fat

A fascinating study, which provides a number of important findings and insights. First, the study shows that fat (from diet or lipolysis) drives estrogen production not only in fat cells (which has been known for decades, even by mainstream medicine), but also in other organs typically not...

As most of my readers know, androgenic steroids are considered extremely dangerous by medicine and are in fact outlawed in most "developed" countries. Aside from the (in)famous "roid rage", medicine claims that a large number of chronic conditions (spanning the spectrum from cosmetic to...

So I've been on here a while, and I've been living a life inspired by Peat's work for many years. I avoid PUFA like plague, don't starve myself of carbs, try my damndest to hit my micros etc. and I generally dip in and out of the forum so as not to drive myself crazy! To recap to date, I've...

Hi! I have been loving the freedom of eating in Ray Peat inspired ways after switching from a restrictive low carb, high protein diet that all the popular “health” people are promoting these days. However, milk has been a struggle for me. People have said to start of slow but as a child and...

Abstract BACKGROUND Dairy foods and lactose may impair fertility by affecting ovulatory function. Yet, few studies have been conducted in humans and their results are inconsistent. We evaluated whether intake of dairy foods was associated with anovulatory infertility and whether this association...

Has anyone experimented with leaving mostly just one energy source? I mean, consuming large amounts of carbohydrates and limiting fat, or consume large amounts of fat and reduce carbohydrates. It would be to avoid a proportion an equitable distribution of macronutrients between fats and...

If humans are supposed to eat a high- fat diet, why does fat taste so unbearably disgusting? You just get an instant puke reflex when ingesting fat into you mouth. It only gets bearable when adding carbs or lots of spices. Protein makes it taste okay, but you still get that disgusting fat taste...

So I am very much aware that Ray Peat and most people on this forum prefer sugar metabolism over fat metabolism. I don't have any problem with that in theory but feel like in the moment, that my sugar metabolism is somehow impaired. I outlined this in another thread, atm I quickly feel...

https://www.nature.com/articles/pr19852006.pdf?origin=ppub ^ Looks useful for people who get fatty stools / problems with low bile. Taurine conjugates fat soluable bile acids produced by the liver & gives them an added water soluble property which helps in the process of fat absorption through...

One of the few studies out there that not only links cancer with impaired OXPHOS, but demonstrates directly the role of reductive stress (exemplified by the NAD/NADH ratio) in cancer's appetite for fats as fuel required for the cancer survival and proliferation/metastasis. It also once again...

I read a lot about carbohydrates and their supposed importance for oxidative metabolism, CO2, thyroid hormones etc. I also watched a number of videos from personalities known to advocate very high carb diets, such as McDougall, Douglas Graham, Furhman etc and various fitness youtubers with...

An epidemiological study, yet still useful IMO since the correlation was maintained across the various levels of PUFA intake - i.e. the higher the PUFA intake the higher the prevalence of a mental disorder such as depression, which suggests a causal link. The link was the strongest in males and...

Kidding aside, it looks like pharma companies are starting to develop a very strong interest in oral delivery of steroids, using the technique described by Peat decades ago to bypass the first-pass metabolism in the liver. Namely, as Peat described, mixing a steroid (or another molecule) with...

Keep the butter on the bread, especially if you're a white dude!? A meta-analysis on the effects of low-fat diets on testosterone levels. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0960076021000716 The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Volume 210, June 2021...

If you have a history of body image issues, or still do or any type of unhealthy relationship with food please either stop reading, or know that what I'm saying is in a certain context. People are getting more and more concerned with the state of the world, the supply chains, the ability of the...

Another study corroborating the role of DHEA as one of the "youth" hormones. A recent study already demonstrated that DHEA can reverse aging of the human immune system, which usually goes hand in hand with lower cortisol and improved metabolism. The proven anti-cortisol effects of DHEA are...

Hopefully, this study will give some serious food for thought to people who use (intermittent) fasting (IF) with the goal of losing excess weight. A recent post of mine discussed that IF is ineffective for fat loss and actually leads to loss of lean mass. The lead author of that study, himself...

I find myself craving fatty, red meat all day long. I eat pounds of it over the days. I average at least at least 2-3 pounds a day, and it's taking a toll on my bills. I try to get the highest quality meat I can get, which is usually imported grass-fed lamb and mutton. I'm about 178cm, about...

I came across this website that sells home cream separators! We have access to farm fresh milk and instead of buying cream from them it is actually cheaper to use a cream separator. Here is the website if anyone is interested Merry Farm | Buy Milk Separators, Butter Churns, Egg Incubators Worldwide
