I came to this ray peat forum about a year ago, with a pretty low appetite. In general I tend to have a low appetite and can get by on very little food. i've never really worried about it until I started having energy issues, and then realized that this could be part of the cause.
Now more recently, after having received an "official" diagnoses of hpa axis dysfunction after blood/saliva lab tests (more specifically an overreactive stress response system that leads to a cycle of high stress/adrenaline energy > crashes) one of the things my doctor prescribed to me for healing is "you must eat every 3 hours" - since the goal is to calm the stress response system, and going without food can be seen as a stressor to the body.
Since i've been more or less doing that, i've noticed that i'm getting more hungry more often. i feel my stomach growling way more frequently (my indicator of when i'm truly hungry) than it did before.
i'm wondering if that's a sign of my metabolism raising? Seems like it would be.
