Goals:
-Stabilise endocrine function - less fatigue, more energy
-Regulate mood - alleviate depression/anxiety (improve stress tolerance)
Hopefully can move onto weight loss once the main priorities are settled.
Changes so far:
-3 weeks into RP and mood is becoming much more stable, compared to my low carb days in the past.
-Libido is lower overall but more "steady" rather than constant fluctuations.
-I now sleep a solid 10 hours instead of the previous 6 hours I used to get, but I noticed I have a slightly more sluggish feel opposed to literally leap onto my feet straight from sleep like a commando.
-Hands and feet getting ALOT warmer opposed to the ice cold purple - blue - pink Reynaud's characteristics, used to get some kinda inflammation on my right hand during the winter that felt like little solid lumps on the right hands pinky and ring finger joints.
-Skin looks more plump and is beginning to regain moisture, still not as oily as it has been in the past.
-I still sweat like a fountain regardless of weather (especially armpits), it seems like a sweat slightly less.
-Muscle mass recovering.
-Appetite seems very easy to control, no binge cravings but rather anticipating my next dose of OJ and Cheese
Temperature logs gonna be crude. Ordered some thyroid called "NDT - Thiroyd" - going to start recording temperatures to keep track before starting it.
