Hi, everybody!
Thanks, Charlie, for making this easier, here are my answers to your questions:
What's your age?
45
How did you find the forum?
Frantically searching Google to read testimonials from people who have experience with the RP diet.
How did you find Ray Peat's work?
Good one. I can't remember! Brain fog? If you refer to how I liked it, well, I think it is worthy of a Nobel prize if he is right in his theories and his views on the human body/life in general, inasmuch as I have gleaned them through his articles and other materials available on the net. I can't wait to read his books. However, I am not a scientist myself so take that for what it's worth.
How long have you been Peating?
Five weeks.
What is your favorite part about Peating?
Simplicity, once you get the hang of it.
What is the worst part?
The tendency one might have to apply it religiously, using, for instance, Peat's own quantities and ratios of food and supplements. That can be a recipe for (relative) disaster -- rapid weight gain, etc. I think one should listen to one's body and ease into Peat's diet, especially if they come from a low carb pattern.
What are your health issues?
Hashimoto's, possibly SLE (auto-antibodies to dsDNA, yikes!), gluten intolerance, peri-menopause. After a lifetime of good health, came a year of everything falling apart. That was also the year I went full speed on a Paleo diet, low carb, so I am rather upset about that and I sometimes think I may have brought all of this upon myself...
What other questions should we ask?
Where does one live, maybe? Strasbourg, for me.
I want to thank you all for all the information you generously conveyed to one another, which benefited many more watching, including myself!
