Instability
After a week of doing great (or maybe less than a week), I'm having trouble again. This is pretty much usual. I'll increase carbs, and maybe that will help. I'm definitely moving in the right direction, but I'm annoyed that I'm still having these problems (spoiler alert: I probably always will). Really, all I want to eat is meat. I wonder if this means something.
Well, we already know that I am really low on some amino acids. Apparently, chronically high cortisol causes faster amino acid breakdown. I am currently working on the part of the database that will tell me about the amino acids I'm low on (that information wasn't in my initial imported nutrient information). However, I'm eating meat three times a day, and I would like more. I could cut back more on fat and increase protein, or I could try amino supplements.
However, here is an interesting thing I came across while trying to figure out what I should do about food: a sort of bio-hacker lite website. It doesn't analyze enough to be exceptionally helpful. However, they have some blood tests listed there that I haven't had done, I think. Perhaps with their free book, the paper they published, and whatever else I can dig up, I can figure out if there is anything I have missed that they would catch.
I should also look over these papers (paper 1 and paper 2) about cortisol's effect on the diet. And I still need to think about taking amino supplements... or maybe just eating pea soup every day. Ugh. I need to finish those database changes.
