Glycogen stores
Jun. 27th, 2014 10:46 amThanks, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redheadfae for this link on waking up at 3am which is exactly what has happened to me three nights in a row this week. Including last night. But I still made it to the gym this morning.
RAWR.
As I mentioned to her, my carbs are super low on the SCD. And since I'm continuing to lift heavy, my glycogen stores are probably zero-to-nothing right now. It also coincides with what I've read about how women with thyroid issues need more carbs than most people because glycogen is what helps the liver do the T3/T4 conversion properly. So I'll be mixing up that little cocktail (probably with a little spoonful of magnesium for good measure) tonight!
