Re: The Weight-Loss Miracle Discovered by Ray Peat
But assuming those postulates to be true, then I think my takeaway follows.
mitochondria uncoupling -> increased metabolic rate -> increased end-tidal CO2 ->(implied) miracle weight loss
As far as the "miracle" goes, DNP really was a miracle weight loss drug in the 30s. It's just not available now.** Mitochondrial uncoupling is the real deal when it comes to weight loss, and remedying metabolic disorders. And Peat is trying hard to show us all how to do it.
*SAFarmer might point out, it would be better, yes, if I measured my metabolic rate in a metabolic chamber, but that's not practical, unless you live in SA like him and have an open source metabolic chamber.
**You might know better than me, since your pic in the GR thread makes you look like a bodybuilder, but in the underground bodybuilding community, there might be some who (illicitly!) cut with DNP and get miraculous results.
I think you're right, I am using some scientific postulates to prop up the argument, namely, that mitochondrial uncoupling raises metabolic rate, which in turn is measurable by end-tidal CO2. There is not much controversy about this, I hope, or that I've seen.*aquaman said:You definitely have a lot to add on the forum, but how can you say this when you have not lost weight/fat through this yourself? You answered my question about fat loss by saying you know because you've tested your own CO2 levels.visionofstrength said:Takeaway: not only do small frequent doses of Peat's uncouplers cause rapid weight loss, perhaps more potently than DNP, but his diet lets you gain lean body mass, while you are losing fat at the same time! Lose fat, get ripped, feel great... It's all good!
It's back to the conjecture with lots of exclamation marks.
IT'S A MIRACLE!
