Just peat, go get a copy of pic related and start looking at intro to peating videos on YouTube.

tl;dr peating is just maximizing your metabolism (shit that gives you energy) in the healthiest ways you can on top of the normal balancing protein/carbs/fats and avoiding unhealthy stuff like PUFA's (seed oils). It's more a lens to solve your problems with than a strict regiment.

This. Since following some of Ray Peats findings i feel so much more energetic and i still consider them day-to-day despite having a relatively starch-heavy diet for budgetary reasons.

Most people building off of his work should be taken with a huge grain of salt though. As a tranny i had to confront a popular bugbear in the peatarian community, which is the role of estrogen in metabolism. It is often claimed that high-estrogen lowers metabolism, even though i found no studies attributing these to estrogen alone. One study even indicates estrogen accelerates metabolism! The theory about low estrogen/high progesterone being an indicator of female health is first directly connected to the supplements people on raypeatforum liked to push and second to the effect of *tissue-bound* estrogen, also called aromatase, which forms in response to *falling* levels of free estrogen. I'm not surprised to have seen the forum pivot hard to a vitamin a diet, that seems even shakier than keto, for no discernable reason other than selling new supplements.

From my own experience, having adult-woman levels of estrogen is a non-factor next to diet or sleep. While i do feel more sensitive to cold and tend to eat less, this could just as well be due to the loss in muscle mass, and it's hardly comparable to how i felt on my pre-peat diets.

personally i lost 50lbs in the past year with GLP-1 agonists and light cardio (very low-effort on my part)

semaglutide/tirzepatide/etc are literally bio-hacking, as gay as the normie memes about taking them are you cant get more cyberpunk than that

additionally, they have lots of other benefits beyond just making you not-hungry

i also agree with the peaters but im pretty sure when i was taking the RECOMMENDED DOSE (few gramz give or take) of Asprin a day i had a blood test come back with increased Liver enzymes - and im not so sure i noticed any perceivable benefits while taking Asprin like that anyways, for those reasons i dont take it daily anymore

ive always been curious to get my testosterone/thyroid levels etc checked out but i dont really know all too much about that shit and im pretty positive im blessed with the high-test (bald) gene anyways

Also blessed with the bald gene but you can get a decent idea of your metabolic rate based off your temperature and heart rate when you first wake up. You check these measurements then because your body isn't being influenced by food or anything yet. A good temperature is around 98F and a good heart rate is supposedly around 75-85. I can't personally speak to the heart rate aspect because I've always had high blood pressure but just keep track of your temps and heartrate in a book alongside how energetic you are during the day. Another good time to check your temp and heartrate is an hour or two after a meal. Low thyroid function can cause your temps to drop after meals. The best practice for measuring your temps is to use an old mercury thermometer under the armpit for a few minutes. This is just all the stuff I've found over the past year or so. I haven't gotten to implement this into my daily routine. I just go off of vibes.

Agreed. Same as anything else in that there's grifters and snake oil salesmen. Personally I like Arcane Vitality and Danny Roddy.

Also for the sake of spirit raydolf peatler must be mentioned. May his legacy stand forever.

Can we change this to a peating thread? I'd love to have a place to check weekly with personal updates, tips, and other crud.

I've used emmett miller and steven halpern's "letting go of stress" as a "self-hypnosis" that I do regularly, usually one or two times a day, on and off for maybe 7 years. It's a regular use thing if it's to work and right now I'm in the swing of using it again.

The concept of guided imagery is related as a way to visually focus on the factors that this meditation series includes. I also want to start practicing belly breathing, or using my diaphragm to aid breathing as I was once a pack a day smoker and this can help breathing in some ways I've read that I'm not sure about. Additionally, progressive muscle relaxation is helpful. I would say it can help put my mind in sync with my body, though I'm not sure how this idea would technically be put in my case. I guess it helps me be less influenced by knee-jerk reaction, leading to a less effortful, forceful sort of experience

Finally, I'll share a series or two I've enjoyed at other times:

Freebird meditations
Dr Linda Bolle
Dr steven frucht
There's lots of this stuff on youtube. The psychologist who shared the first production I listed said it doesn't work for everyone

Cool recommendations. To add to your thing about self-hypnosis Dave Elman's "Hypnotherapy" is a great introduction to hypnosis for anyone interested. Guy made it for the medical world but it's just a really good introduction to what hypnosis is, how it works, and simple techniques for anyone interested.

In regards to belly breathing and progressive muscle relaxation I'd recommend Robert Bruce's book "Energy Work". Has lots of exercises on working with your body's energy and can boost any spiritual practices or your body's general health by a good margin. Quick, simple exercises and you can just read a bit each day to try and implement exercises. You'd probably want to use it to aid any breathwork you do.

Regarding breathwork you could try "Science of Breath" by yogi Ramacharaka
Easy read that takes an afternoon, talks about full breaths and the various, poorer ways people may breathe.
