I need at least 150g for satiation and to function well the next day.

I can’t do starch free or I feel horrible the next day. Like very very low energy. Plus for some reason my respiratory system gets completely stuffed and paralysed when I do starch free.

So I need minimum 150g.

But I don’t like digesting them. Like I love the power I get from fruit white sugar and coffee and tons of water. Having digestion messing up with this blend angers me.

I want to know your recommendations …

How many grams a day ? Your energy …

Thanks !!!

From your experience, has it been more expensive than your pre-Peating diet?

not saying everything he says is true. but his ideas about natural vs unnatural and stress seem appealing. his notion about slavery and the biochemical associations with lifestyle that hes after. full liberation. what do we think my niggas

I used to think it was poison but then i did some research on it. It truly is not a big deal. It just ends up as aspartic acid which is a good amino acid, especially for testosterone

Ive been having some trouble where i starve myself instead of eating all kinds of stuff like PUFAs yk what i mean. I have no idea if what im doing is right or wrong, any help is appreciated thx.

Any indian peaters here? What would be the best source for things like T3, progesterone, dht etc here?

I enjoy nicotine in both white snus and cigs, i very rarely smoke cigs but when i do i have no issues, but when i do snus i often get cravings for sugar alongside it or just feel very tired and unwell if i havent eaten enough with it, is this because of the stress response from the nicotine or should i just lower dose? (I am trying to lose a bit of body fat so i wanna use nicotine for this aswell)

can somebody please tell me if its the right address. https://raypeat.com/articles/

I am new to this lifestyle. I have used wild yam cream before but I am not sure it it is good for me. I have pmdd and endometriosis.

I just ate a plate of leftover rice in dinner. 1 hour 30mins passed. Still didnt notice any symptomps about bacillus cereus. What should i do now? Im curious of your experiments.

I've been having the carrot salad everday for a while, and my doctor noticed my skin is yellowing because of the keratin. While this isn't a problem healthwise, aesthetically I think I'd like to take a break from it. Does anyone have experience with it? Have you replaced the carrot salad with something else?

That helps you fall back to sleep

A letter to Kim Jon UN's daughter, the inheritor of Korea.

When I was 15, I saw a video of your father smoking a cigarette watching A test demo of a nuclear bomb going off in the ocean and it was the single most meaningful moment of my life.

Right in the ocean.

Your father is a great man. I have heard many terrible accusations thrown against your father, yet I have never seen a single piece of evidence of poor character. I have only read accusations. I have not seen, with my eyes, anything other than a man who is leading an entire nation. I would call him dignified but he is above the very description of that word. He is dignity itself. There are tigers and there are fowl. Do you know which one tastes better? 

There are hurtful words thrown against every world leader. Do not let the hurtful words thrown against him have any effect on you. I am sure they won’t, as they do not have any effect on him.

How many men are born to inherit an entire nation? No man is responsible for the past, or the future, but they are responsible for today. Your father is leading today, and I know you will lead by his example.

North Korea saved the world by the way

I've always been quite susceptible to colds and the flu, and when I got sick I would blame it on something I had recently indulged in with added sugar. Over the past few years I started fasting and reducing carbs and eating high fat, and I definitely saw health benefits but I still got sick fairly frequently.

More recently for the past 5 months or so I've been increasing my carb intake and reducing fat intake. Carbs come mostly from fruits and honey and starches. I cook everything from scratch with clean ingredients, and I've reduced whole-food sources of PUFAs (I stopped using seed oils many years ago). I'm cautiously optimistic that my immune system is working better now, possibly as a result of better mitochondrial function and energy availability for the immune system. There have been a lot of severe colds and influenza strains going around recently, but I have only felt a bit off for a day or so, or got a brief mild cold, but nothing that knocked me out for a week or more like I used to get. Any similar experiences here?

I’ve been reading Ray Peat’s arguments against omega 3s, and there’s one point I can’t reconcile with modern lipid biology.

Peat argues that DHA is inherently harmful because it’s highly unsaturated and readily undergoes lipid peroxidation, producing damaging oxidation products.
However, from what I’ve read, the body appears to actively and selectively transport DHA into the brain. The main omega 3 in the brain and retina is DHA, not EPA. DHA can circulate as lysophosphatidylcholine-DHA (LPC-DHA), and the blood brain barrier contains a specific transporter, MFSD2A, that efficiently transports LPC-DHA into the brain. EPA, on the other hand, crosses the blood brain barrier much less efficiently and accumulates very little in brain tissue.

So this doesn’t seem like passive accumulation, the body appears to have evolved a dedicated mechanism to deliver DHA specifically to the brain.

If DHA is primarily harmful because it’s so susceptible to oxidation, why would evolution develop a specialized transporter to concentrate it in one of our most important organs instead of using more oxidation resistant fats?
Is the current understanding simply that DHA’s functional benefits (membrane fluidity, neuronal signaling, retinal function, etc.) outweigh its oxidation risk, with antioxidants and repair systems managing the downside? Or is there another explanation that I’m missing?

If I’ve calculated my maintenance to be around 2500 calories. Will eating 2500 calories at around 450g carbs, 140g protein, and 25g fat allow me to lose fat/weight?

The diet is basically fruit, yoghurt, milk, OJ, potatoes, bit of coco oil, carrot salad.

What are people’s thoughts and experiences on HCLF?

Hello everyone, I am 15 and I have just recently been informed about Ray Peat, and his teachings on health and nutrition. What are the biggest things you guys would recommend me to focus on, so I don’t get confused and can properly use his teachings to benefit me as much as possible. I am also interested in this diet as Apparently it can help your mental as-well, thankyou everyone !

I wanna see the idea behind the diets and see if i can structure mine accordingly, really curious what yall got
