Advice for an overweight peater starting his journey?
-
@brad RHR is healthy but am yet to measure temp. Will do!
-
What's your appetite like? How do you feel after having a ton of fruit/sugar?

If not, what does a good diet look like for someone like me attempting to kickstart my health after years of neglect?
Engaging in playful behaviors, no matter how small, can certainly lead the body into a healthy state. Something devilish like telling your twitter followers gn then firing off a few forum posts before bed can keep the mind and mitochondria engaged

Heal your liver before you start trying to consume insane amounts of sugar

@enjoyeroflife kickstarting is a very apt word and honestly I would say don’t eat like a normie because you have to do more to get there. Reading peat’s articles on specific targeted therapies will help. A good clue is gyno being an estrogen overload - what opposes estrogen? Pufas mimic estrogen too btw.
You will have tried the carrot salad…

@dannyphantom Solid advice Thankyou. Already avoiding PUFA’s at all costs (when eating meals prepared by my girlfriend’s family, I have no real choice) but will start the low fat grind. Ultimately, it didn’t feel right consuming the levels of fat I am currently, and I think eating what feels right and good is the most important of all

@Lukey I wouldn’t say I’m consuming massive amounts of sugar. A glass of milk most days, a mango (or similar amount of fruit) most days - and probably 5 tbsps of raw honey throughout the week.
But tips for healing the liver?
-
@rayp Any article suggestions? Honestly I get overwhelmed with the amount of resources!
-
@enjoyeroflife I think milk thistle and vitamin E and thiamine have been good for mine
-
@Lukey just recently started supplementing with liver guard (milk thistle) so seems like I’m on the right track

The ones I usually recommend to people new to Peat are:
- Caffeine: A vitamin-like nutrient, or adaptogen
- Coconut Oil
- Estrogen and brain aging in men and women
- Fats and degeneration
- Gelatin, stress, longevity
- Oils in Context Oils in Context
- Serotonin, depression, and aggression: The problem of brain energy
- The dark side of stress (learned helplessness)
- Vegetables, etc.—Who Defines Food?
I don't have any other advice for you besides what was already suggested above, just want to wish you good luck on your journey as well

Small thing, I lost a bit of weight and I haven't gained anything even though I don't work out as much. I honestly think it's because of using coconut oil.
