I would say its probably 40-50 carbAparently you were saying the composition of the macros in the milk you buy...
If so how is your composition ratio of macros, carb/ protein/ fat you eat?
Your cells won’t divide for no reason though... you only make new cells when you need to no matter how much energy you take in.One of the reasons is: they think cells have a limit in how many times they can divide/ duplicate/ reproduce
When you have a deranged metabolism your body will start cell proliferation without differentiation; unnecessarily and possibly dangerouslyYour cells won’t divide for no reason though... you only make new cells when you need to no matter how much energy you take in.
Top kekMaybe OP is actually Cirion making his comeback?
Possibly. I’m not buying into that though. The human body is smarter than any “scientist” opinion.When you have a deranged metabolism your body will start cell proliferation without differentiation; unnecessarily and possibly dangerously
One example of what I said: Cancer.Possibly. I’m not buying into that though. The human body is smarter than any “scientist” opinion.
Different view, even in the deranged metabolism aspect?I have a different view on cancer. It doesn’t fit the belief of “uncontrolled cell division”.

I’m not 100% healthy because I suffered a lot of catabolism from 14-17 from some diets to lose the little bit of fat I had like intermittent fasting, and the worst was when I followed the Snake Diet. when I was 17 and I ended up 40-60 pounds underweight because when you lose weight you don’t realize how skinny you really are. I just turned 18 so I guess I’m restoring/growing right now. I do have some excess fat which I am hoping will come off eventually but its not a bad tradeoff for everything else I get to experience.
Ok that explains much. 18 is still insanely young. You're basically a child still. No wonder you're capable of eating that much. At 18, I was playing basketball and eating 5000kcal+ everyday (wasn't counting) and couldn't gain any weight to save my life. Fast forward 10 years, things are not the same lol.
I'm betting you'll get much better. Keep getting sunshine, eating lots of food and sleeping well, you'll get very healthy. And if you learn anything from Ray and this forum, you won't have to suffer through your 20s like many of us did, ping-ponging between different diets and letting stress ravage our bodies.
Eat good food, drink milk, get some sunshine, and focus on being happy, and you'll stay youthful and healthy all your life. I so wish I knew at 18 what I know now.
I appreciate the advice. What you describe sounds like the good life. Drinking A2 milk in the southern sun all day with some good music, haha. We can probably live till 200 chilling like that.
Can you explain what you have heard about metabolic health being passed on between generations?It's not complicated, we make it complicated. Avoiding stress, maximizing enjoyment and eating a lot of good food is key. Sunshine and milk are so basic but so fundamentally anti-stress. We might not live till 200 but if humans were to do that for many successive generations, eventually our children would inherit great metabolic function, health and longevity.
I am eating 8,000+ calories per day and feeling better than ever before. Is this unhealthy long term?
If you're feeling better eating that much then it sounds like you need it. I'm wondering if you became a bit hypothyroid from the fasting and weightloss. Your experience reminds me of when Ray needed 8000 calories daily until he started taking thyroid:I’m not 100% healthy because I suffered a lot of catabolism from 14-17 from some diets to lose the little bit of fat I had like intermittent fasting, and the worst was when I followed the Snake Diet. when I was 17 and I ended up 40-60 pounds underweight because when you lose weight you don’t realize how skinny you really are.

Then something interesting: can someone with 37,3º to 37,5 C and 85 bpm, with great ankle test results, no/ barely gas, great bowel movements and every time he eats lots of foods, consume more than 7000 kcal is almost irrelevant if he is sedentary or active in his weight change; is possible he don't possess optimal thyroid function?If you're feeling better eating that much then it sounds like you need it. I'm wondering if you became a bit hypothyroid from the fasting and weightloss. Your experience reminds me of when Ray needed 8000 calories daily until he started taking thyroid:
"[on high metabolic rate - very high temps and pulse - which is a result of low thyroid] About your high metabolic rate and high temperature: In my teens and twenties, I needed about 8000 calories per day when I was physically active, about 4000 to 5000 when I was sedentary, but after I took thyroid, I needed only about half as many calories. Thyroid is the basic regulator of blood glucose, and it causes it to be fully oxidized for energy, so that it produces ATP efficiently, on relatively few calories. If blood glucose falls, because it's being used very quickly, the body responds with stress hormones, including glucagon, adrenalin, and cortisol. They cause fat and protein to be burned for energy, while in hypothyroidism, glucose can still be used inefficiently for glycolysis, producing lactic acid, displacing bicarbonate and carbon dioxide. This causes mineral imbalances, with effects including cramps and nerve-muscle tension, which produce heat and waste energy. When you first start taking thyroid again, your tissues will need some extra magnesium, during the time when the dose is increasing, and when the mineral balance is restored your temperature and metabolic rate might decrease a little. Orange juice, milk, and coffee are good for the main minerals, while salting your food to taste." Ray Peat

Truly happy you are feeling great!Wow thats so good that you start geining weight . I have the same problem, drinking milk (with collagen/gelatin) with every meal and after (as an example) yard work. And yes yes not the best option but chips helped me a lot. I finally starting to get a little weight on. My pants are fitting better, a bit curvier but not really "fat"
Because i'm eating better it also helps with my mental state, not that I was depressed or down but I can honestly say I feel really good. Yesterday I was thinking that last week flent by, my energy levels are getting up. .
