    Hi!
    My husband and I have been “eating for heat” for about 2 months now. My temperature goes up and down rapidly day-to-day and throughout any given day. I can wake up with a low temperature and then be up to mid 99s by the afternoon. My husband, however, has a steady 98.6 temperature, with maybe .1 degree variability. What causes this? Why the difference?

    That’s my main question for now, but for those of you who are interested, here’s a little introduction (seems self-indulgent but I love reading everyone else’s):
    I have been struggling with my health for about 5 years now. Each decline in health was actually preceded by a period of restrictive eating (in hindsight). The worse I got, the more restrictive I became, the worse I got. In the pursuit of health, I have been on the following diets: vegetarian, low carb, dukan, paleo, slow carb, GAPS, bulletproof, elimination and probably more.
    I was totally humbled when I started eating the food like a normal human being – and feeling better. I have gained some weight but I’m remarkably okay with it, because of all the good things (increased libido, clearer skin, decreased anxiety, being warm, etc). I actually feel better about myself.
    We are in the process of selling all of our possessions and going to do some long-term travel. We can work remotely, do some volunteer work and live in a warm climate – something we have dreamed about for years.
    Okay, thanks for reading! And thanks for all the valuable information on this site and forum!

    Circadian variation is normal. Usually lowest in morning & late evening, highest in late afternoon/early evening.

    If you’ve got 99 at midday, that’s a good sign. How low in the morning is the remaining question? I’ve been told by others on the forum that if it’s high-97s or better, you’re in good shape or well on your way.

    @mighty m – Thank you. I guess I just shouldn’t worry about it. My husband is always 98.4 – 98.8 and I’m 98.2 – 99.6 so we’re both doing well. It’s just funny that my range is so much bigger.

    Hey there … I have tried taking my temp under the arm and get a lower reading (in the morning) than I get if I do it anally. So, which one is right? …. thanks Jill

    You can expect underarm to be about 1/2 degree lower than oral. Don’t know about anal.
