It seems that life gets easier and easier sticking to my “Peaty” ways with my food choices, the environmental changes that I have made and because of my good habits. I still make food timing and pairing important and I stick to my 10:30 bedtime. My sleep is excellent and I am back to dreaming this last couple of years, something I hadn’t really done since my early thirties. I took this photo yesterday. It was 80-degrees here and whereas in my thirties, forties and fifties I would have not dared to get into shorts until June, here I am in February feeling great in them. Back then I would have dine some crazy dieting and a tanning cream to get bravely into that pair of shorts. Below my knees would be hard to tan back then too and I would get sunburns in the beginning. Since “Peating” and depleted my skin of the polyunsaturated fats I had been I haven’t had to use any sunscreen in years. My skin seems to have a natural good and even color to it all year round now. Where so many are struggling with their New Year’s resolution to get that holiday weight gain back off I never gained a pound. I spent much of my life trying to like my body and could never have imagined I would, finally, at sixty-one years old. I am forever grateful to Dr. Ray Peat.
P.S. My legs are not as dark as they look in this photo, it is just that my bathroom is a little dark at certain times of the day.
