After being on «paleo»
diet for more than one year, and working out a few times a week (but
not that intensely), I’m at 15% bodyfat, mostly in my middle body
area like my hips and lower stomach.
This tells me there’s probably something going
on with my hormones, which is why I ordered a hormone panel test kit.
I will share the results when I get them.
Some other reasons I wanted to do the test is
because I feel my libido and energy levels aren’t great.
I also decided to do a full month when I will eat
a few portion of healthy starch and fruits. I started a few days ago
and the results are some bowel movement problems and some stomach
ache. I’ll keep it up for 1 full month because I read in an article
that most hunter
gatherer tribes had at least one source of starchy vedgetable or
fruit in the heart of their diet. Some tribes even considered the
reserve of food to be empty when the starch rations were gone even
though they had plenty of meat.
In another article I read that eating low carb for
a long period of time can cause problems with cortisol and thyriod
function. I never ate very low carb, always 100 grams or more of
vedgetables everyday but still, I am on a plateau with my fat loss
and health so I want to try new things. As Enstein said “The
definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again
and expecting different results”.
I also discovered that I can buy a Blood Glucose
Wrist Watch from Royal Medical in San Francisco (Medical Supply
Store). I will be going there on Thursday to buy it because I am on a
trip to Denver right now.
