I'm on Day 12, I believe, of this Ray Peat inspired diet. I've been reading for the longest time that potatoes are OK on this diet. Not OK for me. In fact, nothing I've consumed on this diet so far as made me feel worse. Not only do the potatoes make me feel like I have some foreign bacteria attached to my stomach and intestines, but my body temperate also plummets. I've been measuring my temperature non-stop since I began this diet. I really like what I've been seeing and experiencing, aside from the potatoes.
Last time I consumed potatoes: before the meal 98.2 degrees (which is very high for me -- usually in the 97's), and a few hours later, 96.8, freezing cold hands, feet and nose. Had to turn the heat up to 74 and wrap myself in a blanket to feel normal. About a half hour later of wrapping myself up like a mummy, I was 97.7. That was my dinner last night, and I still haven't got past 97.7 today. I can't believe how badly the potatoes stressed my body.
Lesson learned. Does anyone else have these kinds of reactions with potatoes? I had white rice too, and had minimal if any, negative reaction. Potatoes were like poison though.
Oh, and as a side note, the food that raises my body temp faster than anything else I've eaten? Turkey Hill Natural Chocolate Ice Cream. 4 Ingredients: Cream, Skim Milk, Sugar, Cocoa. Shoots my body temp up like I just took thyroid or something, lol. Very interesting, considering it's a cold food. You'd think it would cool my body, but not so.
