Health Journal and Paleo/Matt Stone High Carb Paleo "Please Help"

[Boracay]

Weds Dec 22,

History

Hormone Imbalance
Low Libido
Easy Fat gain

Had ED for 5 years Improved dramatically  Paleo Low Carb along with other issues.

Went back to Semi Paleo- I eat dark chocolate, drink a few beers with friends sometimes and eat rice thanks to my filipina girlfriend.

Read Matt Stone 180 degree and read some others and I read low carb causes other health issues like vitamin c problems and kidney stones and I had low thyroid functions after. Higher carb helps with those issues but my ED is back and 20 pounds of weight gain and I felt better on low carb paleo but I love sweet potatoes with butter and rice and things..

I need advice is this my new health journal.
I would like to correct my issues.

Tone down the sexual frequency.

Try once every 4 to 5 days.

Go back to what made you feel great.

You don't have to be high everything diet every single day.

If you are 100% raw then instincto may suit you.  I am somewhat instincto.  But Iguana and GCB are the experts in that flavor of raw paleo diet.

It made me feel good but it couldn't be healthy. I was consuming about 1800 calories a day which is to low right? Vander and Matt Stone are all about High Everything Diet and it would be fine if I was okay with being fat till my thyroid and adrenal grands heal. Its not a good look for me and I feel ALOT of social anxiety when I am like that I can walk out in public make millions of friends when I have a decent body. I am totally confused.

I'm confused too.

I do not contend to know anything for certain, and I've not tried Matt Stone's approach, but his logic in absolute terms (i.e. out of specific context and case history) seems contrary to other proven studies about metabolism in the animal kingdom:

faster metabolisms = shorter lifespans
cooler body temperatures (not including reptiles) = longer lifespans

So, I'm not motivated to try to raise my body temperature or metabolism at this point.

If you're searching for better equilibrium to your well being have you tried fasting periodically?  My direct experience is that fasting helps in a number of ways; and, I can also say factually that if my body temperature is a proxy for my metabolism then fasting does not permanently lower metabolism, as I've seen reported elsewhere.  Fasting and raw foods are pretty powerful combination and good enough for athletic endeavors, so you don't have to worry if you are concerned about physical performance or body appearance.

Hope this helps suggest you have other options to consider if you haven't already.
