    Meat and sugar ratio.

    Lately I have been eating more meat with gelatin. I enjoy eating about 3 ounces of gf beef with an espresso mixed with sugar, gelatin, and butter. (I also take calcium glucarate or oyster shell powder with it.) I estimate I am getting 20-25 grams of protein. If the the ratio is 1:4...

    Why Do I Function Better When Restricting Protein?

    I have been recovering for almost a YEAR from a brief ketosis and low carb stint and have developed reactive hypoglycemia, chronic fatigue, brain fog and depression induced by the diet. My TSH levels have not been recently tested (tested back in October yet TSH levels did not indicate...

    Protein Sources (yep, That Question Again)

    Hello, I've been following the peat approach for around 8 months now (having been strict Paleo for two years) but there are a few bumps in the road, this is mostly low protein. I'm a lean guy, 6'2" 160lbs (15lbs heavier than when I was paleo) and do very little physical activity so my protein...

    My Result From 1-2 Weeks Of Lower Protein Experiment

    Last 1-2 weeks i have experimenting with decreasing my protein a bit, just to see. Everyday i got around 200g or a little more cheese, wich means 64g quality protein. Sometimes i got a little more cheese. The rest of the protein came from wheat, chocolate,candy(gelatin). I guess that was it...

    Lucid dreams when I don't eat protein before bed

    RP recommended that high protein meals be consumed in the morning, and high fat/sugar at night before bed (like ice cream). It was very noticeable that when I didn't eat cheese before bed, if I was too lazy to get up and eat some, I would have lucid dreams all night long. It's a very consistent...

    High Protein Option For People Living In USA

    Hi all, I currently reside in the US and have been constantly trying to come up with ways to eat a diet close to Peat's principles (especially high protein), while minimizing time and cost spent in getting it. While there is no substitute for home-made food, often I have so little free time...

    High Protein Problems?

    Any potential problems from consuming too many grams of protein on a daily basis? I've been averaging over 200 grams a day. I am trying to eat a low fat diet (under 40 grams, sometimes under 30 grams), and if I want to eat around 3,000 calories with that low amount of fat I end up eating around...

    What Is "adequate Protein"?

    Is there a standard daily recommendation for protein? Two quarts of nonfat milk have a total of around 33 grams of protein. If you added maybe an egg, some gelatin, a little cheese -- you'd be at something like 75; maybe. This is the Peat recommendation -- the milk and gelatin -- but is this...

    brown rice protein powder

    I suppose this is a no-go but I added it about a month ago to flavor my goat milk. I'm not sure I could replace it. Any suggestions?

    "High Quality Protein"

    Ray Peat often mentions that high quality protein can be obtained from milk, cheese, potatoes, and eggs. Soy protein is of bad quality. I suppose he is talking from a thyroid/liver perspective. Protein that helps the liver convert T4 to T3 is high quality protein. Did he arrive to these...

    "Milk, cheese, and eggs are better proteins, anyway..."

    This was a in the email depository and I would like to discuss it. I usually get a 1/4 cow of grass fed beef every year around spring. However, due to lack of funds, and also seeing this quote above. I am thinking of maybe not getting it this year and sticking with more milk, eggs, shellfish...

    Protein ideas when intolerant to many

    I've been eating Peaty for 1.5 years (was working with practitioner). I feel better when I eat around 100 grams of protein per day. But I am intolerant to so many proteins, I can't get to 100 grams (or even 80 sometimes). Looking for ideas. Here is a breakdown of the proteins and my issues with...

    Whey Protein

    I realize Ray Peat is not a fan of whey protein because of the tryptophan content in it. But I was wondering if adding supplemental gelatin to it would counterbalance the negative effects of tryptophan? I believe Peat recommends supplementing with gelatin if you eat a meal with pure muscle meats...
