So, what's keeping us from conceiving of a "Peatish Way of Eating" as very similar to an old-school, macrobiotic, Rice Centered Diet?

Those with digestive issues may want to stick to more digestible carbohydrates like fruit.

http://raypeatforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=168Peat never specifies how many potatoes you can eat or how many times a week you can eat rice. I assume he thinks they are fine in pretty much any quantity if tolerated, you just want to get the majority of your carbohydrates from fructose, sucrose or lactose. He says roots and tubers are second best to fruits.
He also says oats are fine if well cooked.

Here's an email I sent to ray awhile ago
"How many grams of cooked starchy food(old potatoes,plantains) do you think is safe in the diet?"
His answer"There isn't enough information to judge, but a fair part of the carbohydrate should be in the form of sucrose, fructose, and/or lactose. If it's well cooked, and eaten with butter, it's probably safe for many people."
