No. And even if he voices everything I think is good or that I agree with, I still realise he’s controlled.

Maybe. I know exactly what you are saying. But blinding animosity can cause you to miss a few things. Because now, Tucker has created a platform that provides a bully pulpit for controversial people and their perspectives.
There's this one: Dave Smith: Russia, Israel, Trump & the Swamp, Obama, and the Media Attacks on Joe Rogan I had never heard of Dave Smith before.
And this one: Rep. Thomas Massie Reveals Deep State Secrets and Teaches You How to Live Off-Grid Massie is the only one in Congress who doesn't have an AIPAC handler. After that interview, Massie's wife "died suddenly, from an allergic reaction".
It appears that Tucker and the people he showcases via his interviews are pissing off some powerful people.
“Blinding animosity”?
I have no bias or side. It’s just what I see.

@revenant said in Calorie deficit but gaining fat?:
I've been trying various combinations of carbs/fat, calories and exercise and measuring my body composition. I'm 182cm and 95kg. BMR formulas say my expenditure is 2600 kcal.
What is worrying is that regardless of calorie intake, I seem to be putting on fat mass week by week. With exercise, I put on muscle also, but losing fat seems almost impossible. I try to eat 80-120g of protein per day and keep carbs high (200-500g) and fat low (30-50g).
During one week I ate almost 3000 kcal per day and walked for an hour per day. Muscle mass stayed pretty much the same but fat mass was increased by 0,5kg.
During another week I ate 1800 kcal per day, no exercise. I lost 1kg of muscle and added 1kg of fat. Fat intake was about 50g per day.
How is it possible to put on a kilo of fat if fat intake on that week was only 350 grams? De novo lipogenesis should not have contributed much since carbs were way under 500 grams.
According to mainstream science, it's not possible for muscle cells to convert to fat cells, but since the opposite is possible, I wonder if muscle to fat is also possible: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8290478/
This is just my experience, but now that I have been bumping up my saturated fat, mostly from dairy, I have lost 5 lbs.
I avoid Pufa oils of course.
I’m actually eating about 1,000 calories more than when I was starving myself.
Maybe focus on that. It also has increased my body temperature.
I eat carbs. but when I ate too many I didn’t lose.
There’s something about the dairy fat that our body’s like and use.

Ozempic being a polymer”
A search for Ozempic is a "polymer" yielded this: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-09-ozempic-social-media-weight.html
"Ozempic is in short supplyOzempic contains the active ingredient semaglutide. It is a prescription-only drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. One side effect of taking it is significant weight loss. This has led to so many people trying to obtain the drug there have been shortages.
Instead, some people have turned to more easily accessible over-the-counter alternatives to try to lose weight. That includes berberine, which has been dubbed "nature's own Ozempic."
What is 'budget Ozempic?'"Budget Ozempic" is different to "nature's own Ozempic." It is the polymer polyethylene glycol 3350, or PEG 3350 for short.
Chemically, it's similar to other polymers used as ingredients in cosmetics, drug delivery, archaeological preservative paints, soaps and even missile fuel. It's not to be confused with ethylene glycol, which is used in antifreeze."
-end paste-The world has gone stark raving mad.
The article didn’t make it specific. Does Semiglutide in the expensive Ozempic have PEG?
Or just the “budget” version? Or both?
I agree with you that the world (especially since 2020 when certain things were introduced into the population) has gone mad.

@mostlylurking ozemptic being a polymer is very patentable and impossible to manufacture by small groups or individuals. I don't know enough about it, but appetite suppressors have been cheap and could be available to anyone.

What do you mean about “ Ozempic being a polymer”?
Just from various things I’ve read about it, it really is quite dangerous. People have died from it.
But they’re keeping that bit of information on the down low because it makes so much money for big Harma.
Always, the money.
@Atman said in What to do as a giga fatty?:
Go for a walk (~1 hour+) everyday.
This is much more enjoyable and healthy than running.In addition, once or twice a week, do some moderate strength training, for example bodyweight exercises with good form and low speed. 20 minutes per session is all it takes. You can read "body by science" if you are interested in the theoretical background and details of that recommendation.
In 6-12 months, you will be transformed, 110 kg isnt that bad.
I’ve really come to appreciate not destroying my body through intense extreme exercize. There is a lot to be said just ENJOYING a walk….not trying to get in as many steps as you can to reach some made up goal, or exercizing as fast as you can to burn more calories or whatever.
You’ll eventually burn yourself out.
Stopping and smelling the roses, enjoying nature WITHOUT STRESS has great value on one’s psyche and heals your body.

I've long discarded CICO. A waste of time. The body knows. Trusts its wisdom to say enough. A body in balance and well-regulated internally stops eating when it is full. It does not get hungry in between the 3 meals it gets in a day. It has energy during daytime and it sleeps soundly at night. It does not get overweight nor underweight. And burns enough calories internally it does not need much exercise to stay trim and fit.
Only in highly educated circles do people lose sight of common sense and have to waste their time measuring calories like they have nothing else to do. Being highly educated only guarantees you get an expensive piece of paper to show credulous people you know something more than they do.
If you have to count calories, then you cant possibly be healthy at all.
I so agree. CICO is a big disappointment because the weight will always come back. Your body hates to starve. It hates deprivation. It will fight you forever after you’ve lost the weight. Being kind to one’s body, (meaning eat enough calories and the right kind of calories) will serve you in a superior way.
I wish I had known this in my 20’s. I was forever starving myself trying to be an imaginary perfect size. I wasn’t even over weight. But starving oneself catches up to you as you get older and your screwed up metabolism is the price you pay.
Personally, and this is big for me, I’ve reached a point where I can eat a lot more calories now and not gain weight. That was unheard of before for me. And now my body temperature stays elevated. Just by nourishing my body. And by eating the RIGHT saturated fat.
Avoid PUFAS like the plague. They are in everything. Science is catching up to Ray Peat. They are finding now that PUFAS are implicated in cancer. And other maladies.
CICO is very flawed. If you don't follow CICO, it's because your body uses both sugar and fat intakes efficiently such that what is eaten is mostly turned into kinetic energy to meet the needs of the here and now, and only a small portion is stored as potential energy. Think of the potential energy as being mostly in the form of fats.
When sugar taken in cannot be quickly processed into energy, it accumulates as high blood sugar. Only for high blood sugar to be lowered by converting the sugar to fats.
So much so that when this happens each times one eats, one would keep adding fats and gain weight, and at the same times, as what he eats does not turn into useful energy (kinetic), he will have little energy as well as be hungry. So he could eat again out of hunger, and becaue he is hungry, he doesn't have a choice but to eat again, and gain more weight as he eats again.
This person will end up obese over time with no control over it. Over time, the body will adapt by requiring less food from him, as it downregulates his metabolism. But by then he is a blob, and will be desperate to try anything to lose weight. He will do all the wrong things to lose weight from fasting to eating less carbohydrates in favor of fats and protein.
It's wrong because by fasting he will be geting keep depriving the body of energy that he is already lacking to sustain his long term health.
And in relying more on eating fats he will come to rely more on glycolysis for burning carbohydrates, and this metabolic pathway is wasteful because it produces little useful energy, and because it produces little carbon dioxide which is needed to provide good tissue oxygenation, which is needed if ever energy production has to be more efficient to give more useful energy. Energy is the currency of health, and with a recurring lack of it one would descend into an existence where little energy is required of him, and he might as well spend his life hibernating.,if that is possible at all. Since it isn't possible, he will be on a downward spiral of degeneration as his tissues and organs slowly die and fail, if he isn't overtaken by cancer or a stroke.
And if he should go on a carnivore diet, he will just have to rely on adrenaline and cortisol to convert protein to much needed sugar, and while his blood sugar will not go thru its highs and lows, as sugar becomes available on demand and is never going to be too much to handle, he will be chronically on stress mode, while his immunity suffers as cortisol destroys his thymus gland, and his system gets to deal with a high ammonia load that brings about higher nitric oxide.
This really leaves us with not much choice but to go back to a high carb nutritional lifestyle as the other options are flawed. So if we are left to eat high carb, how is CICO going to be useful when people's bodies treat carbohydrates very differently?
The healthy and trim ones process sugar very well and the carbohydrates quickly gets metabolized in the mitochondria and produces a lot of energy. Not much sugar is left in the blood in excess to cause them to be converted to fats, and the low insulin levels of good blood sugar regulation allows lipolysis to occur such that body fat is used up and not allowed to accumulate to cause obesity and overweight.
On the other hand, those who become overweight and obese absorb and metabolize sugar very slowly, and their carbohydrate intakes keep getting converted to fats in a never-ending cycle of gaining weight and fat stores.
Clearly, because calories can either end up as active energy that does not weigh much as it is eventually used up, or as potential energy in the form of fats, how does CICO make sense?
Perhaps it makes sense, only in terms of applying to each individual context. Such that my CICO and your CICO are different from one another.
Such that you can apply CICO to yourself. But if you're easily trim and don't require much exercise while eating regular meals, you won't care about CICO.
You're only going to want to deal with CICO only if you're overweight or obese.
But this begs the question, would it better not to deal with CICO, but instead work on improving your sugar mtabolism so that you can be like the trim person who eats 3 full meals a day, doesn't have to walk 10k steps each day, and still maintain a normal weight?
People who criticize Peat’s recommendations for eating a certain way, saying that all they did was get fat from it etc. etc. is probably because they approached what he was suggesting, the wrong way.
Ray didn't provide a way, to be fair. He was talking from the perspective of someone whose body has not been destroyed by a modern lifestyle based on the myths of modern pharma medicine, where what is good for us is taught to us as bad, and vice versa.
Some very impressionable and credulous people just went hog wild on Coke and white sugar, and starch came to be seen as a pariah, just because Ray Peat said grains come with toxins that are put there by plants to keep animals from consuming them. But these idiots have themselves to blame for not seeing the positives in starches. As starches are very useful, especially the ones that come with fiber, as it would be useful for people whose blood sugar tend to rise because they cannot handle a sudden large load of sugar, as what happens with eating white sugar, many fruits, and honey.
With one broad brush, some came to avoid everything that is considered starch, even those that are not grain-based. Such as the root-based starch and even fruit-based starch (plantains).
Some have gut issues that make it hard to take starches, and they have a harder time with starches. But still, it is their gut they need to first work on as well as their inability to process white sugar well. But there are no coaches to guide them as most coaches are still on their own learning curves.
But there is a method to the madness, but even when someone has a way, his way is not easy to explain and implement, as it involves taking into account the context of each individual. The more nuance to it, the harder it is to understand and to get sold to something, especially where a magic bullet is not available, but instead a road map that involves patience, as there is a process to it, and it involves some thinking to break through some thought barriers.
PERCEIVE. THINK. ACT. Just becomes an empty mantra that with each day becomes like a uses up slogan that has lost its meaning.
“Ray didn’t provide a way”…..
Yeah, that’s a good point….people have to find their own way towards good health. And it’s a lot of trial and error to get there. But if quality health metabolically speaking, really is your goal, and you’re not settling for a quick fix, you will eventually get there. If you really want it. Or, you will have achieved an improved way of life….if you hang in there…
I think a lot tried something but then gave up…because they didn’t see instantaneous results in a their new way of eating. …..you have to continue to see the nuances of what Ray was saying. Not give up and throw the baby out with the bathwater because something didn’t work….
When I first examined a lot of what Peat had written, I couldn’t fully wrap my mind around a lot of it. But I’ve persisted and applied a lot of the ideas and have become what I consider, healthier and thriving.
Ray had really good pieces of the puzzle.
As I’ve said elsewhere, he was a pioneer going against the establishment “grain”.
I’ve come to realise that he was so right about a lot of what he wrote. I kinda marvel at that.
@WarmthofGod
You can make your own buttermilk very easily by just adding a tbsp. of vinegar to a cup of milk.
Then let it sit for 10 minutes or so. It should thicken up.
Now you have buttermilk.
I can eat starch with fat and have no problem. I don’t gain weight. But if I eat too much sugar I seem to gain.
I can eat fruit also because it has the fiber and seems to lower the response. But too much fruit juice makes me gain.
Honey in moderation is also no problem for me.
I think there’s a limit to how much sugar one’s liver can handle.
@GreekDemiGod said in Starch is truly slave food:
Idk, I see plenty of starch eating people in my country enjoying a vibrant and healthy youth in their 20s and 30s, at least. Being energetic, euphoric, extroverted, lean, with clear skin, good looking with developed maxilla.
Perhaps, they just have good genetics, good microbiome from their mother.
I believe *some starch is important, yes. But I was mainly commenting on the importance of milk in civilization.
It’s like the foundation of it, the backbone. Societies wouldn’t have thrived without milk in some form.
@LucH said in What Did Dr. Pete Say The K-2 To Calcium Ratio Was?:
@Amethyst said in What Did Dr. Pete Say The K-2 To Calcium Ratio Was?:
Anyway, back to my question. If you are consuming a lot of dairy ( which I am now) how much K-2 does one supplement with?
Hi,
You have to decide which king of K2 you want: MK4 or MK7?
Mk4 twice a day (half life); MK7 must be protected from oxidation (no liquid form).
So how much to take if I am taking in at least 1,200 mgs. of calcium?
@Mauritio said in Starch is truly slave food:
@Milk-Destroyer I'm convinced that Genghis khans empire was build on milk consumption.
It made them strong and flexible.
They drank a lot of horse milk, which has nutritional benefits over starch already. But not just that when other armies ran out of food during siege, they never did, because they had their horses with them. They drank their milk, ate their meat and used their dung for fire.Maybe the empire collapsed when they stoped being nomadic, built cities and stopped consuming as much milk.
"...between 30 percent and 50 percent of their summertime dietary calories come from dairy products. These range from mare’s milk (men will consume up to eight liters of fermented airag a day), to lightweight, calorie-dense curds that can be transported and stored for up to two years—in all, more than 20 different dairy-based foods. "
https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2020/08/right-now-did-milk-build-mongol-empire
That’s very interesting. And they didn’t drink “skim” milk but the full fat milk of the horse.
Did they also drink cow’s milk? (Edit: looked at the link) Yes they did, as well as other “milks”.
Milk is the backbone of civilization really. Why mess with it?

People who criticize Peat’s recommendations for eating a certain way, saying that all they did was get fat from it etc. etc. is probably because they approached what he was suggesting, the wrong way.
Because suddenly they felt they had the liberty to eat and eat till their heart’s content, they went overboard in their eating…say for example, eating previously forbidden massive amounts of sugar, or juice or fat ….because they perceived that Peat did not believe in condemning carbs for example.
It was a “party on” mentality for some. They had been let out of the self imposed cage of restriction and reacted to that, going in the opposite direction.
Then after they gained a lot of unnecessary weight, they turned around and said that Peat’s reccomendations didn’t work.
IMO it wasn’t Peat’s recommendations that were/are wrong. It was/is their understanding/perception of his recommendations, and their applying them indiscriminately, in an all or nothing, black and white unstudied fashion, that was/is the problem.
I’m not saying this is applicable in all cases.
In my own case, why I am now approaching things differently in regards to Peat’s suggestions, is because I have more understanding as to the “why” Peat recommended what he did.
It’s not enough to say “stop eating Pufas”. It’s understanding WHY they are bad for you. Or understanding why the over abundance of them in our modern society, has had such a detrimental effect on our health.
You don’t avoid them for just avoidance sake. You avoid them because you understand. Because you take the time to understand, by researching Peat’s writings, and comprehending what they do to the human body in excess.
Then, armed with this new found knowledge, you apply it to your life. And you improve. If you approach it in that way.
Everyone wants an instant fix. Not gunna happen that way. Sure, if you starve yourself to lose weight, you do lose, but then you rebound. And gain more weight back. And are fatter as a result. The body knows when it’s being starved. It rebels.
It’s a process coming to understand why Peat wrote what he wrote about different topics.
His principals work, his knowledge is helpful, if you approach them with understanding, also paying attention to how eating a certain way works for you individually.
It’s funny in an ironic way, how the cutting edge popular diet gurus ( if we want to call them that) are now confirming how much of what Peat wrote was accurate. It’s been a long time coming.
