I’m trying to understand insulin sensitive Vs resistant. I’m on the underweight side , not overweight. My desire for sugar is insanely high. I’ve started to make strides after keeping my carb :protein ratio at like 8:1.
When I eat sugar I get leaner and more muscular. I get vascular, can maintain weight, and get round muscle bellies when I eat sugar. I don’t get fat or feel lousy. Persistent dry mouth hypokalemja feeling , where I reallly can only handle 2-4oz protein per meal or the insulin response is too strong.
Why can this craving not be dimmed? It’s too much and I’m so catabolic unless I eat absurd amounts of sugar and carbs. B1 tends to increase my need for sugar too much, even tho a b vitamin defeceit may be ironically driving the need for all the sugar? I may try low dose of the other b vitamins to see how they fare.
I’m not retaining electrolytes. If I drink even 1 sip of plain water I have to go pre and it’s way too crystal clear. It seems I could get better if I didn’t have to do anything and had the money to just sit home and eat and drink whatver I want all day lol.
This is following tamoxifen use, botched steroid cycle. Hormones tanked badly and estrogen went really high. Cell damage. Liver can’t hold glycogen. I feel great and replete for like 1 hour post meal and then addrenaline turns on and I start getting so frail by the minute until I eat.
I’m eating like 150g carbs/sugar per meal and 20g protein and 10g fat.
Fixed a lot of my long lasting problems, especially w the macro adjustments, but I just can’t seem to be able to not need huge amounts of sugar
