Bioenergetics - Learn to embrace sugar

[ThyroidDriven @thyroiddriven]

I struggled for my first 3 years of lifting with the same problem

"Will I have energy to train today

Or will I have to force it again?"

I didn't lack discipline or drive. I lacked literal energy. Cold feet and hands, little appetite, 0 results, strength went up and down randomly...

Diet was high in PUFAs for some time. Then it was fasting. Then carnivore. Then 2 meals a day

Steps didn't help me cut much weight. I walked 20k a day for some time and still struggled

More protein didn't build more muscle. It just slowed my transit even more

I did try a lot of stuff

When I found about peating it was a really strange diet

Wdym sugar? Isn't white sugar bad?

Curiosity got the best of me, and I went down the rabbit hole

Fast forward to now, I can proudly say I went back to my original childlike state

Curious, energetic, living life effortelssly, solving problems and growing bigger, taller and stronger

And this was robbed from me by the high protein diet

Too much protein and fat slows your thyroid. Little sugar in the diet does too. Big windows in between meals do too. Not enough calcium does too

Not enjoying life and your food does too. A lot

And the point is simple

You should always aspire to feel good. Warm. Curious. Strong. Happy. ENERGETIC

Whatever helps your body get into this state is whats healthy for you

Don't listen to people that don't know how do you feel. Experiment with protein intake, with fat intake, with step goals, with how much you train...

With everything. And write it down. Then check the results, and act accordingly

Following other people's advice blindly is not the move. You will always know what's best for you

That said, most people (especially in the lifting space) would benefit a lot from eating more sugar

Don't take my word for it. Don't take anyone's words for anything

Listen to everyone, give them a chance and experiment yourself

Then check the results and give your personal veredict

Treat your body as your biggest experiment. The most important one you will ever have

@BerbarianWizard The masculine urge to go to war being suppresed by world peace organizations

[ThyroidDriven @thyroiddriven]

Training warm-ups that take 20-30 minutes...

Weak grip, need straps for everything...

Weak pumps, low energy, need preworkout just to train normally...

All signs of low thyroid function

And if you still force yourself to train after all this...

Don't be surprised when your whole body hurts the next day

(Hint: It's also thyroid related)

@GutFirstHealth The message is good, but it's not bc of CO2 tho, mostly because of mold, VCOS and humidity. CO2 is great

Hence why people living in higher altitudes report better health and lower risk of cardiovacular diseases

If you wake up at 3am and can't get back to sleep, one tablespoon of honey before bed would fix it

Waking up in the middle of the night is not normal

Not even to pee

If you do it's because your cortisol spiked too early

Your cortisol spiking is normal, it's to wake you up

But if it did at 3 AM, it's because you ran out of fuel for the night

Your liver glycogen is empty. Cortisol peaks in order to refill blood sugar

This causes you to wake up and not be able to go back to sleep

And when you finally do, you'll still wake up wrecked next day

The tablespoon of honey does not seem like a lot of food

But just that tiny bit of fructose can refill your glycogen enough to last through the night

Especially if you haven't eaten anything in the last 2-3 hours

Add some magnesium in there, and you'll achieve the deepest sleep you've ever tasted

@rand_longevity This is cortisolmaxxing for no reason

Could be acceptable if you have some food in your stomach

[ThyroidDriven @thyroiddriven]

@GutFirstHealth Mouthtape works for this right?

Bc people who snore never feel well rested

What could be the worst that could happen to someone eating insanely low fat?

(While most of those fats come from coco oil)

[ThyroidDriven @thyroiddriven]

@BasedBiohacker I'd straighten that shit with a hammer, then put some duct tape on it, and proceed to sleep for a week straight while eating only milk

@MitchellSaron If they break you, you have some fixing to do

Everyone should taste what carb-heaven feels like

@holisticbaddie I literally have 0 protein and only sugar when I wake up

@Crumbuloni @luisomor Sucrose is half glucose half fructose

Looksmaxxers don't even know how to looksmaxx now

I wonder what they'd think about Progest-E

[Our Own Nation @OurOwnNation]

Twitter would have a melt down if they learned looksmaxxers are telling Men to lather their skin in estrogen. I’m serious it’s not satire, dozens of Looksmaxxers are promoting Tazarotene, Azelic acid, and >0.01% estriol cream.

@Zygomatic03 Gift her some Progest-E and buy the wedding ring beforehand
