may I ask why not tortillas ? (favourite Dr Peat's food)No I don't eat tortillas. The problem with calcium balancing phosphorus is that phosphorus binds to calcium and takes it out the body so you really have double down on calcium to have enough leftover for your teeth and bones. Most people don't even get the minimum days worth much less Ray Peat's suggested amount.
"Recent studies in young women have shown that a high phosphorus diet moderately low in calcium results in a mild secondary hyperparathyroidism that persists over 4 weeks.
The effects of high phosphorus intake on calcium homeostasis - PubMed
Survey data confirm that the dietary pattern of many American women who are at high risk of developing osteoporosis is typically high in phosphorus and low in calcium. The imbalance between calcium and phosphorus intake may become more pronounced with continued changes in food preferences and...pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Ray gave up ALL starches for about 5 years for a reason, starches CAN, not necessarily does, create a multitude of issues. I mostly don't eat masa because I can only find pure masa tortillas with guar gum, and making my own with just masa and has not been successful yet. With that being said, I am not opposed to an occasional blueberry masa pancake splurge, and love every minute of it. I find that when i eat starches they make me too relaxed and craving more of them. Sugar sources don't have that same effect. I stay energized and burn through my food quicker which enables me to fit in a lot more protein, to maintain my good muscle tone.
Ok R&R - you convinced me to finally try it out. It’s some how just doesn’t feel right not to eat starches, probably from all the conditioning over the years. I always struggled with GI issues since a young age, I avoid gluten since it makes me feel like ***t, celiac disease still has to be excluded via biopsy (blood panel was negative. The only starch I eat is rice , but I feel like it makes me sleepy afterwards. The most I went without starch was one day. We’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the input! ?
Ray doesn't consider corn tortillas as starches , he defenitely keeps them on his menu list
What's the per server fiber count of that cereal?
Hey R&rP! :) I tried to follow it as strictly ad possible, but couldn’t follow it 100% and “cheated” with rice and potatoes a few times. I still have some oxalate issues which are slowly improving so it’s hard to track symptoms, but one thing is sure - the blood sugar is more stable and I don’t need as much carbs to reach that state. The drowsiness after meals is gone. Also I’m much more calm, which I always struggled with before. Bloating is reduced also. I’ll try to follow it as much as possible, but still gonna eat comfort food while eating out on occasion (which is rare) or on family gatherings.How is your starch free diet going Sulcuscentralis?

Here he is saying how yesterday he ate toasted taco with melted cheese. So he didn't stop eating tortillas ... no way he would give up on them.“Around 1988 I read Gerhard Volkheimer’s persorption article, and after doing some experiments with tortillas and masa, I stopped eating all starch except for those, then eventually I stopped those. Besides grains of starch entering the blood stream, lymph, and cerebral spinal fluid, starch feeds bacteria, increasing endotoxin and serotonin.” -Ray Peat
Why is Ray pro tuber but anti-starch? Most tubers contain a large amount of starch....

Hey Rinse, I may have missed it, but do you add frozen fruit to your meals of shrimp, meat etc -- for carbs? Do you add white sugar to the frozen fruit? Your meals look great!
