searing meat is one of my favorite things to do taste wise. but can the products (AGEs from what i remember) have negative effecs in the body? would be a real shame if they did honestly

upregulates ppar-alpha? from what i remember higher ppar-a contributes to fat storage

@Loulou isn’t sourdough bread high as shit in resistant starch? peat is one confusing guy lol, i thought he advised against consuming any of that

@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

Is there a way/recipe to make a bread or pastry which fits into Peat’s ideas? ie no resistant starch, no gluten (or other plant defence chemicals) etc?

i’m craving pastry all the time and would like to eat some based off Brad Marshall’s work, but if I can i’d like to keep it as bioenergetic as possible

@Evolutionarily issue is you can’t be very low pufa (>2g) and eat more than like one egg a day, same goes for seafood

i doubt i’ll stay on this low of a pufa intake forever but i’m on a cut rn and it’s helped me lose weight insanely fast and effortlessly so i’m gonna stick with it, at least until i deplete my adipose tissue levels

I’ve cut PUFA to pretty much zero (like 2g a day) but i remember seeing some arguments that DHA is essential during development, so i’d like to supplement it since i’m 16

issue is all DHA supplements are just algae oil which has a dogshit fatty acid composition - “The [algae] oil contained substantial proportions of the unsaturated fatty acids oleic (26.9 wt%), linoleic (22.8 wt%), and linolenic (16.1 wt%) as well as 14.6 wt% palmitic acid”

and the only pure DHA (99.81%) i’ve found would cost me like $240 a day plus shipping lmfao

so yeah not happening. are there other sources of isolated DHA? i live in the UK btw

@Evolutionarily @Dracarys

I’m looking at this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132067621269?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=RO2JoCrtSkW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=8t7emgmjsxs&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

based on a post i saw on rpf before it went down. thoughts on its formula? thanks for the replies btw.

@GreekDemiGod beginner here. what’s the issue with low SHBG? wouldn’t that mean higher free test? would mean more free e2 as well of course but lowering shbg wouldn’t even change the free test:free estrogen ratio since they would both become lower equally surely

Ideally UK-based since shipping is expensive as fuck

is there one out there which is truly peaty? ie high doses of all b vitamins in their ideal forms, without silicon dioxide and shit

@BioEclectic yeah i think i saw someone on rpf have success with this. is the mechanism of action understood?

@Insomniac this is an extreme hyper responder to minoxidil, 99.9% of people won't get results like this

@Insomniac i take oral minox (2.5mg ED) but it won't get me to where i'd ideally like to be so i'm looking to combine it with other methods

@DavidPS i'm pretty sure castor oil works through being a weak pge2 analogue, which might cause orbital fat loss which i wanna avoid

@DavidPS i'm not experiencing any eyebrow alopecia or anything, just curious about getting thicker eyebrows

earlier, I was kinda caught off guard when i read this:

saying that eyelashes were unaffected by androgens, as i had always thought they were altered in the same way as other facial hair, and had often heard people say that higher testosterone in men meant they had thicker hair, including eyelashes.

nowhere in this or other studies were eyebrows mentioned, but i found this:

saying that eyebrows are not androgen dependent as well? unfortunately the rest of the book is locked behind a £170 paywall so i can't access it. is this true or not?

@pittybitty ah good to know. would 100g of fat be a lot for someone who's 78kg?

@rayjeet i'm new to this. why would lower fat be good for staying lean? i thought higher fat intake was important for hormones which correlate with low bodyfat (androgens etc)

@Mauritio i'd like to believe it would work but those 10 things may do less for the hair growth i want than higher DHT would. i like to look at everything from all angles, 100 benefits may be outweighed by 1 downside

@Mauritio i'm still not sure since i remember reading that 'theory of everything' reddit post a while back which theorised that procyanidin works through increasing intracellular degradation of DHT through the increase of an enzyme i forgot the name of. In that case i'm not sure if that's something i want, i'm more interested in better eyebrows and facial hair which more DHT breakdown would antagonise
