Yeah, this is sure a leap of faith, but I'm willing to give it a try the more I've been reading about Ray Peat. I truly feeling that trying to emphasize thyroid health is probably my number one issue right now - with blood sugar control and losing more weight being numbers two and three.

I have to say that eating ice cream instead of broccoli sure appeals to me too, . I've been trying to follow a low carb eating plan for blood sugar control - though actually my best control of the last couple years was when I was trying to follow the Kwasniewski plan which also emphasizes eating potatoes, and limiting protein. I do know I need to keep protein on the lower side, and great hunks of meat make my blood sugar go up. All I know about what Ray's program actually entails is what I've read in this thread, though, so I'm not totally sure about what to eat.

I have to admit I've never liked orange juice and the thought of drinking it has absolutely no appeal to me. But at the store earlier today I bought some small fresh blood oranges, and some tangerines. Also some grass-fed cream and half-and-half to help hold me over until Friday when I get my bootleg raw cream and pastured egg delivery. I already use coconut oil daily. I made a custard today using grass-fed half-and-half, one pastured egg, a spoonful of molasses, and some unflavored beef gelatin. A little bland but not bad. I had that with a potato sliced into chips and cooked in coconut oil, and then topped with some butter and salt, and a small wild-caught piece of fish also sauteed in the coconut oil. Earlier in the day eating was not so great.

But I guess I need to start figuring out what might be allowed or not allowed and make some menus. I was excited as it was my birthday a couple days ago and I got a $75 gift certificate to amazon, and I though, "cool, maybe Ray has a book and I can buy it at amazon with my gift certificate". But alas, no such luck. No books there.
