The salmon, avocado, and rice are a good balance of fat, protein, and carbohydrate; maybe fat cheese could be substituted for the salmon sometimes.
Wait, what

I don't think he is. I think he's explaining what it is about his combination that might explain why it seemed helpful, and suggesting something else (cheese) that might be preferable to salmon.Usually I think people can misunderstand RP as saying only a select few foods are okay, but in this case I'm a little thrown off. I wouldn't expect him to suggest that anyone eats salmon or avocado.
That's how I read it too.In fact, he is suggesting an alternative, simply and politely in keeping with his utterly anti-authoritarian approach. He is responding to my question of why this combination might quieten a hyper-active brain within this context, not - necessarily - its further applicability for others.
The dry skin and weak pulse suggest very low thyroid function. The salmon, avocado, and rice are a good balance of fat, protein, and carbohydrate; maybe fat cheese could be substituted for the salmon sometimes. Both sugar and fat stimulate the digestive system hormone that stimulates brain cell renewal. Progesterone helps to reduce tension and excitation, and protects nerves. Pregnenolone reduces stress, and protects nerves.
Agreed. I am someone that used to eat salmon from 2013-2015 pretty regularly, despite not loving the taste due to how "healthy" it was. Thank god for Ray Peat, man.Not to mention salmon tastes disgusting.
The responses here are both hilarious and sad.
Ray says the combination is a good one, and people chime in with “what he really meant is it’s evil, it will kill you and He would never eat that”.
In one radio interview his suggestion for living a healthier life is to eat more varied and interesting meals. And yet people here drink half a gallon of OJ and milk a day and freak out about going to a restaurant
Depends on your context/resources. If you are in poverty and required to live on a mono diet of rice, I think brown rice will provide the necessities of life for longer. I think I may have read of cases of serious deficiency diseases showing up that demonstrated this.Avocado once a week is okay.
Salmon once a week is okay.
However brown rice seems bad all the time.

I eat a little salmon sushi maybe once a month because I love it, and occasionally socially if someone else serves it. I always enjoy the taste, but I don't think it does me good to eat much of it. Delicious. :) I'm sure I could get sick of it if I overate it.I encourage you to eat salmon biweekly for a year and see how you feel.
