I have been very slowly easing into a Peat way of eating. I have not made big changes but I feel good and my wife says my mood has changed for the better.
I was eating a low carb paleo diet and had been doing so for quite a few years. I have many allergies and intollerances so I drifted into Paleo after eliminating foods that were giving me problems.
I have been having about a mug of homemade stock per day for a year or two after reading a Peat article about it. Unfortunately I ignored all of the other Peat stuff at the time. I have recently increased the amount of homemade stock and will probably be buying gelatin as well.
The first change I made was to start drinking orange juice and adding sugar and salt while reducing the amount of meat. Pretty quickly, orange juice became between 30-50% of calories per day. I have still been eating a lot of pork and a little chicken each day but I have been removing the chicken skin to add to bones etc for homemade stock. I am also eating more beef and tallow (beef fat) than I was before. The tallow seems to be causing a little reflux though. My experiment with coconut oil didnt go well which is why I have been using tallow
I have lamb several times per week and one or two eggs per day but was already doing that before.
I intend to reduce the chicken and pork more and replace it with beef. I'm toying with the idea of trying some cheese but I have a milk allergy so I have been a little put off by the idea so far. I tried some clarified butter this week. I'm not sure if it caused me a lot of mucus two evenings on the trot but something did so I've given that a miss for a few days.
