Hello there,
I know in advance this isnt necessarily "peaty" but I'm beyond baffled at this considering I have a good indicator as to what's up with my body.
I'm currently dieting close to 10% finally, around 190 lbs now 6"0. I purchased t3 and I've used it before in smaller doses recommended by peat himself.
This time around I increased my dose to around 50mg a day since I'm close to where I want to be body fat wise and my body is retaining alot of water mostly in my face and chest. Any idea why t3 would cause this? My liver heath is good. I've heard of elevated t3 levels causing higher estrogen? Could explain the retaining water aspect but if anything all the other symptoms point to lower estrogen (skin's dry, joints crack nonstop, 0 appetite and no emotions/dull). So I actually suspect this is due to cortisol or even aldosterone.
Does or has anyone experienced this? Super discouraging. I will starting today lower the dose to 25 mcg a day and see if the water comes off but I woke up around 196 when I was hovering around 189-190 for a week and a bit now. Diet wise on point, so no I didnt eat alot of carbs, or salt. Regular bowel movements.
