Peato Diet
Member
Up until 2 weeks ago I had been on a low carb 'GAPS diet' for about 9 months e.g.
• Low carb i.e. no sugar, fruit, grains, rice, potatoes etc.
• Calories from carbs replaced by fat in the form of coconut oil and butter.
• Lots of fermented foods in the form of fermented vegetables and kefir.
• Lots of soups made from bone broth.
• Meats and some liver.
(In Ray Peats view this is a very stressful diet).
The reason I went on the GAPS diet was to see if it would help my 'brain fog', low energy levels and some eczema.
The results after 9 months on the GAPS diet where my skin cleared completely for the first time in years (I haven’t had any skin issues for about 7 - 8 months). My 'brain fog' symptoms improved. My Energy levels could be better but I didn’t experiment with adding sugars in the form of fruit etc. which may have helped.
However lately I’ve recently been eating 'Peat style', who I came across via Danny Roddy. I’m starting to lose hair so I was interested in Dannys/Peats theories in regard to hair loss.
Within two weeks on the 'Ray Peat diet' things are not looking good:
• My eczema has come back already.
• My 'brain fog' symptoms seem to be getting worse.
• Physical and emotional energy is not as smooth/steady.
• I get bouts of sweating where my clothes are soaking.
There has been a minor benefit however:
Strength gains and more energy in the gym (I put on about a stone in weight in the first week which I think is mostly water and glycogen as a result of going from pretty much a zero carb diet to having lots of carbs).
I know a lot of Peats theories contradict with what is being said in the paleo community etc. on topics such as fructose, ketosis, pasteurised milk, hi carb , sugar etc, but I was wondering if anyone has any idea (from a Ray Peat point of view) why my health seems to be taking a turn for the worse
I feel im eating fairly well in accordance to Peats guidlines. I’ve been drinking about 4 pints of organic pasteurised whole milk (can’t get raw) along with equal amounts of OJ (no bits), honey, daily carrot salad, some meats (no chicken), some organ meat etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
