Pardon my math. It's 50 grams protein=200cal (4 cal per gram). So 200cal/2500cal total which is up to 8% of total calories from protein.
His diet made him sick.
Lowering protein was an attempt to get away from his toxic diet. If his diet was so good, why in the world would it make him sick and why would he be looking for an alternative?
But he did cure a lot of people with his diet as well. Ray is not the inattentive type that would let a ravaging diet destroy him to only change it in his last few years. I'm sure he has a lot of patient testimonies as well. I just think that he neared the end of his life and as such tried to resist it to no avail.
His diet cured me as well, from chronic fatigue syndrome. Until it didn't and the toxic load of the diet and Ray Peat lifestyle caught up, so then effectively it is not a cure. Suppressing is not a cure. Eventually the toxin always wins.
Me too sir. I suppose we are a bit different.
He didn’t but it seemed that way to me. I think the smoke and allergies was a form of denial. He was quite sick and although maybe medical attention wouldn’t have helped, maybe it would have.
Anthony Mawson has shown what is happening for the flu, or covid and the like. Nothing more than "vitamin A" toxicity rearing its ugly head.
Exactly.
It's quite sad listening to some of the last videos. He really didn't sound well but it's so much more noticeable in hindsight. It must have been gradual.
Is there a case to be made for those aminos then? I've not looked into it too deeply, just accepted it thinking a balance is probably best and it is easy to eat a lot of muscle meat.
Yes they have physiologic functions. Like many things they seem to have valuable functions in the appropriate amount where too little or too much could have negative effects. I guess the trick is finding the sweet spot. I can't say I have it perfected but I just try to consume supplemental gelatin and more collagenous cuts of meat and tendon.
Same here. Sometimes some beef gelatine based Haribos. The ingredients aren't perfect but they are reasonable for 'off the shelf' sweets.
He was 86. Well beyond the life expectancy of American males. I do think Peat’s lifetime of experimentation both hurt and helped his health though. But you can’t say it cut his life unnaturally short. 86 is well above average.
