Hello everyone. My name is Yelka. I’m 57 years old, 5’4” and 110 lbs I’ve been thin-boned all my life. I have Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism.
Two years ago I got a strong episode of bell’s palsy from being so over stressed, malnourished, and undernourished that I got down to 101 lbs and lost my hair in clumps.
I’ve been following Ray Peat’s recommendations since I discovered his work about a year ago. I also found the old forum and I eagerly read Rinse & Repeat’s posts. I was reviewing those posts yesterday when I came across a link to this site, and here I am!
I’m still working on finding the best way to eat for me. I feel famished and drained when I don’t eat starches. Coffee makes me jittery.
Since starting eating this way, I noticed loss of muscle and an increase in subcutaneous fat accumulation and an increase of my waist to hip ratio.
First I blamed it on the fat from my raw milk. I went low fat. Now I think it might be the starches and the fat. Probably high cortisol and not sleeping through the night.
Anyway, perceive, think, act.
I look forward to sharing my journey with you guys.
