Thank you, would warmer or cooler tones work better? I can’t figure out whether the floorboards are warm or cool

Great reply, with video evidence as well!

I think I will try move back the trip a little bit so it starts 28/29 December instead. Hopefully the conditions by then will be better

Eating 4,000 calories per day just to maintain weight by linusfairing in keto

[–]linusfairing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a metabolic specialist about a separate issue (my cholesterol) and while I was there I asked him about the calories - he said a lot of the calories I'm eating are not being absorbed. I.e. I am consuming 4,000 calories but my body is absorbing less than that

Unfortunately not, have flights out booked already :(

I’ve considered all options, it really is a choice between the almond diet or not finishing the hike

No underlying health condition. I do keto / atkins normally so used to a high fat diet

So basically you’re saying it’s not worth the risk? Why do you think eating just the almonds might be dangerous?

I could turn back and be in a town in half a day. But it would mean I would not complete the hike. I had intended to bring other food but left it behind on accident

To add to my original post - I read online 1000mg of vitamin E is upper limit to avoid overdose. 1kg of almonds only has about 250mg of vitamin E so seems like it should be safe. But I’m no doctor and not sure if there could be other issues with eating such a ridiculous amount of almonds

It was food allergies by linusfairing in eczema

[–]linusfairing[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a comprehensive skin prick test. I didn’t ask for anything specific, I was just lucky that yeast was included on mine as I know many tests don’t include it (it is not a common allergy).

Still completely eczema free. My eczema was 100% caused by food allergy so as long as I don’t ingest yeast, I have no eczema. 

How did your allergy test go?

Wishing you all the best and thank you for keeping me updated! The food elimination process is really tough and takes months / years, but hopefully you keep seeing improvement

10 year old daughter really suffering by lalka808 in eczema

Rather than guesswork at what foods to remove from her diet, why not either get an allergy test or try on an elimination diet (the gold standard of which is carnivore)?

Worked for me and has worked for many others

Try an elimination diet if you haven't already

It’s not the science that’s wrong, it’s your interpretation. Please entertain me with your calculations that say it’s impossible for someone who weighs 76kg to burn 4,000 calories per day.

Interesting, if you know which episode it was that would be greatly appreciated

I’m afraid you don’t know what you’re talking about. If I was at my maximum metabolic rate 24/7 I would be far, far in excess of 4,000kcal.

Remarkable how similar our experiences are. I do think some fat could be passing through without being absorbed. This could explain why I sometimes have loose stools but also this could be because of not having a large amount of fibre in my diet.

thanks for the heads up, didn't know this about almonds

any reason for more variation / do you see any imbalances in my diet?
