    I'm Finally Losing Serious Weight

    I've said that I am against fast weight loss, and I am. So I wanted to update you. I was at 170 for a long time, a US size 32 or 34 waist, then in my middle age creeped up a bit. I was following low carb most of that time Then I started a Peat-inspired diet. By then I was more at 190, and I...

    Personalized Diets Based On DNA/genome Analysis Are A Failure

    I am sure by now everybody has heard of the much-heralded approach of the so-called "personalized medicine" - a world in which every person will be treated uniquely based on the complete analysis of their genome/DNA. From specific drugs and dosage, to interventions like radiation, diet and...

    1600IU Of Vit E Safe During Fat Loss?

    I have gained some weight, would like to lose 3-4kg slowly by still doing RP diet, but having fruits instead of pure sugars like honey/brown sugar etc. I hear polyunsaturated fat is the issue here as burning fat leads to more PUFA in the blood. But can the harmful effects of PUFA be negated by...

    Fruitarian Diet For Weightloss?

    What are your thoughts on doing an all fruit diet for weight loss? I'm pretty sure Peat has said he doesn't totally oppose all fruit diets and that they may even be optimal in some situations. Clearly it works for some of those 801010 fans. What about all fruit with just a bit of protein from...

    The Iron Elimination Paradox & Weight Loss

    I've been reading about Hepcidin, a pro hormone discovered recently in 2000. It is the hormone that regulates Iron absorption and elimination in the body. There is a lot of evidence via Ray Peat that most degenerative conditions involve excess iron, either directly or indirectly. Hepcidin is...

    Rice Diet

    If starch causes cortisol excess and can lead to belly fat, then how come all of the participants of the Rice diet and followers of Dr. McDougall are all super thin? 90% of their diet is starch. Of course they eat relatively no fat. So, is starch the culprit, or all the fat that's typically...
