If you find yourself gaining weight while on a ray peat style diet, take a look at how much fat you are consuming. Are you consuming the same amount of fat you were back when you were on a low carb diet? You’re probably going to gain weight (yes even if you’re eating saturated fat). While in the healing stage, it is especially important to eat lower fat so your body can adapt to using carbs as fuel! Once your metabolism starts revving up, you might start adding a bit more fat in BUT you might find you don’t even want to. And when I say low fat, I mean getting 20-25% of your calories from fat instead of the 50% many of us are getting without even realizing it. You don’t need to eat a ribeye with butter on it, and a side of full fat milk, and a side of fatty mashed potatoes with cream and butter! Eat a sirloin instead cooked in a bit of ghee. Skim your milk. Have a baked potato with a bit of butter (it’s about balance) Before the supermarket, if someone was eating butter it was because they had skimmed the fat off their milk to make that butter. No way were they going to let that precious milk sugar and protein go to waste so guess what they were drinking? SKIMMED MILK. Where is my research? 🧐 I have done it myself and it has worked and heard countless stories of this working for others as well! And I really wish I would have known this years ago, instead of going through a weight gain and loss rollercoaster. #peatstr

I love collecting old cook books, and this is one of my favorite finds. It was printed in 1965 and shows menus from around the world, then tells you how to cook their signature dishes. This menu is from The Four Seasons Hotel in New York City - known for its EXPENSIVE, luxury dining. If I was eating here I would get: - Iced brochette of shrimp - $2.50 - Beef marrow in bouillon - $1.85 - Calf’s liver and prosciutto, Venetian style - $5.25 - Lamb steak in sushi curry with mango rice - $5.85 For a grand total of $15.85, I could eat like a queen at one of the fanciest restaurants in the US! Today, I’d be lucky to get in and out of chipotle for that much (would definitely have to skip the guac). Crazy what #inflation can do in 60 years! #asknostr what are you getting off this menu?

GM 🌞 Today I am grateful for 1. My lovely yogurt bowl with fruit and maple syrup 2. The clear skies and warm sun 3. The birds that chirp in my neighborhood #asknostr What are you grateful for?

Essential oils are not what you have been led to believe. They are derived from volatile plant defense chemicals. The most upsetting part is that people using essential oils are often doing so because they care about their health enough to avoid artificial fragrances. Essential oils are to artificial fragrances what supplements are to pharmaceuticals. A step in the right direction but often times still harmful. This is one of the many reasons I am creating my own tallow based skin care - I only want whole plant extracts, not volatile compounds, on my skin!

Modern feminism is #sexist Modern feminism is based on the premise that jobs God uniquely created for women are so worthless, that women must try and imitate men’s jobs in order to have value in society. Men cannot grow children in their bodies. Men cannot feed their families with substances produced by their body. These capabilities are UNIQUE to women. Real #feminism would celebrate these God given capabilities and maximize women’s freedom to do these things, rather than enslave them to the 9-5 grind.

GM Remember to hydrate today! P.s. plain water isn’t hydrating!! instead add minerals/salt to your water, drink bone broth, herbal teas, and eat fruit with salt!

The devil’s greatest trick is convincing people he isn’t real. People who have had supernatural experiences spend so much time convincing others their experience was real, rather than asking the question - was this experience of Christ or of the anti-Christ?

GM Life is a lot like the ocean. We can’t control the ocean, whether it is rough or calm, where the currents go. It’s so much bigger than us. But we can choose to either go in the ocean and ride the waves or standby and watch.

Just because something is natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you. My mom was told she had high cholesterol but she didn’t want to take a statin. A “holistic” doctor recommended a red yeast rice supplement. I looked into it and told her not to take it because even though it’s natural, it’s chemically identical to a prescription statin drug. She took it anyway. A month later she told me every other night she was waking up do to severe leg cramps which she had never experienced before in her life. Leg cramps are a side effect of statins. She stopped talking it and the cramps went away. Say it again. Just because something is natural doesn’t meant it’s good for you. Many supplements are just rebranded pharma. #healthstr

If you had acne as a teenager, you also had that one friend who never washed their face or did any skincare but somehow had perfect skin Maybe they were on to something I haven’t washed my face with anything but water, oil, or honey for over 2 years and my skin is the best it’s ever been. #lessismore #healthstr

Idk who needs to hear this but just because you know the sun is medicine and doesn’t cause skin cancer doesn’t mean you can’t go in the shade if you’re feeling a little toasty. You can also put on a hat or wear a linen shirt at the beach. It’s okay. Animals have always intuitively sought out shade especially during the hottest parts of the day.

I make almost all the food that my husband and I eat. Given the same spread of food, we manage to have wildly different plates. Guess whose food is whose 😂

At one point I thought I wanted to keep some of my saving in fiat instead of bitcoin, that way I could dip into my savings without feeling bad about it Then I realized that’s the whole point. Bitcoin reframes what is worth spending money on. If you wouldn’t use sats to buy it, you shouldn’t be buying it. #bitcoinfixeseverything #bitcoin
