For the IT nerds:

You can try some short but intense sprints, doesn't have to be more than 3 or 4 at a time. A good way to change your body composition and it will also benefit your football training.

@dapose said in I love Dr. Peat so much:

Now who has a Peat tattoo? Let’s see em!

Pictures of people's nether regions aren't allowed here.

One of my favorites was when Mary Enig said something like "The only PhD Ray Peat has is a PhD in misinformation". And he replied something like "I don't know how she learned about my PhD in misinformation. I have never talked about it publicly." Nice humor.

I wonder why the houses of rich people are burning now. It used to be the hosues of normal/poor people and than the rich people would buy the land.

@Luke said in Just 1 minute of red light is effective:

almost 20 years now (back then for acne) and I never cared about the warnings not to look into it. I didn't shine it directly into the eyes intentionally, but I also never closed or covered them. And I'm the only one in my family, including extended family (aside from one cousin) who has good eyes and never needed glasses. Could have many reasons of course, but maybe the red light was a factor.

interesting. were you limiting your exposure all that time?

I never did more than 15 minutes a day or so, maximum 20. But I didn't limit it deliberately, I just didn't see the benefit in using it more.

@Serotoninskeptic said in Reasons for longevity in Japan?:

Do any of you remember the people Dr. Peat sometimes mentioned in interviews who ate almost nothing but potatoes/sweet potatoes all year, plus pork one week a year? He mentioned they had good muscle mass despite low protein, but I forgot whom he was talking about and I lost my notes.

Could it have been the Tukisenta?

"The diet of the Tukisenta in New Guinea was studied in 1973. Their diet consists almost entirely of sweet potatoes. The Tukisenta were lean, healthy, and had little to no sign of heart disease or other diseases of civilization"

Could be. I found the interview (part 1, it starts at 16:25): https://oneradionetwork.com/dr-ray-peat-ph-d-answering-a-plethora-of-questions-regarding-health-diet-and-nutrition-january-1-2014/

Altough I didn't understand what he was saying. Something with ...inions?

Edit:
Here is another one, starting at 01:13:00. That was the interview I remembered: https://oneradionetwork.com/dr-ray-peat-ph-d-got-milk-milk-is-a-good-food-really-july-18-2019/

Pacific islanders, so could be Tukisenta.

When Lindeberg examined the Kitava diet, he noticed they had a similar macronutrient ratio: ~ 70% carbs, 20% fat, 10% protein. Some fish and coconut, but mostly starchy tubers and fruit.

@castle said in Just 1 minute of red light is effective:

When we’re talking about reduced effectiveness from too much red/nir exposure, are we talking about actually reversing the benefit, or just wasting time

Probably depends on what benefits we are talking about.

From my own experience: Red-light exposure can be pretty stimulating and if I overdid it in the past, I would sometimes get some negative symptoms like fatigue or low blood sugar symptoms. I now treat it like a form of exercise. I make sure to have enough fuel in the system and I don't use it for more than ~ ten minutes a day, mostly less.

Some anecdotal evidence, since the effect on eye health was mentioned several times; I have used red light pretty regularly for almost 20 years now (back then for acne) and I never cared about the warnings not to look into it. I didn't shine it directly into the eyes intentionally, but I also never closed or covered them. And I'm the only one in my family, including extended family (aside from one cousin) who has good eyes and never needed glasses.
