I changed my diet drastically about 3 weeks ago after reading some of Matt Stones stuff. I basically went from eating paleoish to eating lots of everything including a ton of sugar.
I was probably eating 8,000 calories per day when I first started. I didn't seem any big improvements with cold hands , but I did see a slight improvement with sleep troubles, unless it was just by chance.
Basically I went from waking up around 2:30 or 3:00am to not waking up till around 4 or 4:30am.
Then about 5 days ago I started to move more toward Peat (more fruit, milk and gelatin, etc).
The last few nights I have been waking up at 2am and really needing to go pee (typical before I started eating a lot more).
At first I thought it was because of the increased fluid intake from juice and milk but then I realized it's really not that much, maybe a couple glasses of juice with salt and a couple glasses of milk with sugar and salt throughout the day.
And when I was eating Stone style I would feel really thirsty before bed and would drink a glass of gatorade with added salt and I was amazed that I didn't have to pee at 2am.
Yesterday the last thing I had to drink was a glass of milk with salt, sugar and gelatin at 5pm.
I'm wondering now if I was sleeping a little better eating Stone style because of all the extra processed sugar calories.
I already use a ton of salt on my food and drink and still do so I don't see that playing a factor in anything.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I will say that it seems that I have to be really careful with the sugar before bedtime as it definitely makes it hard for me to fall asleep if I have to much.
I don't know if it's related or not but my temp is nowhere optimal. It's gotten slightly better over the past few weeks but waking temp is still around 98.6 and bedtime is between 97 and 97.5
