Peata said:Don't fast.
narouz said:Peata asked a question of Dr. P and received this answer:
Peata said:Q's: There has been a lot of confusion on what you recommend to lose body weight/ fat. Some say reduce calories, others say you must raise calories (to lose weight). Many of us seem to be insulin resistant and unable to lose. Can you clear up your recommendations on lowing weight/fat?
Answer from RP on 4/12/15: Keeping the metabolic rate up is the main thing, and there are lots of ways to do it. Using gelatin as an extra protein source can help to raise the body temperature. Since insulin stimulates fat deposition, insulin resistance isn’t likely to lead to extra fat production.
Shall we count the ways?
Zachs said:Number 1 rule to lose fat in my book, you cannot eat a lot of the two main energy sources (fat and carbs) and expect to lose fat. Your body just cannot put both to use fast enough.
haidut said:Correct. And if you do eat fat make sure you eat it in a way that does not trigger insulin since you will end up storing most of it instead of burning it.
Strongbad said:haidut said:Correct. And if you do eat fat make sure you eat it in a way that does not trigger insulin since you will end up storing most of it instead of burning it.
Can you specify the ways to do it correctly without triggering insulin? I've gotta make sure eating the Peat-way doesn't give me diabetes or busted liver somehow.
I thought with starch, Ray recommends people eat fat with it to protect against the granules and to also reduce the large insulin response starch triggers?haidut said:Starch should be close to zero, and if you eat starch than it better be without fat. Rice and potatoes are fine as long as you don't eat much fat with them.

Oh, I thought one of the reasons for consuming fat with starch was to reduce the huge insulin response you would get from starch on its own, thus reducing the crash afterwards. Or at least, that's what I thought Ray's opinion was. So not having fat with starch means less of an insulin response?haidut said:Jennifer said:I thought with starch, Ray recommends people eat fat with it to protect against the granules and to also reduce the large insulin response starch triggers?haidut said:Starch should be close to zero, and if you eat starch than it better be without fat.

I guess that would be for purposes of reducing intestinal irritation. But in terms of weight gain, noting will fatten you up quicker than starch + fat due to the huge insulin response you will get. Things like mashed potatoes with heavy cream or rice with butter. And then you will get a blood sugar crash due to the high insulin, which will activate the stress response and you will have to keep eating to stop it. Actually, replacing the the fat mentioned here with PUFA will be even more fattening but I am assuming nobody here will purposefully eat PUFA.

haidut said:If are willing to get most of your sugar from fruit and fruit juices then you can drink things like apple juice and grape juice since they are mostly fructose and will stimulate insulin very little. Starch should be close to zero, and if you eat starch than it better be without fat. Rice and potatoes are fine as long as you don't eat much fat with them.

So if you are trying to lose weight, should you use fructose powder instead of sucrose, and even if your liver function is impaired? You seem to get most of your carbs from sucrose. Is that because you have fixed your metabolism and/or don't need to lose weight?

Cold water.
Of course it has to be done in special ways. I am not a specialist of it, and I had just planned to investigate more about it, so I mention it.
I do remember about cold showers (unavaibility of hot water...), or river baths, and it was difficult but soooooo rewarding! I could feel a real warmth coming from inside me. So it did stimulate my metabolism.
As far as I remember what I have already read, you have to be warm enough when doing it, have the cold for a short time, and then go walking at a good rate. The cold water can be applied to the whole body or to some parts, for different results.

Protein, salt, thyroid, and progesterone happen to be thermogenic, increasing heat production and stabilizing body temperature at a higher level.
