He did. And I'm acting stupid by not directly accepting the use of Cytomel, a thyroid drug. I just hadn't thought it'd be that bad. I know that it's a tremendous problem to lose weight/fat ,but after all those years I've finally hit the best way to do it as a combination of
- weight lifting
- interval cardio
- lowcarb diet with frequent refeeds
- eat very little one day and then jack up intake to very high numbers the other day
And right now I'm only about 1.7 kg away from the desired weight at a normal bf% level (don't even want to reach a lower level since that would require too much fanatism to adhere to)

But I tend to forget that I'm tired more easily than others, viz. only outside the gym.. (inside I'm going balls -to-the-walls so to say), have gray hair, very low HR, used to feel cold all the time, and a terrible memory.

Some of these problems were solved using B12 and now even go better with Fortega (our vitamin-B powerhouse supplement). But it only takes a day like yesterday with weight lifting and lots of cardio to make me feel completely wiped out. I used to just vegetate in between lifting days. I don't ever want to have that happen again.

One of the most interesting observations he made was that my squinting and astigmatism are very tiresome for the brain. Perhaps that's the reason why I burn through B-vitamins more than others, apart from bad absorption? And calories too?
Another observation was that my blood pressure was rather low, only 100/75 while my HR (seated behind pc) is only 40bpm. He wanted me to get an ECG done and get back to him for the results.
