High Metabolism Weight Loss
-
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.

@torobravo I l've lost 20 lbs by just calorie restriction with peaty food and sups. It works, but it is slow. It's difficult to keep the metabolic rate, so look into diet breaks when you start to struggle with this approach.

Post in thread 'Ray Peat Email Advice Depository'
https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/ray-peat-email-advice-depository.1035/post-545770Question:
Dear Ray,
I wondered roughly what percentage of your daily calories come from fat, do you know? Or what percentage would you recommend most people consume coming from the common saturated fat sources?
Thank you.
Ray peat:
It depends partly on your metabolic rate and activity level, but you need enough carbohydrate to prevent ketosis. Generally using mainly carbohydrates for energy is better, because a higher respiratory quotient prevents reductive stress, the metabolism that can lead to diabetes, dementia, heart and kidney disease, cancer. I think it would be good to aim for 30% of calories or less. Milk with 1% fat is a good staple—the high calcium content helps to keep a higher metabolic rate.

Not really. High carb makes me hungry and I haven't seen much results with low fat milk or low fat in general. Lots of sunlight seems to help but between cold climate and chemtrails it's rare. There was a time I dropped a decent amount, I was eating yogurt and fruit daily. But that basically ended by winter which is >7 months where I'm at. My theory is lots of pufa early in life, stress, emf radiation are keeping things stagnant. I don't lift or run but have a lot of walking / physical work. I'm almost certain sugar is being stored as fat.
