I've seen Ray peat start to rival the popularity of carnivore as of recent. As a former Ray peater myself, I can personally vouch for the diets downsides. Anyone who genuinely wants to looksmaxx should avoid this diet at all costs.
RAY PEAT SUMMARISED
The goal of the Ray peat diet is to optomise hormones, in paticular the thyroid gland.
WHY SHOULDN'T YOU FOLLOW THE PEAT DIET?
THE HEALTH SIDE
As you've seen before, the main food source when following ray peat is carbs. Another thing when following ray peat is that it's suggested to eat regulary, even into the night.
I really shouldn't have to explain why this is bad but I will anyways..

So all that processed sugar they promote as good (besides making you fat and not being used as energy) is actually going against the main goal of ray peat (lowering stress) j f l

So we already checked the stress cope off the list, now metabolism? Sounds like this diet may not be as cool as those tikoks make it sound.

Because constant raised insulin levels weren't bad enough from the other 2, we obviously have to nuke them even more through abusing fruits.
the science behind his sugar cope is simple. You need energy fast, so you get it in the fastest way possible - sugar. But this is only beneficial to athletes, otherwise it will be coverted to fat. As we've stated earlier
tldr of this section:
Ray peat is a one way trip to diabetes.
Ray peat is even anti fermented foods holy cage.
Seriously how can anyone take this diet seriously?

Coincidentally, fermented foods are anti diabetic, I'm starting to think this guy was just paid off by big pharma to promote their goy propaganda.
This guys even anti iron now?

"Iron: Excess iron promotes oxidation and inflammation. Avoid iron supplements and donate blood if ferritin is high."
Sorry but iron deficiency is one of the most common things in modern times, and a huge looksmin for alot of people. The idea that somehow people will have excess iron is ridiculous, do not avoid iron. Most of the most nutritious foods are packed full of it.

To check off another cope from his list, anemia hugely impacts your energy levels.
This mf promotes smoking
While you will be consuming more co2, your lung tissues will be severely damaged by smoking, and as a result, oxygen transportation efficiency will be severely lowered.
Even in an imaginary world where it did, the negative effects of smoking are so severe it would be far better to just do regular cardio.
tldr:
Peat uses outdated science to cope with his shitty habits.
Another case in point:
THE BEST LOOKSMIN DIET?
Physical alterations associated with the Ray peat diet:
. Cavities
. Acne and other skin conditions
. Chronic bloating
. Teeth staining (caused by coffee + smoking)
. Pale complexion
. Hair thinning
. Puffy eyes

Yes ray peaters genuinely hold the same beliefs as nocturnal Kent, and I wouldn't be suprised at all if that's where he got it from. I'm not here to debate the science of it, but we all know that the only thing that dictates your bone growth is genetics.
MY EXPERIENCE
I started ray peat late last year (note i never consumed processed sugar). I originally loved it, it was incredibly filling and I felt alot more free in my diet, but excess sugar from fruit stresses your body in all the same ways that processed sugar does. I started noticing I'd get pimples, I never got pimples beforehand when I would infrequently consume fruit and fruit juices. It felt harder to stick to my diet because of my increased hunger cues, I stopped doing my 24 hour fasting and was constantly bloated as a result.
Ray peat works by reeling you in with the idea that you can eat slop whenever you want and experience all these benefits. The truth is that ray peat is outdated, and all modern science goes against the peat ideas.
While the science woes you with big words, the science is wrong and outdated. Please look into things yourself before you follow them.
