i have no idea why people on RP land are so scared of "metabolism" slowing down. Peat has said in tons of interviews if you want to loose fat eat LESS. 2 liters of skimmed milk and 1 liter of OJ is a very good base to keep, then you can add some protein foods on top of that. Then you have everything covered to not do any harm to your metabolism. Also these people that are afraid of metabolism slowing down, they pound the food and eat a ton of food ain gain fat like crazy. So whats the result of that? you clearly have not raised your metabolism if you gain fat from eating more. That should not happen if you managed to raise it. So chill out and read more of ray peats stuff and understand the basic calories in and out model so that you have something to go by. Start to eat RP foods at the calorie level you need to maintain weight, then eat a little less if you want to loose fat. IF you start to loose fat when you eat at maintenance calories from RP foods thats great, which means the foods are increasing your metabolic rate.
