This made me laugh. I had a similar conversation with a surgical registrar about how my body does great eating no fiber (I eat carnivore). She did not react well at all.
It took time for us to do the damage, it takes time for our bodies to heal it. Great your numbers are coming down. The Aware Clinic sounds very promising. Let us know how it goes with them.
Is it a thing for some people? I never experienced anything like this but I am healthy (not perfection but I think I can say I am) and I eat a lot on any woe. As undereating often comes with coldness, I have heard and it makes sense but I never experienced that either⌠Some people have it easier. And there are zillion reasons to feel cold. For me, itâs usually mood, a low temperature while staying still) or tiredness. But surely there are many physical or mental reasons for it. I havenât heard about the carb one but I can imagine it happens to someone even without undereating (it could be mental but maybe physical too? I donât know), we are so very different.
Yeah, handling reality isnât the forte of every doctorsâŚ
It could be you are not eating enough. Fasting tends to make people cold, too. You can try upping your protein. Eating protein definitely warms me up.
FRom the online AI overview:
Eating protein can increase body temperature because the body needs to use more energy to digest it, which releases heat. This process is called diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT). Protein is more difficult to break down than carbohydrates or fats, so it requires more energy. In fact, 30% of proteinâs energy is released through the bodyâs surface, compared to 5â6% for carbohydrates and 4â5% for fats.
Yes, protein, thereâs that too. Of course it doesnât happen to everyone, I never noticed a warmth difference between my 0-20g and 200g protein days⌠I wonder why. But many people reports there is a HUGE difference!
