I know what you meant by high. The only thing that keeps me from feeling pass out miserable is when I'm in social situations. Otherwise, like I said, I feel extremely tired regardless of what I'm doing or eating. I have had my thyroid checked and have been checked for a few deficiencies already. I will probably try some non fat yogurt though I've been meaning to do that. Thanks for all the help.
I'm not talking about getting a "high"; I'm talking about a more satisfied feeling.
"My fatigue is pretty consistent throughout the day, I just get done what I have to get done and bare with it." Fatigue is a major symptom of hypothyroidism, as well as vitamin B12 deficiency....... you should get them both tested. For hypothyroidism, you need TSH, Free T3 and Free T4; for vitamin B12 deficiency you need vitamin B12.... You should also get checked for insulin resistance.
Maybe you could try a non fat greek yogurt, in place of the ice cream. It comes in a variety of great tasting flavors and leaves a satisfied feeling, without a lot of calories. A low fat cottage cheese would also be better than the ice cream.
Ok I'll try that. I never really get a high though. My fatigue is pretty consistent throughout the day, I just get done what I have to get done and bare with it. I haven't really ate any ice cream in the past couple days so I guess that's good.
Get your thyroid checked to make sure it's not malfunctioning, then try to follow Caryopterus' suggestions.
Ice cream could have a soothing effect because it's made of milk/cream, which has lots of protein, vitamin B12, as well as fat, which always make us feel fuller. Plus dairy naturally has a soothing effect on the stomach.
10 minutes of exercise/day is not enough to work off a dish of ice cream, so the extra calories would be stored as fat.
You are causing your blood sugar to go up and down, which gives you a high and then a crash. You need to eat vegetables and lean meat, some fruit. Colorful, unprocessed foods you cut up yourself and cook or eat raw. If you eat lots of vegetables, leafy greens, some nuts, a little fruit (not juice) and a little lean meat, poultry or fish every day, you will get off the binging blood sugar roller coaster and you will start feeling better. Supplement with magnesium in the morning and calcium and vitamin D at night and a probiotic.
