What the hell is Peating? - and why does this Ray character like orange juice so much?

[NoReturn]

I've seen mention of this stuff online and in health circles, but an explanation doesn't seem forthcoming.
With other diets it seems obvious.
Low carb = Fewer carbs
Keto = Lots of fat and protein, no carbs
Vegan = No animal products
So what's the deal with this Peating stuff?

lol. Peating, Peaty, etc is a reference to a guy named Dr. Ray Peat. He was a complete crack pot nutritionist who claimed some wild shit. The no fun-niks over at rational wiki have a page. At some point he got a forum dedicated that became a haven for schitzos and shit posters. Today he's mostly a meme used for making fun of people taking nutrition too seriously. There's no strict Peat diet, just some out lines like avoid unsaturated fats/vegetable oil and eating a lot of sugar. There's a few Peaters who are basically more insane versions of the Sun Your Balls guys.
