What about your dreams @Jiří? Do you dream every night or did you stop dreaming at one point in your life and started again after following the diet?

I had some weird nightmares even as a child. Waking up crying and calling mama mama. 🙂 I think I have crazy dreams mostly due to heavy metal toxicity mercury and copper. No nothing changed in terms of dreams starting with low vit A diet..

@thomas I still have waking issues fairly regularly at 1.5yrs on the diet as well. One trick that recently helped I think, was having mashed potatoes with my beef,rice and beans at dinner time. Potatoes are quite nutritious, so something in there is helping.
Glad to hear your are having success, I still see positive results as well, so know this is the right path, just need to be patient and push on. Also the cheat days are a good idea!
Not just potatoes but carbs overall help with sleep. Waking up in 2-3 am is mostly due to low glycogen in the liver = stress hormones will wake you up.. That's why it is hard to not wake up x times at nigh when you are on low carb/keto diet.. So eating enough carbs to keep your liver glycogen full will help for sure.. Btw the amount of glycogen that can be stored in the liver depends on the health of your liver. For example people with fatty liver can't store much glycogen at all and I think the same goes for any toxicity like vit A, iron, copper...
Thing is no other carb has responded like white potato. Before low VA no matter what ratio I ate of carbs/fat/protein sleep was always horrible, constant wakings and fatigue in mornings. Now rice, fruit, legumes, sugars help, but seems recently adding potato has more of a benefit to me. Theory would be taters are easily digested by most, Bs, glucose, potassium for insulin, minerals, something in there is helping me get better sleep, along with the slow reversal of VA induced fatty liver damage.

Thanks for your reply @thomas. If you had no problems dreaming, it might mean that the hypothalamus was not affected yet by the poisoning. This should be excellent news for you! 
I hope so! Thanks for the info anyway 🙂

I remember eating white potatoes nearly 5 months into the diet, and slept great at that time.. Maybe theres a nutrient in potatoes like vit C that we dont get from beef,rice,beans. Anyways, thats great how you’re starting to feel better too! Been a very slow journey for sure

I knew i had a problem with my carb intake since the heart palpitation incident. I’ve raised my carbs but dont feel too different. Actually last night is the first night i’ve slept without waking up in over a month! haha, so some progress there
