DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A DOCTOR, JUST A LONG-TIME SUFFERER.
I still feel POIS symptoms but they are very minor: slight irritation, sweating, sugar cravings... I think I have cured POIS 99%.
The reason I am almost fully functional with POIS is because:
1. SLEEP: I try to fall asleep before 10pm. I thought this could not be done but you can do it if you start waking up at 6am or 7am a few days in a row and you will hopefully start getting tired around 9pm.
2. WATER: Sip a lot of water throughout day and night if needed.
3. NO EXERCISE: Almost no exercise at all. Walking, stretching, minor household work (taking out trash, washing dishes, vacuuming, etc.) that's it.
4. FOOD: I eat two meals per day on average. Each meal contains: a) protein: organic meat, fish or eggs, b) fiber: vegetables/salad and c) carbs: gluten-free bread, white rice, yams, or potatoes. My first meal is 2-3 hours after I wake up and my last meal at least 1-2 hours before sleep. I also eat a light snack or sweets right before bed to get my blood sugar up and enable me to sleep well. I eat 3-4 sweets during the day. I know, everyone says, stay away from sugar, but my body loves simple sugar and works incredibly well on it (cane sugar, coconut sugar and maple syrup are the easiest for me to digest and help me digest food unlike fructose [fruit, honey] and lactose [milk and cheese]). I eat mostly milk chocolate and cornflakes or Swedish candy right after my meals and between my meals to help me digest foods and keep my blood sugar up throughout the day. I also have 2-4 coffees/cokes per day after or with meals, not on an empty stomach (caffeine helps me a lot). I have lost weight by eating as much sugar and caffeine as I want per day. I know it's crazy but it works for me. I don't overdo it, I eat only as much as it feels good to me (about 2-4 chocolates per day). I only eat fruit right before breakfast because it tends to ferment in me if I eat it after meals. I stay away from nuts, gluten, large amounts of milk, cheese and ice-cream, peanut butter and other nut butters. The only oils I use are: duck fat, pork fat, ghee, coconut oil, olive oil, sesame oil. I think we need to concentrate on healing our liver and adrenals.
We may have fatty liver or some kind of virus attacking us right after a stressful experience such as (orgasm, exercise, massage, stressful conversation, stressful event, etc.) when our defenses/immunity is down.
Does anyone else have POIS symptoms after a stressful experience such as: exercise, massage, stressful event, etc.? Did anyone else start noticing POIS symptoms after gaining weight?
It could be that we need to drop our weight down significantly to get rid of the fat in our liver and then our liver will start working well again.
I hope this helps.
