@BroJonas how is this worse than someone with low waking temperature and low Testosterone? That someone doesn’t even have the adrenal resources to regulate his body temperature to an optimal level.

High Metabolism Keto possible?
For anyone who uses Twitter, this account caught my attention. https://x.com/exfatloss
He also has a blog: https://www.exfatloss.com/Basically, he is eating a high fat, low carb, low protein keto diet with heavy cream as a staple and claims to have a very high metabolism - feeling very warm, high temps, high Testosterone (over 1000) and very low TSH. (0.198)
He claims that Peat is wrong in the saying that Keto can't be a pro-metabolic diet.Thoughts?
Perhaps protein being anti-metabolic matters the most, and not whether you eat carbs or not.https://x.com/exfatloss/status/1732849040952623289
Some of his tweets:Ray Peat was clearly bonkers-level wrong about keto, and Peatists just can't accept the truth.
Just like ketards who can't accept infinity protein isn't the only solution, or that seed oils might be more important than carbs.Yea, I think Peat is right on many things - he was anti-PUFA and wary of high BCAAs, and probably many others issues I haven't read about yet (I've only read a bit of his writing).
Modern "internet keto" is, in a sense, a death trap for many - it's "bacon bacon bacon!" all the time, it implicitly encourages many people to consume e.g. salad dressings with soybean oil and high-PUFA chicken/pork, and way too much muscle meat.
But keto can also be done low-PUFA and low/moderate/adequate BCAA.
The idea that nobody, anywhere, could possibly be healthy on keto long-term is what I'm taking issue with. -
RE: Thyroid Log
Quick update
Daytime temps are good, I often reach 36.8 - 37 C. Nighttime temps are lower from what I noticed, they go as low as 36.0 or 35.8, even in the summertime.
I haven't been feeling that great on 125 mcg T4 (+ added T3). I think the T4 is making me feel emotionally flat, numb. Libido and vitality hasn't improved.
I might switch things up and lower my T4 intake.Blood tests look good, TSH between 1 and 1.5 on this amount of T4, FT4 mid-normal range, FT3 mid-high range.

RE: How to restore glucose oxidation/ insulin sensitivity?
@Ray-Peat-Fanboy Yeah, I'm currently doing low-ish fats: 40 - 60g per day.

RE: New "Mission" of RPF
Seems like raypeatforum is making a comeback. Lots of active threads lately.

RE: Dr. John McDougall passed away at age 77.
Stroke at 18 is rough. Just like Peat, he had a rough start to life.

RE: How to restore glucose oxidation/ insulin sensitivity?
I have started to consciously reduce my daily fat intake. It’s hard not going above 25%. Keeping fat under 25% does require a deliberate effort.
I definitely have more energy eating this way, as I’ve noticed in the past. -
RE: ADHD, Severe fatigue, digestion problems etc..
@ThinPicking how’s your cholesterol/ lipid panel? I have a theory that those who get very bad lipid numbers on meat and dairy based diet are better of eating high carb, high plant based, and those who not, are better with higher fats and protein in their diets.

@GreekDemiGod Megadose taurine bro
It will help ur insulin sensitivity and bile problems
Have already been doing that for more than a year (with breaks) , but the only effect I feel from it is anxiolytic.
@NotShanalotte I tried digestive enzymes last time this year (Enzymedica), they do aid in digestion, but only mildly. Not enough to justify using them permanently.

Lastly, if you are in such a low metabolic state, it will be harder to build up your magnesium stores as magnesium binds to ATP in a magnesium-ATP complex
I am currently taking thyroid and have good temps and pulse. Been on it for >2 months.
I was expecting to have some influence on my lipid panel, but it did not.
