Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution. I think my nervousness, tremors, anxiety-like sensations, etc. are due to poor glucose management. The problem is that all my blood tests are good:

Blood sugar 81

Glycosylated hemoglobin 4.9

Insulin 2.73

Total cholesterol 173

Triglycerides 65

HDL 63

LDL 97

GOT ast 20

GPT alt 18

Total bilirubin 1.10

Ferritin 84

Transferrin 234

Serum iron 91

Homocysteine 7.92

Ft3 2.63

Ft4 0.80

TSH 2.46

Antithyroglobulin antibodies 16.90

Cortisol 16.20

Folic acid 5.33

B12 521

D3 34

Copper 98

Zinc 135

Blood glucose curve after 75 g of glucose

Basal 80

After 30 min 143

After 60 min 123

After 90 min 72

After 120 min 69

Insulin curve

Basal 3.8

After 30 min 21.9

After 60 min 26.5

After 90 min 25.5

After 120 min 19.3

And yet I feel so sick, I feel faint, nervous, constantly hungry despite eating 2100 calories a day (female, 29 years old, 160 cm, 52 kg).

Can anyone help me understand what's wrong?

What to do? When I eat high carb (like now) my glycated hemoglobin drops to 4.9 but if I reduce carbs it goes up to 5.3 but I'm probably more stable mentally too with a higher glycated hemoglobin...

34M, LDL ~150 — what major diet changes would you make?

He eats a pretty normal Indian home diet — poha + chai, roti/sabzi/dal, chai + samosa, roti/sabzi/khichdi, milk. Oil/ghee intake is already relatively low.
No known family history of high cholesterol.
We want to try 3 months of lifestyle changes before reassessing.
For people who have successfully lowered LDL, what were the biggest diet changes that actually made a noticeable difference? What would you specifically change in this diet?

If I'm avoiding dairy, eggs, and histamine rich foods, would lamb be the best source of protein?

butter/ghee/cod liver + carnivore mix from 20 yo to 24yo
any thoughts? 90-85/10 protein to fat ratio

1900-3500ccal daily depending on day, do nothing only walk

I've spent some time these past few years eating a mix of fats and carbs and proteins with no intentional abstention from anything. Consequently, I can really tell my carbohydrate metabolism is becoming progressively impaired. You don't feel as good, and this mixture confuses the body and the hunger drive because you haven't picked a lane. I think you have to choose what your fuel source is going to be, and what is going to drive satiation in your meals. Right now I just kind of stop because I don't want to eat too much, rather than because im completely satisfied.

I think I'm going to try high carb low fat and see how that goes, with an emphasis on fruit. I'm pretty suspicious of our capacity to accommodate starches. I think the fruitarians are correct that our desire for fruit is far more innate, and that digestion of starches is either inadequate in the case of fibrous plants like beans, or adequate to our detriment in the case of potatoes and such, which create blood sugar issues. So I guess im going to be loading up with bananas.

Hi guys, maybe this isn't the right sub, but I wanted to know if anyone else has neurological problems like brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and uncontrollable hunger when they eat gluten. I'm undiagnosed, and I was wondering if it makes sense to eliminate it, but I think it's causing these symptoms. Do you eat gluten?

Hello,

So we know the issue with rapid weight loss is that it will tank your thyroid and give you cold hands and feet so even when you reach your goal weight you will gain a lot of it back once you try to go back to maintenance.

Has anyone figured out if there's a way to prevent this besides dieting down slowly?

Perhaps eating only sugar/fruits/honey the fgf21 activation could bring the thyroid back up to shape without weight gain?

or if you eat only fruits and rapidly lose weight perhaps the fgf21 and high amount of carbs would have a protective effect against your thyroid tanking?

Just guesses

Im curious. What are all your thoughts? Thanks

This quote:

>In the l940s, farmers attempted to use cheap coconut oil for fattening their animals, but they found that it made them lean, active and hungry. For a few years, an antithyroid drug was found to make the livestock get fat while eating less food, but then it was found to be a strong carcinogen, and it also probably produced hypothyroidism in the people who ate the meat. By the late l940s, it was found that the same antithyroid effect, causing animals to get fat without eating much food, could be achieved by using soy beans and corn as feed.

And similarly:

>Coconut oil is the least fattening of all the oils. Pig farmers tried to use it to fatten their animals, but when it was added to the animal feed, coconut oil made the pigs lean [See Encycl. Brit. Book of the Year, 1946].

However I have spent a good deal of time looking through it and cannot find anything relevant. Has anyone ever found the exact source of this anecdote?

Apparently when you block interleukin 6 the visceral fat stays.
