How are you @javin
I've been well! :)
I read two books by Matt Stone this week. "Eat for Heat" and "Diet Recovery: Restoring Hormonal Health, Metabolism, Mood, and Your Relationship with Food".
Both were insightful and fun to read. My main takeaway was to consume less liquids to the point where your pee is always yellow (concentrated). You don't want to dilute your extracellular fluids. Consuming less liquids and eating more salt has definitely kept me more warm this week. A lot of Peat followers think it's fine and dandy to consume massive amounts of milk and OJ, but all that liquid would definitely cool you down a bit. I think it's better to drink only when you're thirsty.
A cool quote from "Eat for Heat":
"But, bless us, we're humans after all. We have these big brains that can do some neat things, but leave it to us to do something as stupid as drink when we're not thirsty. No other creature does this. No other creature is so removed from its own instinctual programming to the point of accidentally overdrinking."
