Many people may already know this, but I just want to clarify this for anyone who still assumes he only drinks 1 or 2 quarts of OJ with white sugar and doesn't eat "high carb".
I was playing around with this cool search tool Ray Peat Search made by @rijo , and I found an interview with Peat where a caller asks him to clarify how much of his sugar intake is from fruit and how much from white sugar and how much he eats daily.
Ray said he tries to get all his sugars from fruit, and only uses white sugar when he has no fruit, which I assume is rare. he also said he consumes around 1500-1600 calories of sugar per day, which is more than half of his calories. So it is certainly a high carb diet, around 400-500 grams per day.
Heres the Herb doctor interview when he says it
It should be clipped but if not its at the 40 minute mark.
