I wondering how the fasting mimicking diet (Here's the strange diet designed to slow down aging) might jibe with the Peat approach.
I'm on the fifth day of trying the diet (you just do it 5 days a month), have lost 13 pounds, and am enthusiastic about adopting it long term.
I know that many here say they've gained weight eating Peaty.
I had a confrontation with my health status last week when I did a 14.4 mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail in Washington state--7.2 miles uphill. Last summer, before Peating, I did the hike easily (at 65 years old). This time it was very difficult for me. I would have thought that with the assiduous PUFA avoidance and other Peat practices I'd been doing for 9 months or so, my health would have improved a lot. But no, as evidenced by my poor performance on the hike, I think it has gotten worse. It is NOT that I have been exercising less. When I went on the hike I was carrying at least 10 extra pounds that I had gained Peating. For me, anyway, it looks like Peating does not work if I allow weight gain. The fasting mimicking diet gives me optimism that I can take care of this problem.
