I figured out why the stereotypical Peat diet of fruit and dairy worked for me in the beginning and why things went really bad after awhile. I can now think more critically about everything. I don’t think i would have ever got to the point of having enough confidence to trust my own experience had I not found Peat’s writing.Any of Peat's principles that you still use?
Depends what your issues are from doing the Peat thing. If you’re like me and you’re left with a fat belly, proteinuria, chronically high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, hypogonadism, intolerability of pretty much all foods and a very bad gut biome, you will also be wondering where to go next.
Bear in mind that whereas I may have been cold when I first joined this forum (and didn’t feel overly healthy), I certainly didn’t have any of those problems above, which I consider to be warning signs that things are going very very wrong indeed. I’m sure I’m not the only one either. I bet there are loads of people on this forum who are suffering quietly because they don’t want to admit that they’ve failed with this. For me, I don’t really care though lol. I haven’t got any rep to protect.
Peat, and the people on this forum won’t have the answers for you. Because they will never put themselves in a position where they are medically advising people. People make suggestions, and some have been kind enough to do so in this thread.
The positives for me, from going Peat, have been that my temperatures are now amazing (bang solidly consistent), my pulse is great, my cognition and memory is the best it’s ever been. All signs of a thyroid that is humming along nicely. My TSH was pretty much 1 last time I had my labs done. 5 years ago it was very high indeed.
So yeah, where do you go from here?
If you discover what the answer is, please let me know.
What about high carb/low(ish) fat fruitarianism? Perhaps you could tweak it so it becomes more Peaty. Oh hang on, the food supply sucks. There goes that idea then. Plus fruit has to be eaten in bulk to satisfy hunger cravings, unless you want to turn into a stick insect.
Well, the fruit here in the U.K. is something that I wouldn’t even feed to my dog.
I might just go raw meat. The raw meat/eggs/milk crowd don’t seem to be doing too bad. Throw in a few oranges (maybe just the juice). They don’t look stressed to me.
I’m at that stage where I’m not bothered about turning into a complete social freak.
Are bad reactions to coffee mostly caused from bad liver?
Coffee with food helps a bit, but more then two cups i cant take... one makes problems also and leavs me bloated... also people who tolerate coffee can drink it always, food no food, day or night... and fall a sleep...
So?
There is mainstream, there is alternative, and then there is Peat, which is alternative even in alternative medicine. It's basically 180 degrees from mainstream, so if Peat stops working, where else is left to go?
I've been stagnating for over a year in terms of energy levels, focus, and fatigue, but what else is left to try?
Isn't brown rice high in arsenic?Amazing what a 100 g serving of watermelon, 1 oz of liver, an oyster or two, and 100 g of brown rice everyday will do for you in terms of energy, weight, mood, insomnia, and relieving chronic pain
All rice isIsn't brown rice high in arsenic?
I think my issue at the core is that all my carbs are going to lactic acid instead of CO2,
Have you attempted to add B-complex daily on top of that? Reason I ask because if not, a very good diet has serious trouble providing sufficient Bs to deal with one day let alone deal with the backlog of B-deficiencies that many of us have accumulated before adopting higher nutrient diets. Stress, poor diet, injury, infection, history of dieting, depletes B-vitamins substantially.
B3-dependency conditions where some people need high amounts of B3 just to feel normal.
I would fine-tune vitamins and minerals next, in particular B vitamins, magnesium, and manganese, all of which are critical to energy levels and your body using thyroid hormones properly. Amazing what a 100 g serving of watermelon, 1 oz of liver, an oyster or two, and 100 g of brown rice everyday will do for you in terms of energy, weight, mood, insomnia, and relieving chronic pain.
I thought brown rice was way higher than white rice.All rice is
I've read that white California rice is lower in arsenic. Lundberg's. And then, something about short or medium grain being better.I thought brown rice was way higher than white rice.
I figured out why the stereotypical Peat diet of fruit and dairy worked for me in the beginning and why things went really bad after awhile. I can now think more critically about everything. I don’t think i would have ever got to the point of having enough confidence to trust my own experience had I not found Peat’s writing.
I guess as far as diet related Peat principles go I still like to get plenty of glycine, eat adequate protein and use egg shell calcium. I don’t use seed oils. I’m just in solid good health now and not taking supplements or meds and I’m back at a good weight, body composition, solid metal health/cognitive function and energy level. That came from getting off excessive vitamin A and oxalate which wasn’t from Peat but things I probably wouldn’t have considered before.
I’m grateful for where I’m at especially considering I’ll be 50 soon. I appreciate him more as a teacher that teaches people to think critically and dig deep into their own circumstance rather than some infallible person who is always right about everything.
Edit: Peat also said (paraphrasing) that things shouldn’t make sense until they make perfect sense. I finally got to the point where my own past issues now make perfect sense to me and I know what I need to do to avoid those problems. It’s definitely going to be different depending on the person because there are so many areas where things can go wrong.
Just try harder. Eat more carrots salads, orange juice, cheese, milk, gelatin, liver etc.
This is the approach I took many years ago when Peating caused me to develop some pretty disturbing sensations. (eczema, head presurre, white coated tongue).
Ofcourse, trying harder and eating more strictly Peaty did nothing to improve my worsening health condition. So I decided I would just quit, at least until my health was somewhat better again. I decided to eat only white rice and meat for now, since these foods have absolutely no allergens in them. I was eating chicken-breast, turkey and beef for my meats. Within 3 days my white coated tongue was pink again, and I felt a sense of relief. I felt less brain-fogged. This was a big hint. My system was completely fine with meat and rice. Just give it a try, if it works for you and you want to know more google Grant Genereux.
