    How do you explain the apparent good health of the Japanese? They seem to have a low metabolism (less keen on physical exercise), however they keep in good physical shape (very rarely overweight) and seem to age particularly well cognitively.

    Psychopaths

    I haven't found Ray Peat's thoughts on psychopaths, so I asked him what's his guess about what causes it and if it can be cured. His response: Then I asked him if by maternal neglect he referred to something like not touching or talking the baby and he replied: Yes, touching, talking...

    Metabolic Rate: How Much Will It Increase?

    How much of an increase in basal metabolic rate can we reasonably expect from eating the Peat way? If my bmr is 1000-1200 calories a day, how is eating this diet going to change that?

    Emotional Distress can wreak havoc on you no matter how well you take (try to) care of yourself. I literally feel my metabolism turn toxic when I'm troubled. What are Ray's thoughts when it comes to the mind-as-healer/slayer topic? Or, anyone else's. I begged the folks in an emergencey room one...

    Hormesis

    Hi folks, I'm quite new to the Peat world, and a particular topic that gets some attention in other dietary circles is the concept of hormesis. Some examples of this would be resistance training and short-term fasting: the judicious application of stressors in order to evoke a hormetic...
