RE: Chronic nocturia: Advice?
I think cortisol plays a role, so anything that lowers it may help.
If you've ever tried cyproheptadine, you know what I mean. Higher doses completely knock me out and I can sleep for 10 hours.
Taurine before bed induces deeper sleep (and vivid dreams) and consequently I wake up less during the night.
Glycine in higher doses (10g+) is worth trying also. It increases water retention when I take it but also helps sleep.

RE: New "Mission" of RPF
@risingfire said in New "Mission" of RPF:
I read a very interesting quote on the ray peat forum in one of the most recent threads:
"Here you go. Garrett Smith prefers sunflower oil , #ggenereux claims that coconut oil is no good because it delivers vit A all around your system and now biochemist Karen Hurd calls it coconut fad . Who would think...
Mitochondria converts saturated fat into unsaturated fat through the beta oxidation cycle , 6 step process, within which you create free-radical damage , that is radical oxidative species which damage your DNA within cells . Now you know why you have aging , gray hair , cancer ...
We alter our DNA because we have these free radicals because we had to turn bad fat (saturated) into a good fat (unsaturated)..."As far as I know, it's very rare for saturated fat to convert into unsaturated fats. I've only read one study where they needed technology to convert it.

Does anyone with a better understanding of biochemistry know if it's common for this conversion?
The SCD1 enzyme converts saturated into monounsaturated fat.

RE: Water retention and body temperature
I don't think I drink that much liquids usually, maybe half a liter of OJ, half a liter of coke (with real sugar), and half a liter of skim milk. Or do people here drink even less than that..?

Water retention and body temperature
Has anyone else noticed a connection between water retention and low body temp?
It's summer and very hot inside and I've also been spending time in the midday sun, but when I actually measure my temps they are often very low. Even though I'm sweating and feeling hot.
This seems to coincide with higher water retention; I can see it on the scale and it always causes lower back pain.
What would be good to try for
- increasing temps
- reducing water retention
I have experiment with T3 but can't seem to get consistent results. Salt does seem to work sometimes, but I have to eat more of it than I feel like eating.
My energy levels and mood are pretty good so this low body temp is confusing.

RE: Peaty bread alternatives?
@hypercashoidism said in Peaty bread alternatives?:
@revenant isn’t corn pretty metabolically bad though? afaik the main reason high fructose corn syrup is terrible is that the small amounts of corn which aren’t processed out, and this would have much larger amounts
i wonder if there’s an alternative to cornmeal in this recipe, it sounds good otherwise
I don't know why corn would be metabolically bad. Nixtamalized would be best, but even without it it's a staple in many countries.
Cassava flour (as used by Brad Marshall) would work also but it's not readily available where I live.

Yeah, but how were they taken? Importing the posts into something resembling a forum would make it easier to use.

If the forum comes back online, how would one take a backup of it?

RE: Peaty bread alternatives?
I've been making arepas lately, they are super simple to make. Mix harina de maiz (cornmeal), water and salt. Wait 5 minutes. Form into thick pancakes and fry on the pan.
No gluten and low in protein. I find it more easily digestible than breads (including sourdough).
