I know, I know. Carbs.
Its not really my choice not to eat any carbs at the moment, and it wasn't a choice really. Its the only thing I can do now to address some issues which are not directly related to the metabolism. I am working on the root cause but its going to take some more time. Trying to start carbs now and then, once I will be able to tolerate some, I won't go back to the low carb, ever.
I experience strange dips around 5 PM on many days - sudden drop in body temperature, fatigue, dizziness, low mood. Its very strong, sudden, starts at the same time - 5 PM by the clock, and lasts for about 3-4 hours.
Magnesium or potassium make it much, much much worse. Salt, vitamin A, protein and lots of red light help significantly. Carbs do too, but I have to pay later for eating them. T3 also helps, especially if I don't use it regularly. There is no noticeable drop in the blood sugar - checked via continuous blood glucose monitor.
So, I assume its related to cortisol dips in the evening, and I should try to raise it somehow. But how exactly, when I can't eat all that honey, juice, or even little starch?
Thank you!
