Normies always were moral fags, they just weren't on the internet or safely contained and locked away on Facebook.

Sugar (required by brain)
Thiamine (required for sugar metabolism)

@Orkneyman_ Honestly fix your metabolism. Coffee gives energy, that is true, but energy is a complex machinery that uses up a lot of nutrients in the process, making deficiencies so much more likely to happen. And then when that deficiency hits no amount of coffee is going to fix that. If you don't build up the reserves then your body can't sustain being energetic.

It takes a lot of energy to gain power, so their metabolism can't be that bad.

Just wanted to give a quick status update, 3 days on Thiamine now:

The reactive hypoglycemia is gone, on the weekend before I started Thiamine it was really bad to a point where I couldn't derive energy from sugar or carbs at all. Since starting I ate potatoes, croissants, drank sugar tea as well as sweets and fruit and all without any crashes. Energy levels are generally higher too.

That said, it seems like the body is slow to adapt to suddenly having Thiamine available. Lots of sudden changes in mood, from being happy, calm and content to angry, to frustrated, to sad. (Beats just being depressed like before though.) I just think it is a big change in the biochemical balance and will take some time to stabilize.

There is basically three reasons why you lose in competition with others:

• You don't like winning enough for your body to provide you the necessary amount of energy.
• You metabolism is shot and can't provide the necessary energy in the first place. Problem solving can fix this.
• Your hardware (brain, body) doesn't have the capability to do the task well enough. Unfixable except for finding a different task you are better at.

Discipline is a placebo, a red herring. If you have the energy and the will then getting closer towards your goals is unavoidable and relentless. Energy can't be contained, it's the energy that moves the body, not the body that moves the energy.

Thanks to you both, it has been very helpful in making sense of it all.

I will try to supplement high dose Thiamine to see if it caused by a deficiency and Nicotinamid to help reduce the FFAs. FFAs seem like a likely culprit due to dealing with stress and high weight.

Further I will try to adjust my diet a bit to include more liver, fruit, eggs and potatoes to help with the other nutrients needed.

I am overweight at 107kg, just below my max of 115kg from 5 years ago. Could this be the cause of the hypoglycemia?

I don't know since when I have had this symptom, my life had been riddled long depressive phases as well as periods of burnout, which really muddied the water about what was hypoglycemia and what was not. Though I do remember that people would mistake me for being stoned in high school, which could have been hypoglycemia as well.

I say reactive hypoglycemia because it is especially noticeable a few hours after eating starch, where it is often so bad I can't do anything else than lying in bed until my body recovers. But there might be a general, chronic element to it as well.

It is causing me massive trouble as an artist, I can find maybe an hour per day where my blood sugar is high enough to work on art. Outside those blessed moments my creativity and dexterity just goes into the drain.

Sorry for all the rambling but this is all very new to me and I would be very grateful to have some tips on how to manage my sugar levels.

You won't find good OJ in countries that don't grow oranges.

My attempts so far didn't work. Higher metabolism means more appetite, means more food, means more fat. Probably great for building muscles, but losing fat is a great mystery that's more complicated than that.

Peat gives many solutions to the concerns of fertility and aging. I think age becomes a non-issue if you guide her to a place where she can control her biochemistry through nutrition.

Same as men in that sense, loss of virility is a health issue, not an aging issue. Older people are just less healthy on average.

@The-Good-Doctor Hmm... some good points.

I already eat a diet devoid of any starches, mostly eating sugar, cheese, milk, dairy and meat, with some onions and mushrooms. I used to also eat fruit, but I stopped doing it after I noticed that they could also have this effect. I am mostly concerned about it because it locks me into a high fat diet, and I have been gaining a lot of weight on it.

The thought that it could be caused by mycotoxins gives hope a bit of hope, because then maybe there is a kind of flour out there that doesn't cause this issue. Especially if I am traveling around there might just be places where I just don't have this issue. I am from Germany by the way, but our flour is probably not that much better.

If it is symbiosis, that would be rather worrisome, as as far I am aware it is very difficult to resolve.

If it is just the high energy demands of the digestion itself then what could be done to reduce the intensity of the crash?

Worship of the great forces of nature is peaty. Doesn't have to be a specific one, the process of worship is the important part, not the specifics of the beliefs.

If I eat carbs I feel pretty good at first but after it has been in my digestion for a few hours I have a sudden energy drop. It seems to happen towards the end of the digestion cycle and I usually have to go to the toilet during this drop.

Different sources have different level of the effect, regular bread is pretty bad, brioche is better. Wholegrain, salad, etc. I have been avoiding for years because even then it didn't do me any good. Potatoes are on a similar level as brioche. I also seem to be able to better digest homemade dough over store bought. The fiber in fruit seems to also trigger this, but sugar can be digested without issue. Refined fruit like jam is also digested without problem.

This is a bit troublesome for me because that means that I can only really eat high fat and thus keep being in swampland, even though I am overweight and should lose fat.

I was wondering if anybody has a explanation for this and if there is a way to solve this issue?
