Just stumbled upon the “Ray Peat Principles” a few months ago through discovering Matt Blackburn on Instagram.
a couple questions:
1. What exactly is the “Ray peat diet” or the “Ray peat principles”, and what are some resources to understand what is actually advocated. Why is it so hard to find a clear precise protocol of what he advocates? At first it seemed like it was just the advocation of eating fruit, milk, meat, and avoiding PUFA. But there seems to be a lot of drug advocation in this group as well (thyroid drugs, aspirin, “methylene blue”, aromatase inhibitors, anabolic androgenic steroid drug abuse, etc)
2. Why is there such differing opinions regarding vitamin E? Matt Blackburn is advocating that people take 3200 IUs of vitamin E a day, and then I read on here where that Georgi Dinki guy is saying to only take 100-200ius a WEEK or you’ll deplete your vitamin K and bleed to death or whatever. But to be fair, that Matt guy gave studies where they gave people large doses of Vitamin E and no side effects were mentioned.
And now a couple criticisms:
1. The drug use. Does nobody care about improving themselves naturally? It’s also kind of hard to take seriously any benefits that people claim by following the Ray peat diet when they’re also loading themselves up on drugs.
wow, you gained muscle and lost fat and have more energy after taking anabolic androgenic steroid drugs, anti-estrogens, and t3? Shocking. It must be thanks to the fruit and milk lol.
What’s with the aspirin worship? Intestinal bleeding much?
what’s with the pharma drug adoration? Everyone here must go to an endocrinologist to get these drugs? Isn’t the idea to be healthy without being on meds for the rest of your life?
2. What’s with the Georgi Dinki worship?
I mean, I already know why. I’ve seen it with other people time and time again. Someone who comes around and acts like they know everything and they know all the answers to your problems will draw a lot of people in... but is nobody addressing the elephant in the room?
He talks all about metabolism and serotonin and estrogen and cortisol and all these things that are supposed to be messing up your metabolism.. he sounds like an expert.
he should have the drug, diet, and supplement game on point better than anyone... yet he appears to be a fat man. At 5’10 210 I feel pretty fat... but he looks even fatter than me. Is he just not following his own advice and eating fried PUFA sandwiches all day long?
sorry for the harsh words, just some things I felt I had to point out. Hopefully this isn’t one of those forums where you instantly ban people for having differing opinions....
