Nina, do you have jaundice? and have you tested bilirubin?

Only when i had mono diagnosis for the first time, my bilirubin was higher than normal back then

 

[Nina]

Pretty bad DOMS from leg day yesterday. Having some carb cravings right now trying to fight them lol. The extra potassium im taking makes me feel kind of sleepy

@Helen is it normal for slow oxidizer to get panic feelings when eating foods high in calcium? I had 1L of almond milk and had panick attack feeling for hours after. Same happens when i eat dairy

-As a fatter kid, I had TONS OF MILK and cheese (but was also taller than most until 14. Maybe early puberty? WHO knows).
-Also lactose intolerant, so usually I spit it out nowadays.
-Panic attacks ALL THE FKN TIME as a kid. When I got skinnier........ brutally worse. Lot better now mostly. Occasionally I destroy a wall, fridge, house, or a group of ruffians. Sometimes I burn down a forest (more rarely), but I'm not gonna anymore.
-I think when I was slower (in the mind also), I panicked a lot. Could just be other things. But there are no coincidences.
-Faster and older for me worse and worse. NOT saying that will be true of you at all, I doubt it. YOU seem pretty calm. I think we aren't sup to drink milk... whether fast or slow. Arnold Schwarzenneger said it's for babies (but he has godlike bodybuilding genetics... so he could probably do whatever).

Just gonna lower my calcium intake for now, just meat and eggs

So today was upperbody day @gym. Been feeling kinda weak since starting keto. Threw my pre-workout in the garbage though, drank a sugarfree redbull before my workout to get some energy. Not sure if im in ketosis yet, today is day 3 so i’ll probably be in ketosis today or tomorrow.

Also did some cardio at the gym btw, couldn’t really do HIIT though. No explosiveness. Did some low intensity work on bike.

On keto you will struggle doing HIIT. You need carbs doing so. But why are you doing HIIT when you are in CFS state?
Of course, its up to you. Good luck! Best

Because the less active i am, the worse i feel. Also pretty sure my chronic fatigue is a bullshit diagnosis by a doctor who doesn’t know what else to tell me

 

[Nina]

how much salt and water do u eat/drink per day?
how many hours do you train on the days u workout?
how many days per week do u train?

I salt my food to taste + amount of sodium thats already in food. I workout at the gym for almost 2 hours 4 times a week right now. Mostly weight lifting and some cardio. I try to run 10k twice a week on rest days.

2 hours for 4 times a week is a lot. Especially if you lift heavy. Do you?

If you do I would do faster workouts with less rest for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Especially for a woman. Women are not made for hard labor as much as men. Whether you like it or not.

Also try the electrolyte protocol by Helen. I have so much energy right now. I feel like a kid. I am not kidding. Since I added in the magnesium and potassium in high dosage before bed I feel high energy all day. I do not use caffeine. Caffeine makes me more tired. In the beginning it is stimulating. Eventually it just makes me tired and demotivated.

I also eat 500g+ of red meat everyday. I do not care what people say. Red meat is the best protein source for me. I get strong on it and I feel great. Main carbohydrate source is white rice and honey. I do not eat a lot of vegetables. Sometimes a fruit.

Anyways good luck.

@Helen @mattyb

Is there any specific way to see whether you have the mutation that would result in a poor handling of EBV? Is it a genetic mutation?

 

[Maxin]

that is what I am saying, nitric oxide goes down, boom, you get herpes. Funny that people take lysine for herpes. They mix the outbreak with the virus replication.

You can always do liver flushes and also add ozone. that should help

In my case, i constantly had herpes outbreaks growing up. Then I take ssri, and bam I’m full blown chronic fatigue. Ebv titers super high. But in 10 years with cfs, only two cold sores. Both times I noticed major improvements in my chronic fatigue. Almost like immune system is not even fighting the ebv viral load.

*by herpes I mean cold sores. Which is the hhv6 virus I thought?

Well i love working out and for a young girl like me, its definitely not too much. Potassium/magnesium make me tired. What works for you doesn’t work for everyone.

Lift heavy for 1hr 15 min, do 30mins cardio, shower, go home = 2 hours

 

[Nina]

so thats about 10 hours of workout per week with 1 day of total rest per week, right? are u preparing yourself for some kind of competition?

if i was you I would take 2- 3 days completely off exercise and only walk in nature as a form of exercise on off days... ur body needs to heal between workouts(u could try one day workout, with one day TOTALLY OFF, just walk in nature/beach on off days)... i almost died from not eating/drinking enough carbs, calories, water and salt while training 20- 30 hours per week... and as a cherry on top of cake, from an emotional shock/trauma (loss of a loved one)...not a good combo... if I could go back I would take 2- 3 days OFF per week... your liver can take so much

there is really no sodium in NATURAL UNPROCESSED foods.

did you know that through 1 hour of exercise one can lose from 1/2 to 1 tsp. of salt

keto is not for exercising people (my easy 300m runs on keto went from 45 seconds to 63 seconds)

exercising people should drink about 1 ounce of water per body weight(e.g. 100lb person needs to drink 100 oz of water per day, for each quart mix in 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of sea salt)

amaranth is packed with minerals and carbs

I dont feel good on carbs so i do keto. Also working out makes me feel better, not worse.

May as well use the energy when you can. If you're young, fit, and into sports... I don't see anything wrong with 10h a week. I did like 15-20+ hours a week in early 20's (too much). And ditto for carbs, although I am definitely stronger when I sometimes eat a lot of carbs, or eat a banana or berries pre workout.

Yeah i agree. I like working out so why limit myself when i feel fine doing it

 

[Aleksandr]

It is so interconnected that to raise metabolism you need to support everything in my opinion.

How about we buy bulk all aminos, all vitamins, all minerals, then put them in a bath roughly at the ratios of RDIs (but not the total figure just thosands and thousands times the rdi), and just bathe in a swamp of nutrients all day and obsorb them all through our skin? It seems like we're all just depleted. Maybe this is the future, we walk around in nutrient fish tank suits for most of the day....

Maybe you should have more magnesium based on your hair test, its supposed to be really important for active people. Stress (including physical) increases the magnesium burn rate. Maybe since your diet is restrictive you should get it through an electrolyte supp? I have one called 'genesis sea minerals' which i have just when playing tennis, but i used to have it all day in place of water when i first started having it.
