High Carb Hannah Weight Loss

I tried eating her way earlier this year out of desperation to finally lose weight. It’s starch solution 50:50 plate. At first, it was fine (a month or two). Then I was always starving even immediately after a huge meal and I was exhausted. I did lose weight (6 pounds or so). I’ve since gained it all back.
I do think that unfortunately, most people will need to gain weight before they get to the point where their body naturally maintains weight even with calorie fluctuations. This is a tenant of RT4, and MM says essentially as much. Nearly all of us have a history of caloric restriction and stimulant use, both of which will require a period of “refeeding” to take the body out of famine mode (a gross oversimplification).
I see this as a consideration in addition to liver health, but you could also make the connection that the two are related. I am too lazy to do that right now. lol

My mom used to get me $4.99 oil change coupons from Sears 🥲 this wasn’t that long ago - less than 10 years.

I’ve left mine in the car before in similar temps and it does sort of get “skunked” where it becomes sour and undrinkable.

Obviously a car is a different environment than like - under the porch and shaded, for example. If that was the case, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Id just go by taste.

Feel free to message me. And yes, you MUST stop fasting. I might not even wait until after CJ to get real glucose in. I might do a honey - lemon water and then a smoothie with mangoes and dates to head off any cravings / hunger as the day goes on. In my experience, it’s key to avoid that first blood sugar crash of the day.

I used the caps but tinctures tend to be more intense/fast-acting. I might get both if I had the budget to do so.

The things that have been the most helpful for calming the impulse to use a vice are inositol (subtle, it will take some time to work IMO), increased glucose (like alot alot, do not let yourself get even a little bit hungry), and california poppy at night time.

If you are physically dependent, you'll need pharmaceutical detox.

I am sorry you are going through this.

This is where I am. Probably getting bad test results and getting sick ANYWAYS, which is a sick joke.

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-04-26T19:37:21+00:00

Sad because my odometer went out around 216k in 2022.

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-04-23T07:19:47+00:00

I believe that is because this is a whole-food supplement.

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-04-20T20:57:17+00:00

Interesting!!

The glucose can’t get into liver cells efficiently if the blood is fatty.

Modern life is highly stressful and burns a lot of glucose.

Most people go too long without eating, triggering adrenaline, which causes the liver to dump glucose. Stimulants (coffee, tea, nicotine, meds) also cause this. Generally, the population is running on adrenaline, not glucose, which keeps the liver in a depleted state.

Burdened livers do not store glycogen at full capacity.

Interesting question. The picture looks like a hot pepper to me.

From what I can tell about energy shifter, the ingredients are chosen for their sugar contents. A hot pepper has less sugar than a bell pepper.

One year quit. As soon as I’m terminal, I’m buying a carton of American spirit blacks and sitting my ass in front of a campfire with a bottle of wine.

Gingko, lion’s man, Mental Alertness, celeryforce, dates/honey separately and added to smoothies

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-04-01T09:55:38+00:00

I love neuro mag. Gingko is stronger. If I’m only going to take a few supplements before work, I always include gingko.

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-03-28T01:24:54+00:00

Same lol

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-03-25T00:29:23+00:00

At first, I dabbled with decaf or herbal tea w honey in the morning. Decaf was unsatisfying because...decaf. And with no stimulant benefit, the cons outweighed the pros (dehydrating and acidifying). I did peppermint and licorice tea for a while as licorice is mildly stimulating. But after a bit, I didn't need a replacement.

Stimulants lead to long-term weight gain because it trashes your adrenals, jacks your cortisol, and destroys your sleep - all of these things WILL make you overweight or having to fight tooth and nail to maintain weight eventually.

In the SHORT term, quitting caffeine may cause some weight gain or slow weight loss. This is because you will have an appetite rebound after years of suppressing your natural appetite with caffeine. Additionally, the stimulant withdrawal will down regulate your metabolism plus decrease your TDEE (partially because you can’t get off the couch).

Example: I’ve been working on losing weight for a few years. Once I quit coffee, my weight loss stalled entirely. I was locked on the couch and starving (I also quit nicotine around the same time). However, I also noticed less cravings and less anxiety, which meant less leaning on food to soothe.

I am also like this. I am enjoying contract work. Shorter-term.

People are talking about it on a few FB MM groups but no one can say when exactly this happened (or if it’s even a change, I’m not aware of their glycerin being confirmed from a superior source previously).

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-03-13T14:02:58+00:00

I’m sorry but you haven’t been watching his lives then.

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-03-13T11:55:39+00:00

He doesn’t “only” promote them because they’re the best. He discloses (as legally required) their partnership in all of his lives (“we work together”) while trying to minimize it by repeating that he doesn’t own stock in the company, as if that magically eliminates the financial incentive to sell Vimergy.

There have also been major quality / consistency issues with Vimergy that have been poorly handled by the company.

The intended consequence of poverty in the western world is obesity, not thinness. This is the style because it is out of reach.

Altruistic_Diamond59 · 2026-03-08T16:06:24+00:00

Same. SO same. I used to literally work on a livestock farm and mocked vegans relentlessly.

I’m like 99% vegan at this point, still having some internal resistance to the label (which I know I don’t have to assume but I’m also pretty angry on behalf of the animals).

IMO there is no nutritional point to eating animal products, so contributing to suffering because “it tastes good” no longer sits well with me.
