I can't get over how complicated so many of you make it to be healthy.
Ray Peat's research is absolutely brilliant. But the spin that some of you have taken on his interpretations are absolutely insane!
His dietary advice is so simple, yet I see some people on this board drinking tablespoons of baking soda, taking isolated vitamins galore, and doing a lot of other weird things. Why not just eat a healthy diet?
Ray Peat's dietary advice and approach is to consume ripe fruits, milk/cream, eggs, white fish/oysters/shrimp, organ meats, bone broth (for gelatin), and the occasional potato, carrot, and bamboo shoot. That's it. Nice and easy. Do this, and you will experience radiant health.
But, some of you are doing insane things and expecting great results. Who in their right mind expects optimal health, taking TABLEspoons of baking soda? The notion is ridiculous. Also, the amount of coffee and aspirin some of you take is is ludicrous. I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading on here.
Coffee and aspirin are great... in reasonable doses! You don't gain health by blasting your system with 6 cups of coffee a day, or popping 6 aspirin tablets. It's like some of you are just junkies, looking for the next silver bullet, instead of just eating a healthy diet.
My meals are easy. Fruit & Cheese. OJ & beef liver or gelatin. Shrimp, broccoli (very well cooked), butter, potatoes. Milk with honey or sugar. And so on.
Use some common sense. Don't consume sugar and starch at the same meal. Your gut will hate you for it.
I think a lot of you mean well, but your approach to this lifestyle is nuts.
