My joints, blood vessles, skin. I aged like 20 years in couple of months.. I have spider veins, one large vein on my leg was removed etc.. I was 27 Btw..
Yeah, when I read you saying this, you were basically describing some of my conditions. I didn't remove my large vein on my left leg, even though is very salient (varicose vein). Now I am also starting to have on in my right leg. It's curious that my father started to have them too at very young age.
Hi when I look at your symptoms you are like me basically.. 1400-1800 kcal for 26 yo male 180cm is very low.. How you expect to get better if you barely eat calories to sustain basal metabolism?? You should eat at least 2000-2500 if you are not active. I like this forum, but this calorie restriction is crazy. It does not work. It works in lab or for stress free monks in the mountains.. The less you eat the more hypothyroid, fatigued you will be. Everything will slow down and you will feel more and more like shit.. What are you subscribe when watching films etc.. It is zero stress tolerance. I had this during playing pc games. Almost heart attacks.. It is stressed and fatigued body. I thing from heavy metals including copper and if you eat crazy low diet, then you have zero chance to get better.
It's not that I do not agree with you, I also think I could be potentially under eating. However, I think you are misinterpreting things and that's not what is happening here.
No one here on this forum said to me to do calorie restriction. Actually, you will find people eating a lot more than me here.
This has been a diet I have found that makes me function and do the basic things. And man, you don't know how much I tried to find the foods that would suit better for my digestion.
But it's not I didn't have digestive issues even when I was eating "normally" long long time ago (dairy, gluten, etc). And, yes, I would weight more, but I wasn't doing shit also and even less than now.
When I went to my first alternative medicine consultation it was when I lost a ton of kilos and loss appetite. Mostly because they removed tons of foods (gluten, dairy, etc) and said to start eating more nuts and such. You probably know how it works. But, I literally didn't know what to eat. Of course, foods like dairy and bread are addicting and easier to make you eat more. Probably one of the reasons I loss appetite also.
Then I did intermittent fasting and there it was when my appetite was reduced to almost zero. Of course, I did it wrong, I didn't know what I was doing. I just wanted to not be fatigued all the time, sleeping and be able to study for college.
Then, I did High Carb in this was what kinda screwed me up even more. I did an almost frutarian-low protein diet (I would still eat eggs and fish). I was definitely eating more calories there.
And you are right about video games. Man, I really can't play them right now. I mean, puzzle/mind games are fine. Action games, not at all. BUT, the thing is, even before all this, I was always a very stressed and anxious person when playing them. Even when I was eating tons of calories back then as a kid.
To eat more, I think having more meals would definitely help me, but my circadian rhythm got completely shitty after that High Carb, because I wouldn't fall asleep at all. Too much energy, didn't know where to use it.
I want to manage to eat more calories if I see it helps me. Still don't know if that is the missing key though... Otherwise I wouldn't be here and, in the past, I would't have all the same symptoms even eating all those addictive foods and probably +3000 Kcal per day.
I can say also that I if I put a little of milk in my mouth, my appetite sky rockets immediately. But the side effects, man, they were already very bad when I was young, but now they are much worse, which is expected I suppose.
I am still in the opinion that one should find what works better at the moment and slowly trying to figure out ways to improve, recognizing how the things you are doing effect you. Gathering some information here and there and build your own data. Self experimentation and self awareness.
What sounds really nice on paper can be the complete opposite when experimenting it in your body. And you probably already know that pretty well too.
