Hello everyone. Been lurking here a little while, would like to solicit feedback from those more knowledgeable and experienced than myself. I'm several months into Peating, recovering from an extended high stress period as well as a lifetime of PUFA consumption. Trying to raise metabolism, lower estrogen & stress hormones, and lose some weight. Here's my current daily routine:
4oz orange juice after waking up, followed by coffee with milk and sugar
Breakfast 1-2 hours later, usually granola with 1% milk (granola made with butter, no bad oils, no seeds). Take with breakfast: 50mg thiamine, 50mg niacinamide, 325mg aspirin
Snack around 2 hours later if hungry, maybe some cheese with Kame rice crackers or corn tortillas (no gums or preservatives). Currently trying to limit starches to corn tortillas, rice, oats, and potatoes. Black coffee
Lunch: 2 beef tacos with cilantro and onion, or 2 eggs with tortillas, black coffee. Supps: magnesium glycinate, 200mg, taurine 500mg, nettle root extract 500mg
Afternoon: Mexican coca cola
Late afternoon snack: cheese and rice crackers, or lowfat cottage cheese
Dinner: some meat (usually beef or pork, sometimes chicken), white rice, sometimes some cooked broccoli or leafy green vegetable. Supps: magnesium glycinate 200mg, taurine 500mg
Evening: 1% milk or orange juice according to thirst
Usually getting around 2200 calories / day, shooting for around 120g protein, 300g carbs, and 60g fat. I find that I easily go over 60g of fat if I'm not careful because of the milk, cheese and meat.
If I'm eating food that I know has higher pufa, like chicken or pork, I'll take 100 IU of vitamin E (Solgar brand).
Considering replacing the morning thiamine pill with Jarrow B-Right B complex, but keeping the niacinamide since the complex has 25mg niacin but no niacinamide. But I don't know if there is any downside to the higher doses of some of the other B vitamins in there.
Would appreciate any tips or recommendations.
