Also still wonder how big factor in my hypothyroidsm case was undereating. After all my first big crash was not after taking and stopping steroids, but after doing stupid low cal bodybuidling cut and even after that because of my gut issues=food group restrictions I was never eating 3000kcal or more consistently even during my crazy cycling days. Constantly doing calorie deficit, but I think because my metabolism was so fucked I didn't lose weight like normal person with healthy metabolism would lose.. So Because I kept my weight(muscles) I always brushed off not eating enough.. Another interesting observation how I treat food. Basically always licking the plates. Like I never see that in other people. They leave bunch of food on a plate all the time and they don't care. Like I see all you guys here talking about "not eat much" or fasting this fasting that. It is so printed into my fucking head. Eating 2000kcal or whatever and wondering why I am fucking cold all the time. Like because of metal toxicity, some fucked up chemistry or just because I am so brainwashed that I simply don't eat enough.. Basically decades of chronic undereating and the body adapted to that. Here and there eating calorie excess will do nothing. It takes long time refeeding before really the body starts to wasting energy by heat production etc.. This is vicious circle for me. Always realize this, say that I will eat at least 3000kcal a day and see what happens, but I do that for couple of days and next thing I know I am eating around 2000kcal again because I have fear of so much food that I eat nothing but lean meat and rice and so even if you eat decent amount of food it is nothing in terms of calories in comparison with diet of "normal" people where they eat here and there some processed junk in form of snack or whatever and easily hit their calories or actually in most cases over their calories that's why is majority of people fat right..
So this is the chicken or the egg situation. Yeah I am fixing some problem with restrictive diet, but after decades of doing it maybe it does more harm than good..
They mention how in refeeding people get so much symptoms of all kinds from bloating, gas, skin issues, crazy water retention etc.. and it takes weeks or months to get the body start using all that food and function normally again. But I never pushed trough that period. Most people who are fucked up and used to starve never do. They eat one thing they don't eat normally get some symptom and they turn around and stop eating it again. Ther restrict even more probably after that..
