I don't think I drink that much liquids usually, maybe half a liter of OJ, half a liter of coke (with real sugar), and half a liter of skim milk. Or do people here drink even less than that..?

Has anyone else noticed a connection between water retention and low body temp?

It's summer and very hot inside and I've also been spending time in the midday sun, but when I actually measure my temps they are often very low. Even though I'm sweating and feeling hot.

This seems to coincide with higher water retention; I can see it on the scale and it always causes lower back pain.

What would be good to try for

• increasing temps
• reducing water retention

I have experiment with T3 but can't seem to get consistent results. Salt does seem to work sometimes, but I have to eat more of it than I feel like eating.

My energy levels and mood are pretty good so this low body temp is confusing.

Glad to see you've joined the forum, haidut!

@hypercashoidism said in Peaty bread alternatives?:

@revenant isn’t corn pretty metabolically bad though? afaik the main reason high fructose corn syrup is terrible is that the small amounts of corn which aren’t processed out, and this would have much larger amounts

i wonder if there’s an alternative to cornmeal in this recipe, it sounds good otherwise

I don't know why corn would be metabolically bad. Nixtamalized would be best, but even without it it's a staple in many countries.

Cassava flour (as used by Brad Marshall) would work also but it's not readily available where I live.

@zawisza

Yeah, but how were they taken? Importing the posts into something resembling a forum would make it easier to use.

If the forum comes back online, how would one take a backup of it?

I've been making arepas lately, they are super simple to make. Mix harina de maiz (cornmeal), water and salt. Wait 5 minutes. Form into thick pancakes and fry on the pan.

No gluten and low in protein. I find it more easily digestible than breads (including sourdough).

Amphetamines, cocaine, selegiline. Sometimes plain old coffee. The "serotonin depletion stack" of L-phenylalanine + BCAAs from RPF works sometimes.

Often I think I found something amazing and then the effect is not reproducible.

The database is going through a solar flare-related detox event but will return in a more glorious form.

While this is great, it would be even better if the posts could be imported onto a new forum. Like a carbon copy of the old forum.

There was some archive .zip file that was over a gigabyte, the current .csv file is 700 MB, I wonder if someone has the original still?

And now the forum is down.

Both methionine and cysteine are used by the body to grow hair. I wonder if going very low would result in hair loss. How are the met/cys-restricted rodents looking in terms of fur?

These last days since your message I have noticed a lot more hairs in my sink and I couldn't attribute it to anything else than my diet change.

So today i had the first normal protein day for the first time in like 10 days. And I already notice less hair loss, so there seems to to be a connection.

That is a bit worrying, although I would think lack of those amino acids would not necessarily result in increased shedding but thinner/slower hair growth.

FWIW, I did a high-protein diet for 3 months and then low-protein for 3 months and my hair seemed to grow longer than normal on the high-protein diet and slowed down on the low-protein diet. But the high-protein diet caused weight gain also.

Poor charlie must be shitting his pants now, since he's been advocating niacin on RPF as the greatest thing since sliced, niacin-free bread with its "500 detox pathways". I wonder what Garrett Smith's reply will be.

Meanwhile, I have started small doses of niacin again, after being scared off of a 500 mg dose that gave an insane flush many years ago. Feels like it might have some positive effects.
