Over the last couple of years I've had this experience where I feel great out of nowhere. It usually lasts about 3 days to a week. Now I feel I can achieve this with keto but that comes with hangriness, bordem and potential negative health consequences down the line.
For example.. a few months back, life was no better or worse than it has been, yet out of nowhere I felt great. Just going about my usual business totally content, calm, clear minded. Just generally feeling good. I wondered why it was happening. 90% of my life I dont feel these things. Lasted about 4 days. This has happened maybe 2 or 3 times over the last two years.
More recently I jumped into keto and IF again for a couple of days. The second or third day I was feeling pretty hungry so I said, f it I'm getting dominos. I remember I got a pretty puffy face after this. The next day I got another. Just one pizza was all I ate that day. I also didn't drink much water. Just a bit of water or a glass of juice after walking my dog out in the Florida heat. So somewhere around that second pizza the feeling came back but not only did I feel great, I looked great. My skin looked great, my wrinkles diminished. It was like a was flushed and something was pushing out my skin and making it tighter. This wasn't like water retention puffiness. I looked like 5 years younger. Also I'm a pretty lean guy and for the last two or three months I'd been Peating and got a super bloated stomach. I'd been walking around like I'm pregnant. This also disappeared. I felt like I had been given a gift from god. I was eating nothing but pizza. I was even having a few drinks at night and my stomach was flat, skin was great, felt great. This one lasted a solid week. Then ended and felt shitty ever since. Wrinkles are back, huge bloated stomach is back.
I think I heard peat saying cortisol makes you feel good for a while but then makes you depressed. Which is exactly what I have been experiencing.
My question is, why does this only happen once in a blue moon for me? Like, I'm stressed often so shouldn't be getting cortisol and feeling this way regularly? I thought cortisol came in when you're run down or stressed. The more stress I get the worse I feel.
Any thoughts guys? I'd really like to get whatever happened to me to happen again lol.
