In a nutshell I would say that Peat suggests eggs, milk, shellfish and one serving of meat daily for protein. He does not recommend too much meat because the cysteine in it turns off the thyroid gland temporarily. He recommends only saturated fats such as butter and coconut oil, along with small amounts of olive oil. For carbs he recommends potatoes and other root veg and fruit (tropical fruit in particular). He frowns on grains and gluten as most LC gurus do, but says that occasional use of oats, rice and masa harina are okay.
He works very well for people with thyroid and adrenal issues. All my fellow hypos that have followed his plan have lost weight and gotten healthy. In fact, my friend had been trying to get pregnant for two years and she had only been on Peat for a month when she conceived.
