I keep seeing recipes instructing to boil vegetables for 1,2,3 hours.

Why?

@brad Mmmm thankyou for the recs. It’s currently summer in Australia but come winter shepherds pie and soups/broths will be my go to.

As for charcuterie - love it, but am currently opting for lower fat options as I’m trying to lose weight. Thanks!

@metabolicmilk and PUFA

Currently as I work 4-5 days a week I have to meal prep lunches. Aside from financially helping me, this also lets me avoid the soyslop that is served in the majority of restaurants and cafes near me.

My current regime is grassfed lean beef mince (combined with onions sautéed in butter), sweet potato and a carrot salad (w coconut oil, apple cider vinegar n salt).

Thoughts? Room for improvement or change?

This has been my go to for the past couple months and I think I am slowly starting to get sick of it so would love alternative peaty meals that are easily batchable.

@HoldenCox More info on carrot salad losing nutrients as a side dish? I currently eat it as an add on to a meal rather than a solo snack

I don’t meal prep dinners but prep lunches daily. My go to is ground beef (start with onion cooked in butter in the pan for flavour base, then add beef), sweet potato and a carrot salad on the side .

Usually top with some honey and devour as one big slop. Hits the spot taste and balance wise!

I've never been one to easily last hours (Avg 5-10 mins) but PE hasn't been a dominant issue in my life.

Recently I took a trip to Japan and let my diet completely go off the wall for 3 weeks (PUFA & soymaxxing). Since I got back, I have had a PE spike that is causing some issues for me and my partner.

I have been back to my regular diet and regime for 1.5 months now and my ejaculation time is returning to somewhat normal - but ideally, I would like to get beyond normal and last longer.

I'm sure there is a hormonal answer out there somewhere! Wondering if you guys have any experience with the subject.

@raypneat best fruit then? Currently pumping mango

@Lukey just recently started supplementing with liver guard (milk thistle) so seems like I’m on the right track

@rayp Any article suggestions? Honestly I get overwhelmed with the amount of resources!

@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?

@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

@brad RHR is healthy but am yet to measure temp. Will do!

Bump. Also dealing with this. I fear that no matter what the hard tissue will be left over?

Hey, novice peater here. (Apologies in advance for the paragraphs!)

As someone suffering from Gynecomastia, excess hip fat and general obesity (87kg 5’10) from roughly a decade of poor diet, marijuana use and overall hormonal disruption - I am doing all the peaty things I am supposed to do.

Minimising PUFA to all extents, eating simple sugars (fruit, honey, milk), grassfed ruminant meats (mainly beef mince and lamb), daily carrot salad etc. I’ve got the shower filter, wooden chopping board and most of the anti-estrogenic measures in place. I am also exercising (heavy lifting 1-3 times a week, ocean swims, walks in nature and the occasional soccer game).

I feel as though I am consuming advice from multiple members of the community that already have a good metabolism and figure in place - and cannot seem to find resources from people in the situation like myself, starting the long road to recovery.

My question is in two parts:

1. Should I be following the same dietary guidelines as someone with optimal metabolic and physical functionality?
2. If not, what does a good diet look like for someone like me attempting to kickstart my health after years of neglect?

My concerns are regarding overall fat intake (currently consuming unhomogenised full cream jersey milk and fatty ratios of beef mince or cuts of lamb vs opting for low fat milk and leaner cuts) and the optimal consumption of “healthy fats” for weight loss and metabolic rate increase.

I understand that with a faster metabolism, I will lose weight naturally. Yet I fear that since my body is not functioning anywhere near optimally (most likely suffering from hypothyroidism), that if I follow dietary guidelines of people with optimal metabolic and physical functions, that it will not serve my body in the same way.

Any and all advice is welcome! If you have read this whole thing, I deeply appreciate the time
