Meats should be from ruminant animals for their saturated fat content. But again if you go for muscle meats you should try to balance the tryptophan content by consuming some gelatin with the meal to ensure a balance of amino acids in digestion and uptake. Carbohydrates as mentioned above should be consumed with protein so that you do not waste the protein in gluconeogenesis converting protein to glucose and thereby reducing the amount of materials available for muscle and body repair processes.
Interesting! So, healing the gut can have a dramatic domino effect! Could you give a condensed summary of Ray Peat’s general diet recommendations?
