High Metabolism Weight Loss
-
@GuantanamO-Shea I've actually been theorizing around using short grain rice since I found out that it's more easily digestible than normal long grain rice sold in stores in the US. I've tried medium grain rice and I digest better than long grain rice, so I thought short grain is the next step.
Do you have any more recommendations with regards to this method?

@secondkelping I have laid out my process a bit more in-depth here: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/422/fat-free-short-grain-rice-and-skimmed-milk-diet-highly-effective-for-fat-loss
But the main thing is just soaking the rice in boiling water for around an hour before cooking it, and then rinsing it in a colander or sieve. Clean off the starchy goo, then boil for 10 minutes. Add stock cube/pot for flavor as desired, or else flavour with a sauce after cooking.

On a low-calorie diet where you get the carbs your brain needs you should lose mostly fat.
I've heard Peat mention - NOT RECOMMEND - how someone who was eating a 500-600 calorie crash diet but was losing mostly fat by getting adequate minerals.
I do not know what minerals he was talking about but probably large amounts of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D, which are in his own words "The most powerful weight loss nutrients there are" since they suppress PTH and inflammation.Slow and steady fat loss is key especially when the fat is from years of eating PUFA in order not to overload the system with excess unsaturated fatty acids that will be released from fat stores.
An occasional coconut oil tablespoon (as in the carrot salad) gives your body a break from constant PUFA attacks and so is helpful in fat loss.Restoring oxidative metabolism like @mostlylurking mentioned is also very important. A sugar based diet should increase the metabolic rate in a healthy animal/human, but I do not think it applies when you're too fat and living off fat oxidation (paradoxical yes but blame estrogen).
Try to keep track of your metabolic rate as it's probably the driving force behind fat loss/gain: After breakfast underarm temps of at least 37C and pulse rate of 85BPM. Use this to know if your caloric deficit is too steep.
Tldr: Caloric deficit diet based on low fat milk and OJ with enough vitamin D is king. I'd add plenty salt, glycine, fruit(simple sugars), recreational weightlifting and walks in sunlight.

I am not overweight but looking to loose a few pounds. I am going to try the Mentzer macros 60C/25P/15F style. Not exactly a Peaty approach but want to try a high carb moderate protein low fat diet. Supplemented by Creatine, some B vits, baking soda, aspirin etc.

@torobravo idk if durianrider protocol works but he basically says it's as easy as not eating fats
-
@PissBoy When you say a caloric deficit diet based on low fat milk and OJ, is that literally all you're supposed to eat? No protein or starch? I'm trying to lose weight but I eat sufficient protein and starch in addition to milk and oj, so I assume something has to go
-
@raytreats Protein is also vital, milk has plenty of good protein, but adding gelatin is an easy way to add more. Thyroid supplementation can have 0 effect without sufficient protein.
Starch is difficult as its so individual. In my experience starch adds gastric discomfort meaning endotoxin and it doesnt help with weight loss. If you eat everything (whole milk, fatty meats, candy, juices, starch) all together without tracking macros you will probably get fat or some metabolic disorder. -
I think he would suggest lo fat ie 1% milk rather than skim(0%)

A very easy fat loss approach is to simply eat a zero fat diet.
Without any dietary fat coming in all bodily processes that require fat must be taken from fat stores.
You can do this diet in short bursts or strict for up to one month, simply eat 2000-4000 calories of carbohydrates and a few times a week of lean protein sources/zero fat dairy. The calorie count does not matter as all excess carbohydrates must be burned off as excess energy. Just do not under eat as the goal is to raise metabolism and utilize fat faster.

This is a decent thread with lots of good suggestions showing there’s more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.
I myself have used 16oz of skim milk sweetened with honey or dextrose all day with a “normal dinner” to lose weight in the past. It’s great for me because I don’t feel restricted at all, (since I get variety out of my dinner). Dinner might be oysters and jasmine rice, or beef and butternut squash, or a smoked cheeseburger, (that I fill with gelatin to offset the amino profile) and potatoes, homemade masa tacos, I got a crinkle cutter and a few times a year I even make homemade French fries in beef tallow, (this is not a staple).
As long as I stick to milk and honey/dextrose throughout the day, I can still lose weight at 3000-3200 cals eating whatever I want for dinner.
