What are non-Peaty things you still do?

@Mulloch94 would you ever consider taking nitric oxide precursors? I used to take them for pre-workouts, hadn’t noticed for sure if they ever created issues for me or not.

@TopicalsOnBalls I've experimented with citrulline malate, seemed to augment or otherwise synergize well with dopaminergic compounds. Sort of makes sense considering they both have antagonistic effects on prolactin.
-
@TopicalsOnBalls I've had the best experience with phosphodiesterase inhibitors. I prefer the route of increasing cAMP and cGMP. It's probably safer, considering with direct precursors you have less control on what types of NO are being created. PDE-4's will increase nNOS which will stimulate the hypothalamus to release GnRH, which is essential for androgen synthesis. Of course, PDE-5's will increase eNOS, and improve endothelial health. I've tried both pharma and botanical PDE's with little to no preference for either. I actually think oat straw is the best PDE-4, easy to get too. It also inhibits MAO-B. So it's dopaminergic as well. Low dose Cialis is the best PDE-5 in my opinion. Cialis will also antagonize the aromatase, another plus.

Probably the biggest thing is I'm unsure how committed I am to the nitric oxide stuff. I think it's probably good to limit some types of nitric oxide (like iNOS) because they increase endotoxin and permeability. But increase or at least maintain other types of nitric oxide, like eNOS.
When you dive a little deeper, there's actually some common "peaty" things that increase eNOS too, like mildronate. And even thyroid itself according to this https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332220300718
Everytime I play with nitric oxide I get a killer migraine

I eat raw fish, salmon roe, proscuitto, pork rinds fried in pork lard.

I wear socks with some polyester.

@fiester What did you use to increase it? I've gotten headaches from stuff like sildenafil before, and I don't think it's a very good drug. Tadalafil is better because it can be dosed as low as 2.5mg and still be effective.

Getting upset and depressed and hopeless about the state of humanity.

Beets/beetroot powder or garlic. I have less issues with garlic. I do my best to eat rather than supplement. It's possible that there's something else in the beets affecting me, but everytime I tried it I got a mirgraine within half an hour.

Taking iodine
Hating women
Doing eccentrics
Take amphetamines
Kratom sometimes
Avoiding animal sources of vitamin A (except some butter here and there) -
@fiester Interesting. I may try beetjuice soon to see how it effects me. I've never tried it before because I simply don't like beets. But if I had to take a wild guess, it may be due to the fact it's increasing nitric oxide TOO much. Since beets can directly stimulate it's synthesis. Whereas PDE-inhibitors will only prevent the breakdown of NO.

@thyroidchor27 Hating Women??

Adding you all to my fake peaters list.

I eat a bunch of starch.
Brown rice and bread are my staples. Always paired with some animal fat and protein.
I find that no-starch ruins my hormones, and I lose the depth of power in my voice.
I notice that people who restrict starch tend to have weak voices. Peat, Shawn Baker, Paul Saladino are notable examples.
You can eat all the meat in the world and have nice big muscles to show for it, but when a man opens his mouth and speaks, I’ll know exactly how masculine he is.
I believe Peat was able to get away with no starch because he didn’t have to do any physical work in the world. He could just sit around and drink milk and coffee and let his brain fire at hyper speed diving into metabolic science.
Humans evolved though having to traverse the physical realm, hunting and digging for food. This level of energy output requires very functional muscles in tandem with in tack cognitive functioning. Caloric density on top of high quality nourishment drove our evolution.

i regularly goon and edge, i try to take bromocriptine on those days that i do, if i can remember.

@oldchem I think the fruit heavy recommendation only really works in warmer climates. You do get fruit in colder countries of course, but the ones you do get are unripe and fibrous, doing more harm than good. More meat and more starch is the natural conclusion to that difference in food availability.

I still sporadically (1-2 times a month) eat nuts. I sometimes get a craving for a particular kind (like Brazilian or pistachio); I believe there must be some nutrients in them I'm benefiting from despite the PUFA content.
