ENERGY and metabolic healing
For a year now, I've combined the advice of Dr Sarah Myhill of the UK, and Sally K Norton, MS in Public Health in the US, and I'm getting so much more energy.
Dr Myhill has an entire wiki with published papers from herself & team, with many books. Sally K Norton has a great website that can get anyone started, with a book from a publisher, with more e-books available on the website, like her new Oxalate Listing guide. I'm in my sixth year eating a "high animal foods diet" because people understand that better than they do carnivore. So I have a whole new picture of what I call the "torpor" of overweight. It's no wonder we so easily slip into what looks like depression, sloth, and laziness. But it's because we don't have the energy for anything on top of the bad sleep, poor stress handling, and constantly nagging hunger. Living on carbs does it to us. The most recent revelations that two mental illnesses known to be difficult to treat with current pharmaceuticals have an 80% good patient response, and a high rate of actual seeming remission, simply by following a species appropriate diet. Which is not the kind our authorities recommend we eat. If a drug had such a response, France would run out of champagne. But I hear a lot more about the drug, because we let drug companies advertise in this country. No wonder so many people trust drugs more than food. But then, the first thing I noticed on Atkins after only a few days in, that I was reliably able to avoid fighting off a nap after lunch. I not only fought it off with ease, by the end of a week I wasn't even getting that feeling. This whole journey has taught me that brain and body can't function without the other, it is the same thing, and metabolic hits everything. So, the steps I took are as follows, in case anyone needs a tip or three:
I am fortunate to live near lots of lovely wilderness areas. A hiking path goes straight through my small town, and I have easy -- flat -- access to it. I can then climb a hill, to a path, to a walk around a lake and then a climb to a mountain. That's the mood I'm in. But I will work up in literal steps. Mind you, this is a "lunch hour" mountain in local parlance. Among trail runners. It is a new experience to crave hiking the way I do now. I always loved it, but now I have the energy to match my ambition. |
Thanks for sharing all these great tips! :thup: With an easy analysis of diet macros, whether it is Atkins or the newer PE diet, it all primary focuses on Protein now. That 1 gram of Protein per Pound of ideal body weight leads to good health. When we "were thinking on carbs", it was all about carbs and fats. Fat is a lever to personalize your goals. You have been healing and at times underweight, so that percent of fat is perfect for you. To stay lean I need to use less fat but the satiety from protein, fermented foods, optimal micronutrients, etc. all offer that same energy you now enjoy. Congratulations on your regaining energy and metabolic health! :agree:

Thanks, JEY. Never thought I'd have a underweight problem, but yanno... another goal realized :)

Sally K Norton has released a data companion guide to Toxic Superfoods. Years of research went into this guide to oxalates in foods, comparing a lot of disparate research.
Will update as I read it. Available as a PDF or hardback through her site. |
