i am trying to cut down on sugar.
drinks are the worst... all the soda. i am soooo trying to cut down on my coke and pepsi.
and cakes. sigh i have a sweet tooth and i love cakes so much
no choice, i do agree sugar is killing us
This sounds reasonable to me, OTHER THAN WILLFULLY EATING PUFAS. That pufas are harmful is at the core of Peat's SCIENTIFIC view, and there's no good reason to eat them.@lampofred maybe my experience has some parallels with yours? I think there's a lot of value in the Peat approach, but I've found the typical RP diet hasn't worked for me after several attempts, and that's pretty much down to me rather than the diet itself. I don't like shellfish or organ meats, can't access / afford good quality fruit in any decent quantity, find that drinking large amounts of milk gives me mucus, and am not crazy about eggs, so I end up undereating on protein and losing my appetite for everything except refined sugar. Then I get tooth sensitivity, weight gain and lethargy from the sugar. So I think that eating a less Peaty diet, perhaps getting a bit more PUFA / non-optimal food than I ideally should, but taking in more nutrients overall is the solution. I am continuing with Peat's ideas on progesterone, CO2, red light, perceive / think / act etc as these have all served me well.

I don't know whether you are eating too much sugar for your own good or not - some people do well with lots of sugar, as long as they also get all the other nutrition they need too. Some do better with less sugar and more starchy foods, such as spuds and other roots.absolutely! sugar is the devil!
Yes. But not necessarily unlimited amounts of mineral-depleted refined sugars displacing other nutrition.Are you aware which forum you are on? Dr. Peat is sugar's biggest advocate.
really? didn't know that.Are you aware which forum you are on? Dr. Peat is sugar's biggest advocate.
A wholesome diet for most people can include sugar. Preferably mostly from foods that also have minerals etc. Like fruit, milk, etc.i was introduced to this by friends to read up on wholesome diet
I agree with you. I tried organic coconut oil and it brought back my runny nose so I interpreted that as an inflammatory reaction even though Dr. Peat extolls the virtues of it. I am fine with coconut flakes but the refined stuff seems to be a problem for me. I used extra virgin coconut oil (Anthony's Organic brand) that I bought off Amazon. If anyone else has had a similar reaction yet found a brand that did not give them the same reaction - I am open to suggestions.Peat is first about not being stupid.... Assess and experiment, see results and act accordingly. Believe your body before you believe ...anybody even Peat.

Peat has mentioned that the unrefined (eg virgin) coconut oil can be allergic for some people, and that the refined oil usually avoids this.I tried organic coconut oil and it brought back my runny nose so I interpreted that as an inflammatory reaction even though Dr. Peat extolls the virtues of it.

I'd expect any RBD (refined, bleached, deodorised) coconut oil would be similar and worth a try. They filter it to leave just the oil.@tara - do you have a recommendation i.e., brand name?
USA. With Amazon, not sure that matters too much anymore. Seems most things are available anywhere.Do you want to tell which country you are in?

If you have reason to think that you are eating too much refined sugar for your own good ATM - that it is actually doing you harm, not just that there is a society-wide moral panic against sugar ATM - then I'd recommend:
- Use cronometer or similar to get a rough idea what nutrition - carbs, protein, minerals, vitamins - you are getting from your average daily diet.
- Identify a variety of replacement foods that you can imagine eating and enjoying that have more nutrition than the refined sugar foods.
- If you can see obvious low areas in your current diet, especially identify foods that would boost in those areas.
- Get yourself supplies of replacement foods, so that when you get hungry or thirsty, you have something more nutritious at hand to choose.
For instance, that might mean making sure you always have fruit and juice available, so that when you want sugar, you can have it - with the minerals you need to use it.
If you crave high-density sugar, try dried fruit.
Consider making cakes that have lots of dairy, eggs, maybe some fruit/veges (eg apple, zucchini, carrot), no high-PUFA oils, and less grain.
Check that you are getting enough protein.
Check that you are eating foods that give you enough minerals - esp the major alkaline ones - Ca, Mg, K, Na, but the smaller ones too.
B vitamins are important for using sugar.
Calcium foods are milk/cheese and/or lots of green leaves. Potassium is in fruits and veges etc. Liver every week covers several bases. Zinc is found in oysters. Etc ...
It's possible that once you fill your needs for all the other nutrients, your cravings for sugar will line up with your actual needs.
