new low, of a sort

Cubit said:

After shaving this morning, my eyes happened upon my digital body
temperature thermometer. Since I feel great today, I thought it might be a
good time to get a normal reading, as a benchmark. The digital thermometer
said I am 96.0 degrees. This seemed absurd, so I got out my 20 or 30 year
old mercury thermometer. I shook it down to 95, which isn't easy to do, and
took my temperature the old fashioned way. I let it measure, deep behind my
tongue, for 8 minutes. The reading was 96.8 degrees.

Fitday says that over the last 28 days I have averaged 1240 calories per
day.

Presumably, my metabolism is conserving energy after 19 months of dieting.
Despite this, I have averaged a loss of 1.72 pounds per week this last
month, and 1.68 pounds per week averaged over the last two months.

My point is: just because low calorie eating may reduce the metabolism, does
not mean one should eat more calories to lose weight. It just means that
one needs to eat sufficiently less calories to compensate for the reduced
burn rate.

My subjective sense of energy is the highest I've felt in years. I'm
setting new records for household chores, for yardwork, and even did a roof
repair project. The laundry is done, dishes washed. Maybe, today, I'll
wash my car by hand.

I think you are wasting time trying to do calorie calculations or
trying to make the numbers make sense. Calories mean squat.

Make sure you have a total T3 run.
Sometimes T4 and TSH (the usual 2 run) can be normal but since T3 is the
actual ACTIVE hormone, it means more...... but a lot of doctors don't
understand that.

That's why I finally went to a good endocrinologist that knew that.

My normal body temp is similar, but I have thyroid disease. Despite
taking replacement hormones for this, I'm never 97.6 or whatever is
supposed to be normal - always a degree or two less than that. When my
temp gets taken by health care professionals, they always do it two or
three times because they can't believe the readings.

I have a hard time knowing when I actually have a fever. If I feel
punky and I'm 97.6, am I running a temp? I have to assume so, but try
explaining that to some nurse on the doctor's phone!

That's correct. There is a great life extension effect from lowered
metabolism, at least based on animal studies.

That's amazing Cubit... I wish you to stay slim forever... do not let
your guard down... Your slimness will last only as long as you are
dieting, as you said yourself many times.

I've been sick and had a temp of 99ºF which the doctor always says is "no
big deal". Why don't they listen when I tell them that I AM febrile, that
my normal temp is always below 97ºF??? That's one of the most irksome
things about know-it-all doctors... 🙁

Cubit, Everyones temperture drops during the night. If you did this
very near to your awakening time, chances are that your basal body
temperature was still low.
Also you need to think about maybe finding yourself a girl friend and
having some serious sex! You have way too much time on your hands
obsessing over your calories, weight and body temperature.

Does it have to be a GIRL friend?

A GIRL friend isn't as close as a Girlfriend 😉 For some men a GIRL
friend will suffice as it isn't so commital and a Girlfriend is.Let me
explai it a little better.... A hooker can be a GIRL friend but she
wouldn't classify as a Girlfriend. See my point? <wink> The poor guy
just needs a woman period!

I had a friend who was a bachelor for many years and got finally got
married a few years back in his late 40's. When he was in his 30's and
40's he used to date younger girls, then switched out for the more
mature women. I used to tease him and said "Ol Pat, he'll date anyone
19 to 99 and if they cant walk he'll drag 'em!"

Y'all seem to be assuming that he would want a partner of the female
persuasion. You sure of that?

Well I was just kidding with him myself. The odds are that he is more
likely to be heterosexual rather than homosexual. Statistically I read
some time back 1 in 6 was gay. I went with the higher percentage and
the chance he was straight. Who knows and who cares right???? So, I
will rephrase my statement in my prior post to this: "I think Cubit
needs to find some two way human sexual satisfaction and be in the
company of a warm snuggly body so as to occupy the "too much free time"
he expends obsessing about his weight, calories, carbs, and body
temperature." There is that better? <smiling>

I had been up and around for about 4 hours.

It is normal for those who are calorie restricted to think about food
related issues, such as the various aspects of dieting.

In answer to a later part of the thread, I happen to be straight.

ASD/ASDLC had been getting a bit slow, and I broached a new topic. Even if
it was a bit self-centered, I feel I made a contribution to the groups.

Your criticism of my focus on my diet sounds a bit like sour grapes to me.
