LucH said:https://raypeatforum.com/forums/posts/96751/ I took arsenic as example, since it’s common in our foodstuff, combined to pesticides. Water, rice, chicken, apples and apple juice, to name a few, are other sources.
Pina said:Most interesting, LucH. I'd read the case report!

Wow. I certainly never met this kind of doctor...LucH said:
This is the end of the "case report". But readers wants now more details about metylation defects:Pina said:Wow. I certainly never met this kind of doctor...
So what happens next?!!!
This is wonderful!schultz said:https://raypeatforum.com/forums/posts/96976/ It's always interesting to hear about the effects of a Peat style diet in younger people as there is not much out there in regards to this. I enjoyed what you had to say. My daughter is 2 years old in September and my wife and I were "Peating" before we conceived. We have no other children to compare to and no before and after kind of story, but my daughter seems incredibly healthy. She threw up once but that was like a year ago. She has had a cold (or whatever it was) a couple times as well I guess but other than that she hasn't been sick (as a baby she would spit up sometimes, but I am not counting that as vomiting). My wife even gave birth in our living room. She is pregnant again now, so we will see how this one turns out.

It's okay if the changes you are doing with the food take some time. It IS overwhelming at first, and your family might not appreciate a complete change of menus and habits in a short time.
I made things very complicated at first. If I were to start again simply, I would begin by introducing/encouraging:
coffee/decaf with milk/cream
raw carrot 20-30 minutes before supper
Ice cream for dessert or at bedtime
Spending time in the sun
Orange juice/oranges
butter
Those are easy and make a difference.
Then I would go on with the rest.
Removing gluten made a huge difference in my family, but I had experience on this so it was easy.
First of all, most commercial gluten-free products are not worth it, except some rice pasta and flour mixes. Bread tastes like cardboard and has oils in it. The texture is not appetizing. It's so expensive. And eventually your goal would be to limit starches as much as possible. So don't try to substitute bread, think differently.
Bread is mostly an issue for breakfast and lunch. For dinner, it's easier to do without.
So for breakfast, I know some people here have Rice Krispies, even if it's not ideal. It works. I'm looking for an organic, non-iron-fortified version... but in the meantime we love Rice Krispies.
When I stopped cooking my eggs in olive oil, it struck me how good they taste in butter! with salt! scrambled eggs, fruits, fruits, and more fruits. Cheese. Juice.
Actually, to make things simple you could focus on those keywords/ideas:
Snacks (as opposed to heavy meals)
Fruits
Soups (with bone broth)
meat/fish with white rice-butter-salt (can be a family meal life-saver)
don't go for "ideal" : aim for "good enough", or "better"
Did I say snacks?
Commercial Jell'o is probably not ideal but it's a staple in my fridge!
Potatoes fried in coconut oil... (the refined oil - has no taste). Mucho appreciated.
I'll be back with the stew recipe.
Peating is more difficult when you are the family's cook! when I'm alone, I don't even think about food, I just snack and go on with my life.
Also, I found it useful to take notes. some kind of journal of symptoms, changes, improvements.
Even better than plain sugar?Came on here looking for anyone who has experienced rice krispies. I ate like half a tray of rice krispie treats made with marshmellows and butter. The next morning it was like I was a new man. I believe that it absorbs better than any carb source out there. My libido has also shot through the roof.
Even better than plain sugar?
Hi @Nina , what is the reason for the decaf coffee? Is he drinking it because he likes the flavor or for a health benefit? Asking because my 9 year old loves coffee and always asks for it but I have only been letting her have a splash of regular coffee in her milk. She has been having anxiety attacks though so if there's some health benefit for kids I'd love to know!For breakfast, we have orange juice, eggs, rice cereals, or gluten-free pancakes, with café au lait. My son (13) sometimes has a decaf with a lot of sugar.
Lunches are very hard to prepare. No sandwiches, and no school cafeteria (if possible), and almost everything is home-cooked. Masa harina muffins (Ark's recipe is great: http://blog.arkofwellness.com/corn-muff ... sa-harina/ with chocolate chips), fruits, orange juice, cheese, left-overs in a thermos, greek yogurt or milk pudding. It'a lot of planning.
We both work from home, so sometimes I'll do an omelet, or I just have fruits, cheese, coffee and ice cream. During the day I often cook bone-broth in the slow-cooker.
When the kids come back from school or day camp, they are greeted with a raw carrot of course, sometimes with hummus or a bunch of fruits. Timing is everything!
For supper, we'll have bone-broth soup twice a week (I do a Pho soup, a potato-sausages soup, and a spinach-brocoli soup). My daughter loves homemade paté on crackers. I do fried rice. Smoked oysters with cream cheese on crackers. Cod with parmesan. mashes potatoes. Arepas.
Before bed, my son always has warm milk and sugar.
The kids do not eat 100% peat-style, and it's ok. They don't have 40+ years of pufa in their system, and I think the focus should be about good taste and good nutrition for now. I do spend a lot of time cooking.
