The Ray Peat Survival Guide: Understanding, Using, and Realistically Applying the Dietary Ideas of Dr. Ray Peat Paperback – 19 Jun. 2014

A very simple breakdown of the work of Dr Ray Peat. As someone who has been “Peating” for a year now I have been trying to get my father on the bandwagon. However, I was never good at explaining Peats work. This book worked wonders and it was a great simple introduction to those who wish to explore Peats work. Thanks for this book!

Very good advice for wanna-be Peatarians!Short and pithy book,but with plenty of wisdom, encouragement and what comes over as learned understanding.

Joey highlights the true 'Ray Peat' message and that is taking steps to alleviate the effects of stress and high cortisol levels on our health. He encourages us to not to be a slave to any restricting dietary beliefs not even 'Peatarianism' as, Ray Peat merely offers guidelines that he believes are valid from his decades of research and experience. He merely points the way to better hormonal health which will nourish and energise the entire body and Ray never maintains that one diet (his) fits all, but avails his expertise for the health conscious and sick to try on for size. Joey finally encourages that one drops the stress of eating 'perfectly' and begins to trust in the feedback that our own bodies can give us as to what suits and what does not and mentions that in his experience, there are not only dietary ways to relieve stress and he enumerates other tools to improve health as well!

What an awful booklet!! A complete waste of money. It is as though he has barely researched Dr Peat's articles, he pus questions up that he thinks Dr Peat has not supplied , if he had researched , both through Dr Peat's own articles on his website or listened to any of Dr Peat's YouTube videos , of which there are over 600!!! All his article are well referenced. So much so that the references are longer than the article! So far I have not see anywhere that Dr Peat recommends cake unless it is milk powder pancakes! I am still researching Dr Peat's articles. Re the indigenous Inuits who apparently having no insulin resistance , according to this author says, as Ray Peat says that insulin resistance is caused by too much polyunsaturated fatty acids, not carbs, (PUFAS )and basically the Inuits have mostly PUFAS in their diet rather than saturated. However, how would he know about insulin resistance in the Inuits as they eat a ketogenic diet whereby they do not need insulin most of the time, that does not mean they do not have insulin resistance if they were to have a diet that contains carbs and PUFAS. This Author sets out to be non biased, but he is against mostly Dr Peat's recommendations and tells people to eat what they crave!! Yeah! Right! Nothing is referenced. And there is nothing helpful in this book.

I feel liberated to eat more to keep my metabolism working better. That's my main take away from the book. But I still have a firm eye on eating natural, organic, and as free of addatives as possible,

This is a fantastic book, honest and down to earth. I really enjoyed it. It is well-written and informative. Thank you!

Joey does it again with his practical insight, this time into the ideas of Ray Peat. I highly recommend reading Joey's other books as well..

Very disappointing! There should be a book ombudsman to complain to.
