Of course this is merely anecdotal and based on what people report, but many do follow Peat correctly. Not just on this forum but other places. Myself included. And many complain of health issues following this path (overweight, poor sleep, the requirement for supps to boost energy, etc). You’ve been around long enough to notice, surely. As I said, there is a lot I think Peat is spot on about so I’m not trying to throw the baby out with the bath water here. However there are some things that I believe are off the mark.I haven't really seen what you are talking about, people "following Peat to a tee," and then having health issues. Most don't put many of his suggestions into place (like OP, who apparently still eats bread and pasta everyday).
I have, however, seen plenty of examples of that with all major diets (including SAD, low carb, vegan, vegetarian, Paleo, Keto, and such).
How have you concluded this? I'm assuming because people have gone into a new forum or social platform and complained about the issues they had on the previous diet, or how good they feel now that they changed up, etc.. Or people that you know personally saying the same thing. Well this happens in the Peat sphere as well, albeit a lot less because "Peating" is tiny proportionally compared to vegan, paleo, keto etc.
I certainly haven't seen people dropping off like flies, that's such a silly statement. This is an open forum where people are free to come and go as they please.
Surely you've noticed quite outspoken people on this forum, and other platforms, discussing Peat and battling with a variety of subsequent health issues and then dropping off the map. Again, just my observations, nothing solid. Also, I know people personally, myself included, that have really given "Peating" a red hot go and fallen short. I now have incorporated many of his fundamental principles (the ones that I have found really work and are backed by solid science) into my life, while leaving other more dubious less evidential claims by the wayside. Each to their own though, and if you find everything Peat recommends works well for you then thats fantastic.
I see you've been at it for a while, how is your health if you don't mind me asking? Is there anything about Peat's paradigm that you have found doesn't work or do you find that everything in its entirety fits together well for you?
