Hi all,
I’m coming to this higher carb/metabolic way of eating from low carb/keto. Initially on low carb I felt great, but as several months went by, I began experiencing symptoms of adrenal fatigue, electrolyte imbalance and Cushing’s syndrome.
After reading Ray Peats work, I foolishly went all in and reintroduced a relatively large amount of carbs back into my diet. I gained ~10lbs of fat and water weight, but I initially felt amazing with really high energy after meals. After a few weeks however, im finding that I get really sleepy/ tired after meals. Sometimes its so bad I have no choice but to just pass out. I’ve experimented with carb/protein ratios, fats, etc, but I haven’t figured out how to get back to the kind of energy that carbs gave me when I first transitioned.
Insulin resistance due a vitamin deficiency induced by the increased metabolism/ glucose metabolism? Thats the only mechanism I found that could explain the initial energy surge followed by carb intolerance...
I eat a lot of beef liver (maked me feel euphoric), and I began taking B1/Mg, but it hasn't change to much.
Any thoughts are really appreciated!
