Do you ever post anything but meaningless one time feeding studies? Eating 60ml of oil decreases vasodilation and increases triglycerides - wow what a revelation.
Lol. Some attitude.

I believe sugar+white rice can cure a slim diabetic but if you are overweight with visceral fat then fasting (or even low carb) is much more effective since it effectively removes visceral fat and increases muscle mass.
I recently did an experiment on myself, where I increased my fasting insulin by 58%, and my fasting blood sugar went right into diabetes range. I did this experiment for about 2 weeks, and had a professional lab test me 2 different times during that 2 week period. You will be surprised to know that the increase did not have anything to do with carbs or fats. The only thing I changed in my diet was taking a teaspoon of food grade diatomaceous earth each day with some water. I was able to get my blood sugar back to normal again once I stopped taking diatomaceous earth.
But it's interesting that this drastic impact on insulin and blood sugars had absolutely nothing to do with food. I don't know if it was due to silica being negatively charged, or because I may have disrupted biofilm with the hard microscopic surface area of diatomaceous earth, thus killing huge amounts of gram negative bacteria. It's also possible that I was chelating endotoxins from other places of the body. I know endotoxins have a negatively charged phosphate group, but I'm not a biochemist.
Wow, that is crazy to hear. I wonder if other people have reported this. There was a time I was not feeling well, and decided to drink a mix of activated charcoal, bentonite, and d.e., the next day I felt like I was hit by a truck and had bags under my eyes. All three are able to chelate nutrients. I usually responded well to them, but this time was really bad... I decided I must be deficient in some mineral at that point, and started focusing on re-mineralizing. I had been drinking distilled water only for about a year then, and not taking any mineral supplements.
This is one reason why I made the recent decision to quit virtually all supplementation.
Denise Minger wrote an excellent article on low fat diets:
In Defense of Low Fat: A Call for Some Evolution of Thought (Part 1)
Thanks for sharing this. Her writing style gets old, but it was a good read and a lot of the studies I was not familiar with. It all matches up pretty well with what I have pieced together too. I am interested to see how my new low-fat diet pans out, it looks like the weight loss can be very dramatic, so I suppose if excess dietary fat is what has been holding back my health then I should be back to my ideal weight in just a matter of a month or 2, since I only need to lose about 10 pounds.
I dunno what to think anymore. There is so much to suggest that low fat is the answer on these forums but my own personal low fat experiment was a disaster. Weight loss maybe, health gains not so much. Not for me anyway trying a low fat diet. FWIW I didn't really lose weight either. Then again I'm an extreme case with a lot of health issues lately. I don't do well on just coconut oil as the fat though. I have been having more balanced fats lately and libido has (somewhat) improved, though it's still low IMO. My libido went to almost nothing when I brought fats down.
You have said before you have a lot of sleep problems, right? That makes everything a lot more difficult. Without good sleep nothing really helps, been there.

You're lucky you've hit the 98s. I'm still 96.5 to 97.5 max. I find it very hard to raise temps. I do however generally feel good. Weight loss is difficult.
What health issues are the most problematic?
Raising temps is easy in my experience. I agree that weight loss is however difficult. The #1 thing to bring up temperatures is just eat...a lot. Lots of protein, lots of carbs, lots of fats, use salt generously etc. I get 99+F sometimes 100F+ easy during the day. Am honestly losing faith that temps and pulses are the key to health as a result. According to RP and others I should be feeling great with my temps... but I don't. While I am trying to limit stimulants, a small amount of caffeine right in the morning can be helpful to get the metabolism humming at 99F ish pretty quickly after waking up,.
However, I WILL say that *waking* temperature and pulse is fairly indicative of health. If I wake up close to 98.6F I'll have a pretty good day.
Fatigue, non-restful sleep, no enthusiasm about stuff, massive weight gain, lack of motivation/drive in life, lack of libido (annoying to me, at one point I was actually killing it in the dating game. Relative to my normal self anyway. Now I have no "game". "Game" is entirely driven by hormones I've found.)

Funny, the only times I wake up with a temp higher than 98 is when I have had poor sleep. When it is deep restful sleep I usually wake up around 97.6 +-.4
