“Whatever the Peaters do, consider doing the opposite.” . Stops grounding, EMF maxxing. Stops getting sun, LED’s for life, who needs vitamin D?. Stops eating fruit, honey, and maple syrup, ammonia maxxing. Quits coffee, sadness ensues. Stops avoiding PUFA and treats canola.

Next up: Vitamin E . I grew up consuming lots of seed oils. So when I first started taking vitamin E, I noticed a huge difference with my skin and overall inflammation. Pros: clear skin, energy, reduced inflammation. Cons: I haven’t experienced any cons.

The hardest thing for me to swallow when I started Peating wasn’t the sugar but eating lower protein than I was as a carnivore. But I feel so much better restricting my protein to one meal a day.

My current diet: . Breakfast: candied ginger. Lunch: a bowl of jello with blueberries, honey and a little salt. Dinner: a more normal dinner. Some kind of meat, cottage cheese, broth, carrot salad, and a little bit of starch or fruit. I’ve felt great doing this.
