I tend to be a minimalist when it comes to my weekday diets (because work) so I am always trying to tweak it to cover all my nutritional bases without spending too much time on preparation.
I have been experimenting with the majority of calories from milk for a while and went ok but became expensive because I am in Asia. So I reduced the amount and added casein protein powder to complement (one high in calcium). I noticed an improvement in temperature doing this.
I now just experimented a short period with the majority of calories from orange juice instead and this is where I hit the wall.
I do not know what makes it different from milk but I get adrenaline symptoms from too much OJ when consuming little other solid foods, even when consuming enough calories. Cold hands and feet, brain fog and a general shitty feeling.
Example, the other day I had 4 cups of OJ, 1 cup Chocolate and then ate 1kg Papaya and got a really shitty feeling. Urine completely clear, refractometer shows overhydrated.
How do you guys manage this type of diet that's mostly liquid for some? From my experience, it doesn't seem very natural for the body.
How come Ray Peat even recommend this, like judging from Matt Stones writings as well it seems like many people have problems with blood volume.
I am now considering switching to milk with lots of honey and casein protein powder as the bulk of calories.
