Over the years I look back at my most fit years as a young 27 year old male. During those times I was very active, construction, lifting, hiit training, surfing, etc.. while looking the most shredded version of myself.
Fast forward to slowing down with eating as much ..this year my days have been always at a maintenance calorie count. & my body, mind & mood tanked. “ skinny fat” with low moods
Also, during my peak years I was always on thyroid just to stay optimal & keep my TSH suppressed.
My guess not eating a significant amount daily has shot everything down. My belief is to eat more to burn more to feel your best.
Does anyone have any knowledge on this subject? I may be explaining it wrong but I would assume
Increasing calories will increase metabolism & hormones. Does thyroid hormone medication require a big boost in calories to work properly? At least in the beginning
I’m back on a 90mg of thyroid & still dealing with cold temps & low mood. But, I started to really get my appetite back.. (I started 60mg about
2 weeks ago, now around 90mg)
Still hoping to have better temps, better hair again, & calmer moods
