Hi, everyone :) I just found Ray Peat diet earlier last week after discovering Danny Roddy in the journey to reverse my hair loss. Please critique my diet and supplements to make it better.
A quick background of my diet: I've been on low-carb paleo diet for a few years now. It's been good to me when it comes to weight loss. But on December 2014, I started to realize that my hair has been thinning eversince I started low carb diet, so I searched for hair loss solutions online and started consuming lots of (yuck) PUFA foods like Almond, sunflower seeds, carob etc because they're anti-oxidants with lots of essential-oil nutritients etc. I also applied Almond Oil and Castor Oil on my hair. Needless to say, it worsens the hair loss. So upon discovering Danny Roddy and Ray Peat, I immediately changed my diet last Thursday night (February 5).
This is my stat:
- Male
- 35.5 years old
- 5'9" (175cm)
- 160lbs (about 72.5kg)
- lean but v-shaped somewhat muscular
My goal via Peat diet:
- stoping and even reversing hair loss. Even better if I can regain my long surfer hair in early 20s!
- lifting my face up for anti aging (using pregnenolone)
- maybe becoming a few inches taller (using DHEA)
My new Peat diet meal (I only eat twice a day at noon and evening. Is this good or bad?):
- 1 raw carrot, chopped and mixed with apple cider vinegar and coconut oil
- 1 glass of orange juice (no pulp) mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1 glass of whole milk (lactose-free) mixed with a teaspoon of Matcha tea, a teaspoon of Raw Cacao powder, a teaspoon of raw honey, a few drops of vanilla stevia and a drop of vanilla extract
- 8 oz of chuckroast beef cooked + 1 egg (total 2 per day) + 6 oysters (only once a day, on noon meal) cooked in grassfed butter
- 1 big tablespoon of cottage cheese + 1 big tablespoon of Greek Yogurt (low carb)
- seasonings: 1/2 teaspoon of Himalayan salt, 1 huge tablespoon of coconut oil, a tablespoon of Great Lakes Collagen Gelatin
I also drink a cup of homemade beef bone broth every night.
I eat 8oz of beef liver twice a week, separated by 3-4 days each (out of 7 days/week)
My Supplements:
Vitamin D3, Vitamin B1, Ester C, NAC, Activated Charcoal, Zinc. I take 1 pill of each per day, except D3 (4 little tablets) and Activated charcoal (2 tablets once every 2 or 3 days)
Positive results :
- better mood
- better sleep
- more energy, sometimes hyper :)
- skin tone looks better
Negative / mixed results:
- some parts of scalp is growing hair (like the very front of the crown) yet at the same time hair recedes / thinning more? My scalp becomes more visible each day yet the existing hair grows longer. What the heck?
- Bloated gut, my weight is still 160lbs but I'm loosing my abs. Maybe too much liquid from orange juice and milk?
- Sometimes my stomach hurts (too much liquid in the diet? too much for the thyroid and/or liver?)
So is the diet good? Do I need to improve it? If so, which parts do I need to increase/decrease? Maybe adding new food or removing some food completely? Additional supplements?
I'll also plan to use pregnenolone and DHEA supplements because I want to look younger and maybe a few inches taller. What do you guys think is a good dosage of those two, based on my age, physical stat and diet? I don't want to lose hair for using mis-dosed pregnenolone and I certainly don't want to have enlarged liver and/or alzheimer for excessive DHEA. Pretty sure I have to take more vitamin A to counter acnes from these 2 supplements.
Again, the goal is hair growth, face-lifting and growing taller.
Thanks in advance!! :)
