This is SUCH an interesting eating plan to me. I have found that no matter how carefully I eat, if I exercise, I stall out on losing weight.
Reading from the previously referenced interview is very provoking:
Quote:
Mary Shomon: You feel that excessive aerobic exercise can be a cause of hypothyroidism. Can you explain this further? How much is too much?
Dr. Ray Peat: I'm not sure who introduced the term "aerobic" to describe the state of anaerobic metabolism that develops during stressful exercise, but it has had many harmful repercussions. In experiments, T3 production is stopped very quickly by even "sub-aerobic" exercise, probably becaue of the combination of a decrease of blood glucose and an increase in free fatty acids.

I am currently stalled at 160 which is one of my previous "fat setpoints", and I stalled as soon as I started walking more (6-7 miles a day). HMMM. |
