I felt like that on a low protein diet. It's amazing that simply eating an appropriate amount of quality protein-rich foods increased my strength so much. A lot easier to maintain muscle mass too. Also, the fact that Peat himself eats a high-ish protein diet is very telling as well. Without enough amin0-acids, serotonin rises, so the reason people feel "good" may be that: stress at the beginning feels good, but it takes its toll eventually. Also, a quicker transit time has a lot of benefits, so I think going fruitarian once or twice a week and then eating high protein on the other days can be very interesting.That sounds like a quote right from Dr. Morse himself. I see you quoting a lot of his ideas around here often, as I once did.
I felt great following his strategies for a few months, then things went south quick. I was peeing over 20 times a day, always ice cold, and my blood and hair tests were never worse. My triglycerides were sky high and cholesterol (especially HDL) was extremely low, basically signaling insulin resistance. Also, I lost 25 lbs, getting down to 125 lbs (I’m a 6’0 male and always have been very lean and my normal weight is 155-160 lbs). I was so weak I couldn’t do 1 pull-up (I can normally do up to 20 pretty effortlessly). I got about about 7 cavities in 5 months after not having one cavity my first 35 years of existence on this planet.
Of all the things I’ve ever tried, the Morse stuff was the only thing I ever regret doing. Go search YouTube of the horror stories people have long-term trying to stick to that. I heard from someone I trust that knows that staff that work at his detox centers and none of them follow his protocols because they made them unwell after doing it for an extended period as well. Morse himself doesn’t even follow it.
You might be feeling great now, as I did at the start, but I would be very careful recommending this idea to others here. Long-term, it’s not safe nor sustainable at all
