Oat Bran in a Ray Peat Inspired Diet?
Ray Peat mentioned that he is trying a bit of Oat Bran recently and feeling better for it. I personally feel better minimising starches and grains. I still have 25% of my carbs as starch because I find just sugar/fruit alone doesn’t feel quite right, especially in winter.
So I bought some Oat Bran this Australian winter just to try it.
Read on to see what conclusions I’ve drawn.
Bean Protocol discussion from a Ray Peat Inspired perspective
Interesting topic raised in our private facebook group about the Bean Protocol by Karen Hurd. A member asked if anyone had tried it and discussion ensued about whether they had or hadn’t, and what they thought of it.
Now bottom line, this “diet” is completely contradictory to everything Ray Peat says.
Lower Protein – Ray Peat Inspired
Ray Peat has shocked his followers by declaring on some recent podcasts that he has been experimenting with lower protein. (Date for reference July 2022.)
The amount he mentioned was 50g being the minimum for health and he was at about 60g at the moment. He found that if he reduced his protein to this amount, he was able to use less of his thyroid supplement and stay in good health.
The Sun, Health & Weight Loss
A person online was asking about the ZEN Beach Diet and said “does it involve laying on the beach in the sun?” I think they were trying to be funny but it may have shocked them a little when I replied, “absolutely it does!!”
Many people are really not aware of the importance of sunlight and light generally, when it comes to their health. It is actually critical for both physical and mental health and should be a regular part of your lifestyle. That is, if your health is important to you.
Constipation Help – Ray Peat Inspired
We recently conducted a survey in our private Facebook group and 60% of respondents said they experienced constipation some of the time with 40% of those advising it was quite frequent.
I usually write about issues that I have personally and how I overcame it, and this one is no exception. A weird thing happened a few weeks back where out of the blue, I felt like I was no longer having any urge to poop.
At all.
Meal Plan – Ray Peat Inspired
When you have issues with food, diets and weight loss, the thought of constructing a meal plan can be overwhelming.
For me personally, the less I focused on food in the past, the more successful I was in terms of weight control. I would just eat whatever, when I was hungry.
Then I started a blog about food, weight loss and diets and now am torturing myself a bit more!
Gingerbread Cookie Recipe
Every year around Christmas time, my husband enjoys a few Gingerbread Cookies. I’ve been meaning to try and make him some for a few years now. This year is finally the year!
Calorie intake a day. What I eat in a day updated 2021.
One of the most visited articles on the slimbirdy.com website is this one – What I eat in a day. People are trying to see what others eat on a Ray Peat style diet as well as their calorie intake a day. Just to see how it differs from what they are doing, to get the results they want.
