@Ecstatic_Hamster When i first found peat I was in a very low energy stressed state and needed upwards to 7 cups of coffee just to function properly. After increasing my metabolic rate I dont need nearly as much. Two espressos and a caffeinated cola is the perfect ammount for me.

@happyhanneke idk if this reply was for me, but when I was a kid our goats were fine. My dad's nanny goat did fine, except that constant mating attempts by the billy goat caused an udder injury that led to mastitis. Check out rotational grazer's experience with sheep -- it's led to drastic reductions in infections and parasites. But yes, due to them eating strait to the root, they are more likely to get parasites and bacteria -- rotational grazing mitigates this by keeping them in clean pasture away from their poop

The title is a bit misleading.

Speaks little of beta oxidation but more of sugar mitochondrial oxidation.

If we're relying too much in beta oxidation as an an energy source, it will deprive the sugar mitochondrial pathway of oxidative potential or energy to burn sugar mitochondrially, and the alternate sugar pathway of glycolysis will be used. This is where lactate is produced. This leads to lower CO2 production to a point where hypoxia occurs from poor tissue oxygenation, which further restricts sugar metabolism to the glycolytic pathway and less CO2 being produced.

This causes blood sugar to be less absorbed and metabolized and for blood sugar to rise to higher levels, which causes it to be converted to fat and for blood sugar to drop excessively to the point of hypoglycemia. With low blood sugar, adrenaline is produced which causes glycogen to be converted to blood sugar. But if glycogen runs out or isn't available, then cortisol will cause body protein to be converted to sugar, and ammonia will be produced in this conversion.

@Insomniac 🙏

@GreekDemiGod Actually, its not too far off from peat's recommendation. He clarrified that the 80-100g recommendation was based on 4-5k calories in the last year of his life. I doubt most people eat this much food based on those ive talked to. So the range would be 50-70g for most people going off this.

@Serotoninskeptic, definitely! 🙂

@insufferable Yes I believe in some ways, it has stronger antiviral effects and different mechanisms outside the cell. Once transported, its immediately reduced to AA intracellularly.

@GreekDemiGod I agree he isnt as credible as someone like Ray who has years of research and experimentation under his belt. But. its also not nescesarily true that young people can feel good eating any diet. Im in ny early 20s and when i was raw vegan I felt sick, fatigued, i lost my libido, and my muscle mass. I had anxiety attacks induced from hypoglycemia and felt terrible.

@Snow Yes these are very similar to caramel or toffee. Traditional taffy is usually fruit-flavored but these are more similar to a browned butter/caramel flavor.

Was sick

Found an article on an obscure website: Raypeat dot com
Didn’t understand it…

Read his book Nutrition for Women
Didn’t understand it….

Got sicker and sicker

Started to understand!

Experimented with his ideas
Saw truth
Never have looked back
