The Peat-atarian Diet For Those Of Us With Average IQs

"I read a lot of stuff regarding nutrition. It has been an active hobby of mine since 2008. Although it was the Paleo Diet that rekindled my interest in nutrition, today I consider myself more in the Weston A. Price camp. I explained why in the post The Endgame for Paleo is WAPF. I’ve been successful on both diets. Earlier this year I started reading about the dietary views of Dr. Ray Peat and his followers. Unlike Paleo or WAPF, which are easy to understand on the surface, the Peat-atarian articles are quite intense. They aren’t user friendly"

The Vegetarian Myth

For anyone who has ever been accosted by angry vegetarians, we recommend this book - although it won't be too shocking to anyone familiar with Weston A Price findings, we gather it's quite a challenge for vegetarians and particularly vegans.

While we wouldn't give it a 100% rave review - at times when it gets into topics other than nutrition it goes off the rails (for example the graph on page 251 referring to climate is one of the most meaningless charts ever published!), but it's very entertaining and well written, as well as a scary insider account of what veganism really does to people - well worth reading.

Fat Head

This movie was brilliant, and the website is great too! - 

Comedian (and former health writer) Tom Naughton replies to the blame-McDonald’s crowd by losing weight on a fat-laden fast-food diet while demonstrating that nearly everything we’ve been told about obesity and healthy eating is wrong. 

Along with some delicious parody of Super Size Me, Naughton serves up plenty of no-bologna facts that will stun most viewers, such as: The obesity “epidemic” has been wildly exaggerated by the CDC. People the government classifies as “overweight” have longer lifespans than people classified as “normal weight.” Having low cholesterol is unhealthy. 

Lowfat diets can lead to depression and type II diabetes. Saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease — but sugars, starches and processed vegetable oils do.

 

Best Foods for Cats

For an excellent guide to feeding cats we highly recommend Natural Nutrition for Cats by Kymythy Schultze 

Hi Kymythy

Many thanks for all you fantastic advice and for helping people think about things beyond feeding their pets as well – like avoiding microwaves and fluoridated water.

Our own cat is a third generation raw organic food cat who weighs in at 18lbs of solid muscle – he’s never tasted cooked food, and he’s never been sick.

I think Natural Nutrition for Cats would also make a brilliant book for human diet with barely any changes – especially the part about avoiding grains….

Cheers Ian

ps. Here’s a pic of our cat Christo 

Dear Ian,

Well thank you for making my day!  Yes, I totally agree with you about the cat diet being good for we humans also (with a few more above-ground veggies added).  Your cat Christo is a very handsome boy...and a very fortunate cat to have you to care for him! 

I am a big fan of the Weston Price Foundation...how wonderful that you have a chapter in your area!  I sure wish I could visit it in person as I have wanted to see New Zealand since I was a child.  Please let me know if I can be of any help to your efforts to help others.

Thanks again for the email,

Kymythy

Principles of healthy diets brochures

We’ve been passing these out because they are such a brilliant summary in one small brochure. They cover Weston A Price’s studies, traditional diets, fats, dietary dangers, bogus politically correct nutrition, saturated fats, fat soluble activators, common myths about nutrition, dangers of soy, and more. For anyone who would like to see one there is an online copy here:
