"Generally, fruits, roots, and tubers provide a high concentration of nutrients along with low concentrations of toxic antimetabolic substances." -Ray Peat
I hear so often people frustratingly say, "What do you eat on this diet?". Last night I brought up this topic to my husband and said, "what can't we eat?" He replied "fast food, junk food and wheat." Now that doesn't sound like anything any other healthy diet would disagree with! So where does all the struggle come from when, unlike other diets all the splurge foods are out and with Ray Peat dessert is in? I think maybe people have a hard time with it because it is not convenient and people dont want to cook much, for lack of time or interest, or they don't know how to cook.
Realizing that peppers, tomatoes, squash and other produce, that grows on the vine, is considered a fruit, it really opens up for more Ray Peat possibilities. I do make vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and salad, but just not very often, and when I do, I make sure I use less lettuce in my salads are more "Peaty" topping and cook the vegetables well as Ray Peat suggests.
I feel everyone's frustrations. My friends and family envy my great variety of foods and all the everyday decadence, looking like I cook all day, but honestly my meals come together so fast. I get so many request for ideas and recipes that I decided to document them the best I can, with easy step by step photos of my meals. I will make future posts with other food catergories. Please feel free to ask questions, and look for new recipes and pics often!
