The reason I ask is I have been following a Ray Peat inspired diet for about a year now and I am still not warming up.
I was consuming: 3 Quarts of Skim Milk, 6 Quarts of OJ, eating a raw carrot daily, eating a pound or half pound of shrimp a week, and supplementing with Thyroid etc.., yet I was still pretty freaking cold no matter what I did. That comes out to about 4000 Calories and I was maintaining weight even though I was working out and trying to gain weight.
I am a 23 year old male and have never really been able to gain weight, I am 6'1 and maintain a weight of about 165-170.
I think I am going to stop drinking so much liquids and eat more solid food. I tried potatoes for my first time "breaking" my super strict Peat diet and it warmed me up pretty well. I did consume some fruits with it in order to balance out the glucose/fructose ratios.
TLDR; What warms you up best?
