I do eat lighter in the evenings and i stop drinking water after 4- this has helped my insomnia issues, people with blood sugar issues have to be careful with water consumption because it dilutes the sugars in the body. But mostly I just focus on getting in 2-3 big meals with starchy carbs protein fat and vegs if i have room. That is what has been bringing my temps up and patches of dry skin that wouldnt go away despite all the good fats and protein have started to leave (its so great cos i tried everything!!) . The first week or so you feel kinda wonky as healing begins and tired too but i try and lsiten to my body's call for sleep/ More recently i am noticing more energy as in boucning around in the afternoons. Something else that is cool that ive learned is that protein helps with making serotonin but its only when you eat carbs and protein together that the serotonin can cross the brain barrier and actually make an impact,
Blessed mama I hear you on overload! I always find myself trying to read and research about 5 different topics at once. I have read some stories of people who had done GAPS for an extended amount of time and started the rest and refeeding to bring back their temps. The thing with low carb it that protein without sufficient carbs tends to spike cortisol which can create adrenal issues over time. Of course I am not very familiar with GAPS so it may not even apply to that.
