    High calorie and BCAA/Isoleucine restriction for weight loss

    Some relatively new research has shown that BCAA (leucine, isoleucine and valine) restriction is responsible for the weight loss seen in protein restricted (PR) diets. As opposed to calorie restricted (CR) diets, the metabolic rate doesn't decrease as happens in CR and in some cases it seems...

    Pics: Does this look like hormone-fueled fat distribution / cortisol / insulin, or do I just need to lose a stone?

    So I've been on here a while, and I've been living a life inspired by Peat's work for many years. I avoid PUFA like plague, don't starve myself of carbs, try my damndest to hit my micros etc. and I generally dip in and out of the forum so as not to drive myself crazy! To recap to date, I've...

    Increasing NAD lowers body weight, cholesterol and blood pressure

    In this study they gave middle aged people "2 MIB-626 tablets each containing 500 mg of microcrystalline β-nicotinamide mononucleotide or placebo twice daily for 28 days." Most notably the participants lost about 1.9kg of body weight in just 28 days. Now was all over that fat ? Hard to say...

    18th Century Doctor’s Peaty Diet Advice

    So I came across this video for “milk soup”, a recipe from an 18th century doctor who specialized in weight loss. The milk soup itself is interesting. It’s like a “healthy” version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch made with high quality ingredients. And this was considered a weight loss food...

    Dnp logs for weight loss

    Hey I started a new log with dnp instead of aspirin. Aspirin helps you lose water weight and tolerate a caloric deficit better. But it doesn't work like dnp. My source is under dosed but the dnp numbers I put up will be as if it wasn't. So when I take 500 mg it's 250 mg. Undosed to hell I know...

    Only eat what you crave, lose weight and gain health, with caveats.

    This principle applies to me involuntarily and because I try to be very in tune with my body, it's more of an instinct than an actual decision. When I try to calorically restrict my body determines what calories are sufficient and it will drive me next to insane to ignore it. Same with food...

    Sodium Butyrate leads to weight loss and less inflammation/endotoxin

    Very interesting study on Sodium Butyrate and weight loss/inflammation. The researchers fed mice a high fat diet(HFD) and gave some of them Sodium butyrate (I think it was 5% of the diet) as a supplement. Not only did the butyrate +HFD-mice weigh less (~20%) than the HFD-mice, they weighed...

    Does fat loss cause Estrogen release?

    For instance, If one had started to lose weight, would estrogen stored in fat release estrogen into the system and one would have symptoms of high estrogen, such as hot flashes? After reading more of Ray's articles I was thinking maybe this new thyroid med (compounded, extended release) is...

    Exercise causing inflammation

    Hi everyone! Wondering if some of you may be able to shed some light on a pattern I seem to go through. I’ve struggled with weight my whole life, but particularly after having kids. The only time I was really thin was when I was running 3-5kms a day. After discovering peat a while ago I’ve...

    Aspirin to double weight loss.

    I have been taking 5 aspirins in the morning and 2 aspirins every 2 hours with vitamin C 1 gram for 5 days so far. I went from 228 to 223. Lost a pound a day. I'm on a 500-1000 calorie deficit to accomplish this. It's like dnp but with less side effects and it's lighter then caffeine is on...

    Weight (Muscle mass) Loss post-surgery

    Hey people, Had surgeries recently, therefore will have to stay passive for some time. Do you have tips on how to preserve muscle mass during a period of about 2-3 weeks of no exercise, where I can't even do calisthenic exercises, such as lunges, squats, push-ups & etc? The only thing I can...

    High carbs for fat loss/ increase metabolic rate? Asking for some advice.

    I’ve been familiar with Ray Peat for awhile but my mental health has been very bad since the beginning of 2020 up until now. I eat all the “peat” foods, followed by binge eating junk filled with pufa, and alcohol consumption to escape. Im cutting out alcohol and processed foods. I’m finally...

    “All You Have To Do To Lose Weight. Turn Fat Into CO2 & H2O

    Just ran across this TEDx vid on YouTube. It started out sounding like it could be a very Peat-like explanation to fat loss. However, the final take was “move more, eat less and breath”. Are there nuggets to take away from this? He says the #1 question he gets is “can we just sit around and...

    Honey Gets Much Better Results Than Sucrose

    I’ve seen a lot of talk here about using refined table sugar and pop to help increase sugar intake. Not only does this advice go against repeated long term human RCTs, but it just doesn’t make sense when there are much better options such as fruit, fruit juice, and honey. Adding sucrose to the...
