The Ray Peat Survival Guide: Understanding, Using, and Realistically Applying the Dietary Ideas of Dr. Ray Peat

the author never met Ray Peat but I still think it’s a good little condensed infos book, easy to read, easy to understand. Maybe a good first step before falling deep into Ray Peat’s work (which could be hard to find and sometimes hard to read and listen).

Permet d'avoir un résumé de ce que dit Ray Peat, mais pas très bien écrit, sans references pour justifier les propos. Pratique pour comprendre "la pensee Peat" mais ça s'arrête là

This book is very easy to read, understand and it can be read entirely in one or two sittings. It’s a good guide to Dr Peats research and suggestions for a healthy diet. I ordered The Ray Peat Survival Guide because I was looking for a way of eating that would be more healthy for me and help me feel healthy as well. I’ve struggled over 30 years, I tried Adkins’s, then Vegan, last, Keto and struggling with pain from Gluten, Dairy and struggling with Diabetes, IBS, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, Candida, mononucleosis, chronic fatigue, fybromyalgia etc…and with every diet I felt like I was starving. I was actually starving myself for real! I found out about Dr Ray Peat from my friend who was struggling and researched and found it in the internet. I love Joey Lotts book! I’ve read a lot about Ray Peat’s research and ideas. They feel right for me. Joey is to all of us, but especially with those who jump from diet to diet and treat like a religion of perfection and use it as another eating disorder. If that isn’t you, you can use this book as information. He suffered an eating disorder, he is honest about it, trying desperately to feel better and get healthy. He is warning those who can be honest with themselves, to be careful, lighten up and enjoy life. His message also, is that he admires Dr Peat for his brilliance and hard work on the subject of eating for your metabolism. Joey doesn’t agree on everything Dr Peat does, but Joey is honest. If you have read all the Forums and groups of Pro Metabolism Eating, then you know that what Joey is saying is true. People argue & defend it like a religion. Why? It’s the most flexible and pro choice plan I have ever in my 76 years seen. You choose what you wish to eat out of many things. Joey is very clear and honest about what he believes and what he doesn’t agree with about Ray Peats Pro Metabolic Eating. Over all, he is in favor of Dr Peat. But he doesn’t agree with how others interpret Dr Peats words.

Joey highlights the true 'Ray Peat' message and that is taking steps to alleviate the effects of stress and high cortisol levels on our health. He encourages us to not to be a slave to any restricting dietary beliefs not even 'Peatarianism' as, Ray Peat merely offers guidelines that he believes are valid from his decades of research and experience. He merely points the way to better hormonal health which will nourish and energise the entire body and Ray never maintains that one diet (his) fits all, but avails his expertise for the health conscious and sick to try on for size. Joey finally encourages that one drops the stress of eating 'perfectly' and begins to trust in the feedback that our own bodies can give us as to what suits and what does not and mentions that in his experience, there are not only dietary ways to relieve stress and he enumerates other tools to improve health as well!

What an awful booklet!! A complete waste of money. It is as though he has barely researched Dr Peat's articles, he pus questions up that he thinks Dr Peat has not supplied , if he had researched , both through Dr Peat's own articles on his website or listened to any of Dr Peat's YouTube videos , of which there are over 600!!! All his article are well referenced. So much so that the references are longer than the article! So far I have not see anywhere that Dr Peat recommends cake unless it is milk powder pancakes! I am still researching Dr Peat's articles. Re the indigenous Inuits who apparently having no insulin resistance , according to this author says, as Ray Peat says that insulin resistance is caused by too much polyunsaturated fatty acids, not carbs, (PUFAS )and basically the Inuits have mostly PUFAS in their diet rather than saturated. However, how would he know about insulin resistance in the Inuits as they eat a ketogenic diet whereby they do not need insulin most of the time, that does not mean they do not have insulin resistance if they were to have a diet that contains carbs and PUFAS. This Author sets out to be non biased, but he is against mostly Dr Peat's recommendations and tells people to eat what they crave!! Yeah! Right! Nothing is referenced. And there is nothing helpful in this book.
