Hello!
I am a 20-year-old female that has been learning and trying slowly to understand how to help my metabolism.
Right now my weight is 203lbs and my height is 5'10. I have been conflicted with my body image as I feel as though I have a mom bod, although I do know health overall is a better standard to focus on especially, considering I have been at a lower weight while on the extreme of a raw high-fat high meat diet, eating omad, pretty much the complete opposite.
I have really only read "How to heal your metabolism" by Kate Deering, and have yet to really dive into the deeper information and would really love to.
I would appreciate where to start as I know it is a lifetime journey of fixing and adjusting the best way possible to be healthy, and because of that the surface level information has not really given me the slap I need to truly trust the process, I've recently have had thoughts of going on fast just to lose weight due to being unhappy right now with how I look as, due to my extreme 180 and winging it I've gained about 40lbs ( it is not fully ray peat, to be honest, it is stress eating due to covid as well in the beginning).
I have set goals to be aware of which is my sleep quality, temperatures, and pulse and from a basic scale knowing those measure important factors, yet being so young I feel and understand part of me gets a bit naive with everything as in getting away with fasting and so on, and knowing that I want to work on counteracting those thoughts with facts.
I would love to hear, read or look into what you guys would recommend on where to start or functions to look into, to help me get the full picture.
The biggest reason why losing weight is on my mind is due to being highly family-minded, and knowing as a female youth is a great advantage to use, however, I do notice being at such a high weight lowers my attractiveness(not that, that is everything but is the first thing) and just, in general, I think many of us would love to look our best, it been really fun to try to figure things out, yet I feel lost and wanted to reach out for help.
I don't necessarily want to get into supplements at the moment, just simply due to the fact that I want consistency with my diet and lifestyle before I go spending money on something I don't completely understand, especially not knowing my blood test to be able to measure it outside of my feelings and so on.
I feel extremely open to you guys giving me complete transparency on your thoughts and opinions, as outside of here I do not many people to understand where I am coming from.
Thank you to whoever reads this.
I feel excited and ready to hear your thoughts.
