Who is Ray Peat? Ray Peat is an American neurochemist and physiologist well known in America, specializing in nutrition and endocrinology, and whose articles on diet , metabolism, the role of hormones in regulating body weight and health have become so famous that he has a series of followers called “peatarians”. Various books have been written on his theories, and Ray Peat’s work is frequently cited and appreciated by dieticians and nutritionists around the world . In Italy, Ray Peat, who teaches abroad in various universities and is the subject of a real “cult”, is practically unknown. It’s a shame, because Ray Peat is a real thyroid wizardand the role of hormones in diet and weight regulation.

So much so that we talk about a ” Peat diet “, a diet based on the teachings of Ray Peat and which would allow you to lose weight while eating your fill and without counting calories, increase metabolism, reduce the effects on the health of the slow metabolism, stress and hormonal problems. I myself follow some indications taken from Ray Peat’s articles, and I must say that some of his insights are extraordinary, but very different from our idea of ​​proper nutrition. Ray Peat in fact advises against eating cereals and legumes(but not carbohydrates, they just have to be simple), essential fatty acids omega 6 and even omega3, while instead he states that if we want to have a fast metabolism we must not be afraid of saturated fats (like coconut oil) and sugar, especially way in the form of fructose.

For those with hormonal problems and a slow metabolism, Peat recommends eating ice cream and advises against drinking too much or using too little salt!
Does that seem absurd to you? Here are some tips to try the “Peat Diet”, lose weight and increase your metabolism.
Try the Ray Peat diet for fifteen days. It sure doesn’t hurt, but it could make you lose weight while eating.
