Fueling your workouts properly is key to performing optimally. Sometimes is difficult to get it right. Either the amount is not enough, or we get gastric upset, or worse, hypoglycemia during the workout. With the right carb source, we can prevent that from happening. A few benefits of...

"I think a person of average size should have at least 180 grams per day, maybe an average of about 250 grams." In my opinion this is the most overlooked and important of Peat quotes for people on this forum to read. Many people here experiencing health problems, or even creating new health...

So much for carbs making you fat, diabetic, sick and old. This is a nice corroboration of the other thread I posted on Okinawan diet. The author of this study actually mentions the Okinawan people as second-most-healthy in terms of cardiovascular system. The Tsimane diet has the same amount of...

This is a recent study that confirms another controversial one I posted on the forum more than a year ago. https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/low-protein-high-carb-diet-healthier-than-caloric-restriction.6909/ The newer study also had some unexpected findings. For example, increasing...

European Journal of Clinical Nutrition - A review of the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity The carbohydrate–insulin model of obesity theorizes that diets high in carbohydrate are particularly fattening due to their propensity to elevate insulin secretion. Insulin directs the partitioning of...

Confused about serotonin OK, so from what I've gathered so far, RP is not a fan of serotonin, and believes estrogen dominance has alot to do with high serotonin and high histamine. But then as I'm reading his article I find this: "A large carbohydrate meal increases the ratio of tryptophan to...

Decreased free fraction of serum thyroid hormones during carbohydrate overfeeding. Abstract The impact of the increased T3 production induced by overfeeding is likely to be lessened if overfeeding also decreases the free fraction of thyroid hormones. Therefore, we examined the effect of 17 to...

Carbs, not fats, boost half-marathon race performance http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 094542.htm

I've been wondering about the following: When the temperature goes down, we tend to seek heavier foods, fattier. However, if carbs are so much more efficient at generating energy and heat, why wouldn't we just seek more carbs? Is it just a matter of instinct? On the other hand, when people are...

This is not directly Petarian, but I have been following the news on performance enhancing effects of sugar in sports. It has been known for a long time that the performance boosting effect is present even without people ingesting the sugar but simply gargling with it and spitting it out. This...

I read that Ray Peat recommands 180-250 g carbs daily. Is that for a 2000 calorie diet ? Just doing a little bit of mathematics with that. Because 180-250 gram carbs is only 700-1000 calories. For someone that needs 2000 calories, that is only 35-50% of the total calories. For someone that...

At the moment, these are my carb sources: 1. Sugar (taken sometimes with milk or coffee) 2. OJ (high in vitamin C, which I find a pain in the ass when you are eating food that is high in iron, hence I hardly ever use it because I eat meat once, sometimes twice, per day) 3. Potato - boiled to...
