I’ve been familiar with Ray Peat for awhile but my mental health has been very bad since the beginning of 2020 up until now. I eat all the “peat” foods, followed by binge eating junk filled with pufa, and alcohol consumption to escape. Im cutting out alcohol and processed foods. I’m finally moving and starting a new job that will keep me on my feet 8 hours per day. I’m ready to finally go all in and get back to my healthy self (pictures attached).
After reading through this forum, reading Ray’s articles, and listening to @Hans podcast, I notice that having carbs in the diet is necessary to support the metabolic rate, which will help with fat loss. Currently I weigh 285 and would like to return back to 225 in a safe way.
I want to track my calories for a bit as well as my physical activity to make sure I am not stressing my body too much. Would a high carb intake be fine for significant weight loss? I’m in it for the long haul as it took me 1.5-2 years to put on 60 pounds. Wondering how my macros should be and if anyone has other tips that can help me? I plan to post regularly in this thread with updates to track my progress.
my blood pressure is slightly elevated (140’s over 90’s) as well as elevated cholesterol and blood sugar. My HDL is fairly low as well. Im 25 years old. Clear metabolic syndrome.
