholesterol. So low dietary fat levels can contribute to a decrease in production of these hormones.
