In this thread, ill be talking about Raymond Peat and his works. Hope you enjoy bhai
DIET:
“The Ray Peat diet works to correct hormonal imbalances and improve metabolism through ‘pro-metabolic’ dietary changes,” says Erin Holley, a registered dietitian at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus.
Examples of PUFAs include:

Books: Nutrition for Women: 100 Short Articles Ray Peat, Generative Energy: Restoring the Wholeness of Life, Progesterone in Orthomolecular Medicine. You can also find lessons on youtube

QUOTES:
Cell Stiffness and Degenerative Changes Unrelated to Cholesterol
"The actual physical stiffness of whole cells and their surroundings is very important. For example excitotoxicity (Fang, et al., 2014), and other forms of energy depletion can stiffen cells, and prolonged energy depletion and inflammation lead to degenerative changes—tissue calcification, fibrosis, and invasive, disorganized cell movement, for example. These stress related stiffenings of the cell substance and matrix have nothing directly to do with the local quantity of cholesterol.
Hypothyroidism Effects on Muscle Fatigue and Metabolites
"When metabolic energy is failing, as in hypothyroidism, muscles become easily fatigued, and take up excess water, and the barrier structure is loosened, allowing macromolecules and ATP and other metabolites to leak out, while extraneous substances enter. Typical muscle enzymes such as lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase appear in the bloodstream in typical hypothyroid myopathy, and heart proteins, including a particular form of lactic dehydrogenase and a muscle protein, troponin, appear in the blood after a heart stress or fatigue combined with hypothyroidism or systemic inflammation."
Bodily Experiences Influencing Vitality and Physiology
"Our bodies are constantly having experiences, and generalizing from them in the way they respond; these generalized responses can limit or expand our vitality. These generalizations are expressed in our anatomy, physiology, and ecosystems, with changes in immunity, metabolism, gene expression, and behavior."
Substance-Induced Brain Growth and Efficient Energy Use
"-progesterone, glucose, or glycine which was converted into glucose (Zamenhof and Ahmad, 1979)—increased brain growth, by increasing either the supply of energy or the ability to use energy effectively"
Thyroid as the Fundamental Anti-Stress Hormone on the Cellular Level
"On the cellular level, stress lowers the energy charge. Systemically, stress inhibits oxidative metabolism. Both of these observations indicate that the basic anti-stress hormone would be thyroid."
I reccomend you guys to also search up other dietitian like Aajonus Vonderplanitz, or simply doing your own research and finding what is best for you.
idk if this is good enough but here anyways

- Healthy fats, such as coconut oil and butter.
- Dairy products, with a strong emphasis on milk, cheese and ice cream.
- Lots of fresh fruit and fruit juices.
- Root vegetables.
- Protein from muscle and organ meats.
- Collagen, a protein the body uses to keep bones, tendons and muscles strong and support skin health.
- Eggs.
- Shellfish
Examples of PUFAs include:
- Nuts.
- Seeds.
- Fatty fish, such as salmon and mackerel.
- Vegetable oil.
- Canola oil.
- Corn oil.
- Soybean oil.
- Walnut oil.
- Cottonseed oil.
- Peanut oil.
- Flaxseed oil.
- Margarine.
- Energy or granola bars.
- Potato chips.
- Fast foods and fried foods.
- Coconut oil.
- Butter or ghee (clarified butter).
- Tallow.
- Nuts, seeds and nut and seed butters because of their PUFA contents.
- Low-quality, highly processed foods, such as packaged or fast foods, also because of PUFAs.
- Beans, lentils and other legumes because they are high in fiber, which Lerche says the body isn’t designed to digest readily and can tax the system, leading to reduced thyroid function.
