Even though I agree with most of her conclusions， some of her arguments were shaky at best。

I can count on one hand the number of health related books I would recommend and this is one of them。

I’m going to be recommending this book to a LOT of people。 I had no idea my constant cold hands and feet were a metabolism issue， that I was over-hydrating myself， my dairy issue was actually a gut issue， and my midday energy crashes weren’t normal。 I can already notice the difference in my body temperature and energy levels just by eating well every 3-4 hours。 Everyone’s nutrition requirements and journey will look different， but our health is a worthy investment。

One week in and already feeling warmer after meals， happier， way better mood and tons more energy。 Switched from a mostly keto diet to a metabolism based diet。 Most helpful information for me were the ideas that processed foods， grains nuts and seeds should be avoided and the benefits of going organic。 I'm excited to see what it does for insulin resistance as I struggle with type 2 diabetes。 One week in and already feeling warmer after meals， happier， way better mood and tons more energy。 Switched from a mostly keto diet to a metabolism based diet。 Most helpful information for me were the ideas that processed foods， grains nuts and seeds should be avoided and the benefits of going organic。 I'm excited to see what it does for insulin resistance as I struggle with type 2 diabetes。 。。。more

Great information There is so much great information in this book。 Really helps you look at a lot of the diet culture advice and break it down。 A way of getting back to the basics of what food is supposed to do for your body

I didn’t dislike this， and I am intrigued by this way of eating… I’m just massively confused with some of the key messages which fly in the face of everything I’ve read on healthy eating in the last few years。 I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve read a little more on the topic！

Fantastic！For the last 10 years I've been in a journey to heal my body。 I feel like the final piece to the puzzle just clicked into place。 I knew Paleo diet left my blood sugar a wreck and didn't feel right。 I knew the healing power of bine broth and gelatin and have used daily for 2 years。 I have been mostly grain free （except for white rice with ghee） for a decade now， I can't tolerate any other grains。 I've been doing a lot of the things advised in this book， just by feeling out what felt rig Fantastic！For the last 10 years I've been in a journey to heal my body。 I feel like the final piece to the puzzle just clicked into place。 I knew Paleo diet left my blood sugar a wreck and didn't feel right。 I knew the healing power of bine broth and gelatin and have used daily for 2 years。 I have been mostly grain free （except for white rice with ghee） for a decade now， I can't tolerate any other grains。 I've been doing a lot of the things advised in this book， just by feeling out what felt right for me。 I learned the benefits of working out from a place of rest and focusing on lymphatic flow and fascia health （T-Tapp for the win）。 I've seen huge improvements in my body temperature and gut health。。。but I still kept tanking with energy and blood sugar。 And despite eating well， being active but not too active。 I still carry extra （I feel unnecessary） fat stores at my hips and thighs。 Thanks to this book I now understand how to create a balanced meal to finally get my blood sugar and metabolism where I want it！ I'm excited to out these ideas into practice。 。。。more

Mind blowing Everything I’ve learnt over forty years of managing weight and healthy eating， have been blown apart from this book。 However the one thing I know for certain is that with food there is no one diet that fits all。 We all need to research and experiment to find what suits us。

There was a little too much fiction in this book for me， but it had some good points。 Just make sure you research behind what this book says

One more book on what to eat， when to eat， etc。 But I feel like this really resonated with me， as it is a balanced approach to eating。 I love what she said about how if you find yourself not hungry， that is NOT a good thing。 That means your metabolism is slowing down， which you do NOT want。 She shows how you can and should probably be eating more calories in order to increase your metabolism。 She shows you tangible ways you can see how your body is doing in this area by taking your temperature a One more book on what to eat， when to eat， etc。 But I feel like this really resonated with me， as it is a balanced approach to eating。 I love what she said about how if you find yourself not hungry， that is NOT a good thing。 That means your metabolism is slowing down， which you do NOT want。 She shows how you can and should probably be eating more calories in order to increase your metabolism。 She shows you tangible ways you can see how your body is doing in this area by taking your temperature and pulse。 After reading， I am back to drinking raw milk and orange juice！ 。。。more

A really fascinating & scientific exploration of our metabolism。 The author debunks many fitness and wellness myths out there while providing scientific resources for many different nutrients and foods that are often absent from our diets。 I will say she seems to take a really strict approach to metabolism health。 So i think there are definitely parts of this to apply & parts to realize that it may not matter for some of us。 I read most of the book thinking， “well what should i actually eat？” An A really fascinating & scientific exploration of our metabolism。 The author debunks many fitness and wellness myths out there while providing scientific resources for many different nutrients and foods that are often absent from our diets。 I will say she seems to take a really strict approach to metabolism health。 So i think there are definitely parts of this to apply & parts to realize that it may not matter for some of us。 I read most of the book thinking， “well what should i actually eat？” And the only explanation for that is her example meal plan， which， in my opinion， doesn’t give a whole lot of guidance。 Nonetheless the resource itself would prove valuable to anyone interested in nutrition or in the wellness or medical industry。 。。。more

Very informative indeed。 Pretty much turns the mainstream advice on it's head。 Definitely worth reading if interested in Dr Ray Peat & the blog Cows Eat Grass。 Very informative indeed。 Pretty much turns the mainstream advice on it's head。 Definitely worth reading if interested in Dr Ray Peat & the blog Cows Eat Grass。 。。。more

There are references in the back of the book but most doesn't seem to have much research to support。 Much of the book is written to say things like I believe or in my opinion。 If you want to drink a ton of milk， oj， ice creams this might be a good read for you。 There are references in the back of the book but most doesn't seem to have much research to support。 Much of the book is written to say things like I believe or in my opinion。 If you want to drink a ton of milk， oj， ice creams this might be a good read for you。 。。。more

This book is an awesome resource for anyone interested in Ray Peat's work and want an easy way to digest it。 However， some of it is too extreme and though the author says she is over her disordered eating， when you demonize any food， it doesn't seem believable。 This book is an awesome resource for anyone interested in Ray Peat's work and want an easy way to digest it。 However， some of it is too extreme and though the author says she is over her disordered eating， when you demonize any food， it doesn't seem believable。 。。。more

Well laid out scientific approach to how our metabolism works and what supports or suppresses our metabolism。 I still don’t know how I feel about not restricting sugar， but it’s definitely eased my mind on some of the principles regarding carbohydrate consumption。 It’s not a one size fits all “diet” book which I appreciate。 Every person is unique and therefore needs to eat different things in different ratios。 Worth the read when there’s so many “restricting macronutrient” diets out there。 She r Well laid out scientific approach to how our metabolism works and what supports or suppresses our metabolism。 I still don’t know how I feel about not restricting sugar， but it’s definitely eased my mind on some of the principles regarding carbohydrate consumption。 It’s not a one size fits all “diet” book which I appreciate。 Every person is unique and therefore needs to eat different things in different ratios。 Worth the read when there’s so many “restricting macronutrient” diets out there。 She recommends restricting grains， legumes， and beans， due to their ability to act like estrogen in the body and their metabolism suppressing nature， so there’s at least a scientific reason for it besides “you’ll lose weight because you’re starving yourself！” Read this book and you’ll be surprised at how your suppressed metabolism is behind a lot of your issues！ 。。。more

This book is a treasure trove of information。 I have been learning a lot in the pro-metabolic circle of health and there is such good information in this book！ If you have ever been curious about your metabolism， if nuts & seeds are really all they are cracked up to be （ha！）， and if you are eating the right foods to support your body - read this book！Highly recommend！

The good: based on the studies of Ray Peat， Kate convincingly argues against many of the dogmas present in current diets such as Paleo， low-carb， vegetarianism， veganism， etc。The bad: before even finishing her reflections on how she was brainwashed by past diet fads and how bad that was for her health she starts preaching her brand new dogma （which is basically a carbon copy of RP’s ideas）。 Nuts are bad for you。 Salmon is a no-no。 Pasta？ What kind of monster are you？Now isn’t that wild？ How we c The good: based on the studies of Ray Peat， Kate convincingly argues against many of the dogmas present in current diets such as Paleo， low-carb， vegetarianism， veganism， etc。The bad: before even finishing her reflections on how she was brainwashed by past diet fads and how bad that was for her health she starts preaching her brand new dogma （which is basically a carbon copy of RP’s ideas）。 Nuts are bad for you。 Salmon is a no-no。 Pasta？ What kind of monster are you？Now isn’t that wild？ How we can be so blind and dogmatic a nanosecond after recognizing that we had been blind and dogmatic for decades before we finally saw the light？ What is it that keeps us from realizing that we’re doing the same thing all over again？ Humans， man， we’re funny。Also worth mentioning is the fact that Kate is clearly out of her depth here。 It’s quite plain to see， especially if you visit her Facebook page and read her posts and replies， that she doesn’t really understand the science she’s paying lip service to。 Which I totally get， since I’m kind like that too。 You see， we orthore。。。 I mean， we health enthusiasts， we read a lot about nutrition and memorize some impressive mechanisms and fancy words like catecholamines， and can impress a great deal of people at the bar。 But the pretense can only go so far， even more so if you expose yourself through social media。All in all if you want to exorcise your sugar and carb phobia， this book is a good read and its prose much clearer than Ray’s。 But if you think you can skip the stage of becoming dogmatic about something else all over again you might be better served by going straight to some intuitive eating literature， where people don’t claim some foods are intrinsically good or bad and teach you to listen to your body， the highest authority there can be on， well， you。 。。。more

OK， this is my umpteenth book on health and nutrition （and life after a low carb or ketogenic diet）， so I am getting a good idea of what more authors think apart from the ones strictly devoted to the low carb/keto/paleo cause。 And this is what I think: this book is a good read， do give it a try， especially if you're struggling with a sluggish metabolism since going low carb/keto and especially if you are clinically hypothyroid。 But do take the book and the author's recommendations with a pinch o OK， this is my umpteenth book on health and nutrition （and life after a low carb or ketogenic diet）， so I am getting a good idea of what more authors think apart from the ones strictly devoted to the low carb/keto/paleo cause。 And this is what I think: this book is a good read， do give it a try， especially if you're struggling with a sluggish metabolism since going low carb/keto and especially if you are clinically hypothyroid。 But do take the book and the author's recommendations with a pinch of salt and do make sure you read more books and authors， for example Paul Jaminet's "The Perfect Health Diet"。What I find positive about this book:- Kate Deering takes her time to explain the science behind Ray Peat's and her own diet recommendations， but my opinion， based on other sources I have read， is that at times the explanation can be flawed， so do read it critically。 For example it is stated that all cells can utilize fructose， because fructose does not require insulin to get into cells。 This is simply not true。 Fructose can only be metabolized in the liver where it is converted to glucose （which can then be used as fuel by all cells or stored） or fat。- She recommends everyone step away from low carb or keto diets and go for a high carb （and relatively low fat） eating plan - this can be viewed as both a good idea， since many lowcarbers definitely feel better on a higher carb diet， and a bad idea， since there might still be many people who can't thrive on a high carb diet。 But to help everyone minimize any negative effects， she recommends carb intake be increased very slowly， and this is definitely good advice。- This is yet another book that tells us that PUFAs and a high muscle meat intake are bad， while saturated fat， cholesterol， salt， coffee， gelatin/collagen/bone broth and organ meats are good for us。 Hallelujah！ We need more books with this message。- Fruit， even fruit juice， is exonerated。 Yaaaaay！ Lowcarbers could definitely benefit from adding more whole fruits to their diet。- Dairy is vindicated as well。 Thank God for that。- Starch （except for white and sweet potatoes） and grains， as well as nuts and seeds and legumes （especially soy） are condemned。 This message is not new， of course。- Emphasis is on healing and not on weight loss。- Readers are encouraged to eat more and exercise less。 Hallelujah！- The importance of balancing blood sugar （by eating the right kinds and amounts of carbs， combined with protein and fat） is emphasized - always a good idea。What I find negative about the book:- The message to drink a lot of milk and fruit juice and eat more sugar than most authorities would advise still seems suspicious to me。 Then again， Kate Deering urges her readers to take it slowly and observe how their body responds。- Having read the Jaminets' defense of starchy foods， I am slightly suspicious of this almost total condemnation of starch。 People have been consuming （safe） starches for ages， they can't be that bad。 On the other hand， I do agree that even starch intake should be moderated。- The thing that bothers me the most about this approach is that you are still advised to count calories， even though you are allowed to eat more。All in all， my opinion is much more positive than negative。 But even if a low carb diet can be harmful for many people long term （and beneficial for others）， do take it slowly， when you start increasing your carb intake。 As with many things in life， your mileage may vary， so make sure you read your body's signals right and do not dismiss them。 。。。more
