Dr. Peat is very clear that he views personal health as a very individualized thing. There is no cookie-cutter approach. Therefore, he doesn’t offer a strict protocol that all people should follow. However, there are some basic guidelines that come out of Dr. Peat’s writings. My understanding is that Dr. Peat makes the following dietary suggestions for improving metabolism and thyroid health.

Eat adequate protein, favoring dairy and gelatin. Dr. Peat also likes shrimp and oysters because of their copper and zinc content. Dr. Peat also seems to be favorable of occasional consumption of liver, eggs, and some muscle meat (eaten with gelatin.)

Eat plenty of sugar throughout the day, and favor sugar over starch. Best sugar sources are from non-allergenic tropical fruit, oranges, and melon. Honey is a good sugar source as well. Other sugars, including refined white sugar, can be useful as supplements.

Eliminate polyunsaturated fats as much as possible. Eliminate all polyunsaturated vegetable oils such as corn, soy, canola, peanut, and sesame.

Eat some amount of saturated fats, particularly coconut oil, because these stimulate a healthy metabolism and can displace stored polyunsaturated fats.

Use salt to taste and in times of stress. Salt reduces stress and is thermogenic, meaning it improves metabolism.

Reduce fiber intake since excessive fiber is an irritant and estrogenic.

Drink coffee with plenty of sugar and cream whenever eating food with lots of iron.

Get plenty of calcium, up to 5 grams a day, supplementing with eggshells if necessary.

Funkar ju inte på en sockerråtta® som mig!

Någon enkel självklar förklaring till att socker är att föredra framför stärkelse?

Obviously this view of sugar is quite different than most other nutritional advice that a person is likely to find. However, Dr. Peat makes a strong argument for the value of sugar. Adequate sugar in the diet provides fuel for oxidative energy production. In the absence of adequate sugar the body will begin to use other sources of stored fuel, but at a cost of systemic stress leading to increased aging.

Hur som verkar det väldigt konstigt alltihopa (ursäkta subbis!). Man får nästan en känsla av att det går ut på att göra allting tvärtom va?

Men det var väl ingen förklaring! "In the absence of adequate sugar the body will begin to use other sources of stored fuel" - häh? Hur många sorter finns det? Lagras socker och stärkelse på olika sätt?

Tja det beror väl på vilket håll man kommer ifrån. Om man svalt argumenten från LCHF så är det ju förstås väldigt  motvalls.

Och stärkelse metaboliseras som fett då? Annars förstår jag fortfarande inte hur det där förklarar varför socker är bättre än stärkelse. :devil:

Erkänn nu att du inte förstår det du heller!  :lol:

Det där med att andas i en påse kanske man skulle prova... det kan ju vara en lösning på många problem - om man bara håller på tillräckligt länge...

OK, du vinner! Det där går inte att argumentera mot!  :lmao:

Ska läsa hela sen (!!!). Det var bra skrivet.

Han är ju snygg också!  :duckboob:

The feeling of both being tired and a rise in adrenaline would be a battle in my body. Usually the adrenaline won and I’d get up despite wishing I could sleep a few more hours. In the book Eat for Heat, Matt describes a sugar and salt mixture used stop the stress hormones.

5 parts sugar
1 part salt
mix it up

It works. I’ve been using this trick for a few weeks. Sleep is now winning the battle with the early morning stress hormones. My success rate is about 80%. This is a huge win.

You don’t need to just use this hack if you wake too early. It could work whenever you feel the stress hormones rising. I could see this being an excellent strategy for those that eat emotionally to reduce stress or even as a tool to help get to sleep.

Idag har jag ätit en köpeglass och en klick gelé med socker i. Nöjd? Fast mitt problem är inte direkt att jag vaknar för tidigt...

Glukos är essentiellt - glukoneogenesen är nog mer ett "reservsystem" än "designat"(blink!) för att vara "primär leverantör"...

“There is a great anti-sugar cult, with even moralistic overtones, equating sugar craving with morphine addiction. Sugar craving is usually caused by the need for sugar, generally caused by hypothyroidism. When yeasts have enough sugar, they just happily make ethanol, but when they don’t have sugar, they can sink filaments into the intestine wall seeking it, and, if the person is very weak, they can even invade the bloodstream and other organs. Milk, cheese, and fruits provide a very good balance of nutrients. Fruits provide a significant amount of protein. Plain sugar is o.k. when the other nutrients are adequate. Roots, shoots, and tubers are, next to the fruits, a good carbohydrate source; potatoes are a source of good protein too.” – Ray Peat PhD
