Such an insightful article! Do you have any recs for foods that meet the 1:2 P to Ca ratio? I have been researching online and it is staggering how many foods have a higher phosphorus to calcium ratio.
Hi. So, loved the article. I would like to tell about my expérience. Well, it was almost carnivore. Weston Price. I have started weston price diet in 2020, the covid year. I was in good health, but the world got nuts, and for me, when I have discovered WP on instagram, it was like : that is the thing, we should est like this, help our farmers, New rebel is raw milk, f***the gouvernement system etc. I was like 38 years old and I am an educated woman, but I fell in it. Bonne broth too. So 4 years later, 12 kg more, hi , very high cortisol, prolactine, hystamine (bone broth made me sick), too much of meat and fish oil made.me fall down with à very sévère flu. So now I am trying to come back do good sens. Tuff. But I am sure I Will manage this
Thank you for sharing this, Tamara. I do appreciate the work of the WAP foundation, but I agree that they miss the mark on some things, particularly the over-emphasis on eating a lot of animal fat and the demonization of all carbohydrates, including fruit. Wishing you all the best in your journey back towards balance!
Hello Kaya, wonderful article. What specific ancient grains do you eat regularly? Also how do you make sure you are getting enough omega without having fish oil or cod liver oil?
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. Wheat varieties such as spelt, emmer and kamut/khorasan are pretty solid choices. Most grains imported from Italy (such as types of imported pasta) tend to be high quality.
I’ll also say that I have been eating more foods as of late that are probably made with the more modern wheat varieties (couscous, cakes, cookies) and my body feels quite well with these, but the tolerance to wheat/gluten is very individual, and I just seem to do well with these.
As per omega-3s, most animal foods include traces of them, but I would just go for any seafood that you like. My personal preferences and what I tend to eat are mussels, oysters, fish eggs, white fish, and sometimes wild-caught salmon.
So much great information, as usual. You mentioned that one of your main concerns was your skin. Thats been my issue for the past 5 or 6 years. What would you say was the most beneficial for you in that regard?
Hi Millie, I'm glad you enjoyed the article :) Diet wise, limiting foods that produce excess endotoxin, that being anything that I can feel upsets my gut in any way, creates excess gas, etc, has been helpful. For each person, those foods will differ. The "Ray Peat Carrot Salad" seems to help too, by improving bowel frequency and helping to remove endotoxin and estrogen. Eating at maintenance also helps. Caloric deficits tend to free up tissue-stored toxin at a rate often faster than what the liver can detox, so the toxins come out through the skin instead (especially if the person has a high toxic load). Eating enough helps to circumvent that. Apart from diet, psychological stress seems to be a massive player in skin issues, as it compounds with any biological stressors going on. Topically, honey and fresh aloe vera seem to really accelerate healing when needed.
Either I'm reading this too late or I spotted a typo that needs clarification:
"Burning fats for energy produces 50% less CO2 than burning fat. "
Thanks for spotting this, will fix!
Haha I love this sentence - If this state becomes chronic (such as when choosing to stay alive when eating zero carbs) 😂
Such interesting info Kaya! Especially about high cholesterol actually indicating low thyroid. Makes a lot of sense for my family.
This is really great reading. Looking forward to more :)

Thank you so much. What about Einkorn Flour? https://jovialfoods.com/100-organic-einkorn-all-purpose-flour/
Also what if someone doesn't really love seafood - should they still try to eat it?
