Hey everybody this is my first post on the forum. I have been trying to follow a Ray Peat style diet for the past few weeks however I am having some problems. Average morning temp and pulse for me is 97.6/63BPM. My temperature rises to a normal level of about 98.6 or higher in the afternoon (There have been times when I hit 99.8 and other very high temps after a meal) however my pulse is always really low. On a good day I can get it up to 80 however it usually sits at 60 to mid 70's all day. My hands and feet are almost always cold. I can tolerate very little fluid or my temperature drops. Because the Ray Peat diet is mostly fluids this is a big problem and I can never get enough calories. I cant take thyroid meds because I doubt im truely hypothyroid and im only 17. Ive read about many people on the forum with a high pulse and low temps but none with a low pulse and average/high temps. My libido is low probaly because of the calorie restriction and I have very little energy for exercising. If I can't get my pulse up I will probaly try Matt Stones approach from 180degreehealth which I don't consider optimal but getting adequate calories is the most important thing right now. Anybody know what could increase pulse? Aspirin? Salt? Have any of you had problems with the high fluid intake? Did adding more salt help? Thanks everyone :)
