SAD diet and Ray Peat

[iLoveSugar]

When switching from a SAD diet, to the likes of Ray Peat, what are some things often missed? As in- what do people usually forget to eat more of. Salt? Sugar? Any particular vitamins?

Hope this isn't confusing.

I have read others who take Glycine. Why would one choose this over gelatin? I for one, don't like gelatin.

"In hibernating animals, the stress of a declining food supply causes increased serotonin production. In humans and animals that don’t hibernate, the stress of winter causes very similar changes. Serotonin lowers temperature by decreasing the metabolic rate. Tryptophan and melatonin are also hypothermic. In the winter, more thyroid is needed to maintain a normal rate of metabolism." -RP

And what the others said

Glycine helps balance tryptophan. If there is an imbalance from too much muscle meat it is stressful on the body. Historically we ate the whole animal which contained more glycine. So balancing muscle meat with glycine or preferably gelatin results in less serotonin.
