This blog post was prompted by a recent discussion (very polite argument) I had with someone recently in one of the Ray Peat groups. Is coconut oil weight loss true or just a myth?
Sugar Diet Sugar Fasting Issues
Have you heard of the latest fad – the Sugar Diet or Sugar Fasting?
If you have, you may not have heard the Sugar Diet issues that go along with it!
In a Ray Peat inspired Pro Metabolic Diet, we are encouraged to eat fruit for carbs and even sugar for optimal health – so that lines up with our beliefs so far – sugar is not the problem.
If you have already been following my ZEN Beach Diet version of a pro metabolic diet, you would already have lost weight, improved your health and wouldn’t need to search for other alternatives. You can find the guidebook here.
In these two different versions of a sugar diet though, critical changes and omissions are made. This demonstrates a lack of understanding of how the body works to raise metabolism without harm, and what is required to gain and maintain health, while losing weight for the long term.
Let me explain:
Red Meat Inflammation. A Pro Metabolic way around it.
Do you believe the mainstream view that red meat causes inflammation?
Or maybe you have experienced the inflammation from red meat yourself, and now you believe it to be true and stay away from it as much as you can?
On this pro metabolic journey, I’ve found that unless you open your mind a little and as Ray Peat always said – explore the context around what is being said – then you may just very well miss out on highly nutritious food. As with so many other foods like coffee, sugar and dairy which are given a bad wrap, it’s often how you eat it, when and with what other foods that makes all the difference.

Bacon and Egg Pie Recipe
This Bacon and Egg Pie recipe was just another variation on a similar breakfast type casserole I featured in my 3 Day Summer Diet RESTART book.
Every time I make one, it seems to be slightly different. However, this Bacon and Egg Pie is super yum, so it’s worth a recipe post of its own.
Losing Weight with a Pro Metabolic Diet
Recently in our private FB group, I asked the question:
