3 sets of 10 sec full intensity sprint? or even this increase cortisol

Sprints are great, but can be pretty taxing/stressful in the body when you're starting. I would start with very short sprints (4-5 seconds) and just one or two repetitions for the first time. You shouldn't have a big stress reaction with that. Wait a few days, see how you body handles it, and add one repetition next time.

I think sprints are one of the best exercises you can do, if you don't kill yourself. Explosive, but short duration.

Jump rope is also good. You can use nose breathing as a guidance. Breath through the nose until there is some air hunger, but not until you're half dead. I noticed that I improved rather quickly when I did this.

For longer exercise, long walks/hiking or bike rides, where you can also use nose breathing as an indicator. In my opinion, long-distance running is one of the worst sports you can do for your health.

What symptoms do you experience? Do you get the same symptoms with cheese? Cheese usually has very little lactose.

Welcome to the club. Even when I'm with other people (which is rare enough), I feel even lonelier than when I'm alone. Because then I realize again that I don't belong and that I don't want to.

I have no solution. I just try to concentrate on what I can do myself and not on what other people do. If you are okay with yourself, there's at least one person you can trust. But it's not a solution.

Just last week a german governmant party announced that in the future they want to add cardiac arrest to the definition of “death” in order to harvest organs.

I assume there would then be no more resuscitation attempts if there's potential big business with organs instead. These people are insane.

Your comment about the PUFA in eggs is very interesting. I hadn't actually considered that. But I think my PUFA intake is still a lot lower than it was in the past when I was cooking with vegetable oil and eating foods that had PUFA's listed as one of the nutrients. Or I was eating out on a regular basis, which I almost completely avoid now.
Do you think the benefits of the nutrients in eggs outweigh the harm of the PUFAs?

To some extent yes. Although I don't eat more than two or three eggs a day. I would probably eat more if I had my own chicken and could feed them accordingly. Another potential downside of that amount of eggs is too much methionine.

But if you current diet works for you, don't change it. Keep watching your health carefully and change something if you feel the need to. Perceive. Think. Act.

Regarding the Cypro in your last post, I think Danny is right. Hypothyroid people often run on stress hormones and Cypro is a pretty effective anti-stress substance. If your thyroid function is low and you also lower your stress hormones very significantly, you are more or less running on nothing and feel very lethargic. In the last two months your metabolism has probably improved a lot and you don't feel lethargic anymore after decreasing stress hormones. Did you also use it on the skin two months ago or orally?

Libido will come back after a while. When I first gave up porn after watching every day for more than ten years, my morning wood came back after about ten weeks. Before that, pretty much nothing, no libido at all.

Grüezi @NokiaDrift (if you are from the German-speaking part of Switzerland. If not, Bonjour or Buon giorno).

You say that you eat no PUFA, but eat ten eggs a day. Unless you have and feed you own chicken or get the eggs from someone who doesn't feed the usual grain feed, you are getting a pretty considerable amount of PUFA with ten eggs a day. Just something to consider.

Regaring you sleep problem (although it's better now): Do you feel hungry when you wake up at night and does it help if you eat a little snack? I noticed you take some supplements before sleep but your last meal is at 18:30. Have you tried eating a little (easily digested) snack with the supplements? Like some honey and cheese or milk chocolate?

I'm saying this because some of the supplements (Aspirin to be exact) can stimulate the metabolic rate and if you fast three hours before that plus more than ten hours afterwards, maybe you're running low on fuel during the night and in the early morning).

Thanks for your detailed story and I wish you all the best on your recovery path,

Interesting that they compare it to 2-3x a week and not never. I guess the benefits of 1-3 times a week to never are pretty good as well.

I tried sauna years ago, but it was very stressful to my body. I felt relaxed afterwards, but could never sleep at night (even if the sauna was before midday). Maybe it comes with more time. Steam bath was fine, though.

Lol that's great, was it created by Georgi or done with his permission? Does he know about it and not care?
