Interesting video I recently watched that focuses on the nutrient and hormonal aspects of consuming vegetables vs. consuming tubers and fruits.

I meant vegetables are overrated in general society, as when anyone asks advice how to eat more healthy is always told "eat more fruit and vegetables"His point about calories is not relevant. You don't everything for calories.
The liver evolved the handle anti-nuternts. That's one of it's jobs.
Peat Vegetable Quote: "And so I don't have any disagreement with the dietary recommendations to eat lots of milk and cheese and fruit and vegetables..."
Ray Peat on eating well cooked leafy greens
"Peat quotes on greens in the context of just using their bolied water:
"I sometimes make a magnesium supplement by boiling a pound of greens (kale, beets, spinach, etc.) in a little water, making a concentrated extract rich in magnesium.”
"The things I most often recommend for magnesium are the water from boiling greens such as beet, chard, turnip and kale, and coffee."
"Cooked green leaves, or the water they were boiled in, is a very good source of magnesium, with other minerals in safe ratio."
[GREEN JUICES] "The minerals and vitamin K are definitely valuable, but the high content of PUFA and tannins is a problem. Boiling the leaves and discarding all but the water can produce a good magnesium supplement.
[I supplement 5g of vit K2 mk-4 once a week, do you think green veggies are even necessary?] If you have other sources of magnesium, the green vegetables aren't needed"
Peat quotes on greens in context of eating the whole leaves:
"Those hormones, antagonistic to cortisol, can help to reduce waist fat. Chard, collard, and kale are good greens."
"Well cooked potatoes, with butter or cream, fruit, and well cooked greens are other foods have vitamins and minerals that are helpful."
"Well cooked greens are very good sources, coffee and chocolate are, too."
"but the first thing should be to make sure her calcium to phosphorus ratio is good, by having two quarts of low fat milk per day, or the equivalent in low fat cheese, with no grains, legumes, nuts, or muscle meats, and with some well cooked greens regularly. Vitamin K is important for calcium metabolism, too."
"Cooked green leaves, or the water they were boiled in, is a very good source of magnesium, with other minerals in safe ratio." (both whole and water quote)"
@raypeatclips "My health has improved since added vegetables compared to the standard "peat diet" of very little vegetables."
What vegetables? Leafy greens like kale or other kinds?
That gut pain sounds pretty scary. Did you try aspirin?Just "regular" vegetables, onions, peppers, garlic, parnsips, carrots, courgette, mushrooms. Small amounts of a mix variety. I had gut pain for a long time, a burning in my lower right abdominal area, similar symptoms to appendicitis. I even visited the doctor where it was suggested I might have Crohn's or ulcerative colitis and referred to a GI consultant which I am awaiting an appointment with I probably won't go to now. The pain and issues are completely gone, none existent. Bowel movements are at the same time every day, soft and smooth (before my stools were so hard my **** bled, you can see some of my older posts about this) I'm sure my stomach looks slimmer, (less bloating maybe?) But my weight hasn't changed.
Kale and leafy greens have seriously irritated my gut before, when I have had to lie down and curl up in pain. Other times it has been fine, not sure why. I'm just avoiding them at the moment.
I do sometimes get mildly smelly gas which makes me think one of the veg is not digesting well or my body isn't reacting, which makes me think I'll have to try eliminating some of them and watching for changes but at the moment I don't care and enjoying feeling better.

What do you think resolved those issues, eating those vegetables you mentioned or Peating in general?
where else do you get your folate. apart from liver...
Don't mind him, he actually gets paid to say that.I meant vegetables are overrated in general society, as when anyone asks advice how to eat more healthy is always told "eat more fruit and vegetables"
I know Peat thinks vegetables are a good source of magnesium and vitamin K. But I think when you are hypothyroid or in bad health there are more important things to do than eating more vegetables,
such as eating satisfying amounts of protein, carbs and calories and cutting out PUFAs and other toxins.
I wish!Don't mind him, he actually gets paid to say that.
