This is the physique of one of the fittest men in the world, Denis Vasilev.

Peating is fun. Put gelatin and sugar in your coffee, use aspirin, and occasionally take a giant dose of a first generation antihistamine that makes you tired for four days because you saw some unhinged anon on the ray peat forum talk about it

The Lindy filter is legitimately the best heuristic for evaluating what's healthy. Even if it turns out I've been psyopped into eating a lot of grass fed bison, at least there's historical precedent for that. If you get psyopped into drinking nut milks, there's no hope for you

Top 5 supplements of 2023:

2. Carrot Salad
3. Figuring out if megadoses of Thiamine or Niacinamide make you feel better and sticking to it

Peat, Pavel and my own experience inform my perspective on lactic acid from exercise
"The Burn" is NOT the goal. You can accumulate volume and build strength without burning yourself out. Glycolysis is inefficient and pollutes your body.

Another peat/Pavel correlation. Peat advocated for concentric exercise because of the anabolic effects. In Pavels “quick and the dead” routine, which is entirely concentric, swings and plyo pushups, test increases and cortisol decreases were observed in test subjects

Peating is moving to a climate with sun in the winter and some elevation for higher co2 levels.

Human equivalent dosages for the tumor killing stack.
@SageSocial1
Daily dose (administered once daily, orally): ~15mg/kg vitamin B1 (thiamine), ~30mg/kg vitamin B3 (niacinamide), ~1.5mg/kg vitamin B7 (biotin), and ~15mg/kg aspirin. Not high at all. No known human toxicity at those doses for any of the compounds.

Denis says “I believe that the heavy barbell training is good, but developing a quite narrow sector of abilities, where high volume develops a very wide sector of abilities (strength, endurance, strength-endurance, accuracy, balance, requires mobility and flexibility)."

Danny Roddy says some of the most unhealthy people he sees are young, lean guys that are hitting the gym too hard. Bad digestion, too much cortisol.
Backing off a bit, walking, spending more time outside, less hard cardio helps them recover quickly.

Blood test since trying more peat principles (~8 months)
* TSH way down
* Test up
* Cholesterol slightly high, but much lower than when trying keto
* Blood sugar now high end of normal
* Vitamin D high for February
Now we think, perceive, act, and test again in 3-4 months

There's a list of obscure stuff that I feel like consistent d3/k2 and milk consumption has solved for me, but I won't bore anyone with the details. After going cold turkey on supplements and slowly re-adding, I keep coming back to only creatine, d3/k2, aspirin as needed

I don't know what the best diet is. I make changes, see how I look, see how I feel, get bloodwork done every 6 months.
Peat has been enlightening. I will probably keep carrot salad, coconut oil, bone broth, shellfish, thiamine, and aspirin a couple times a week.

As it gets colder and darker, I get generally less interested in meat, unless it's in a stew.
My desires are mostly potato, squash, root veg, cheese, dairy. Oysters, of course, are best in winter too. Going to lean into this.

My favorite way to get more gelatin recently has been adding it to a tea
Add .5 or 1 tbs gelatin powder to raw cream and stir it together, then add your hot water and tea and honey

Did two workouts in this style this week. The concept, at its core, is 4-6 swings or snatches on the minute for 30-40 minutes.
Simple, but it explicitly trains the creatine phosphate system in quick bursts and allows it sufficient recovery.
Notes:
I love Pavel books. High concept, low tech programs. Incredible simplicity backed by a lot of science.

This doesn't mean you must train super light, though.
Short intense bursts with plenty of rest in between, known as "repeat training", allows you to deplete the efficient and powerful creatine phosphate system without generating lactic acid.
A 1:4 work/rest ratio is ideal.

10 explosive Kettlebell snatches every 90 seconds is a simplistic example. You can accumulate volume, train at very high intensity, and stay pretty fresh.
When you start failing the talk test, you are done with power training for the day.

I found peat a few years ago after trying veganism as part of an elimination diet to fix my gut. It made things worse, but it also gave me gyno symptoms from (I think) oat milk PUFA and pea protein. I was given nolva by an endo, which triggered terrible E + adrenaline issues.

"Alactic + Anaerobic" training is characterized by short bursts of ballistic exercises with plenty of rest, repeated for 20-40 minutes- think 5 snatches on the minute.
A+A increases your glycolytic threshold, meaning you can perform more work before creating lactic acid.
Exhaustive exercise => Obesity & room temp IQ
Just one bout of exhausting (aka lactic acid producing) exercise is enough to:
-Skyrocket cortisol
-Lower metabolic rate, leading to weight gain
-Lower body temperature, which is directly correlated with lower IQ
Avoid!
