I just saw this retweeted by Dr. Michael Eades. How did I miss this?

Wow very interesting! I love meat, but love fresh veggies equally. I am doing high protein, low carb with calorie counting. I haven't had any processed sugar or grains in almost 5 weeks and I feel great. Maybe down the road I will try that for a month!

Hey, cool @FIT_Goat! Great photos and interview. :-)

Thanks for posting @wabmester!

I think "celebrity" is an awful big stretch. LOL

I did this one a few weeks ago, after my first full year of no plants. There's another shorter one from 8 months that I was talked into doing. Same photo. Clearly I need to update my picture.

I thought about linking to this interview, when it happened, but I sometimes push my meat-only agenda too hard as it is.

You share what works with confidence

That is a good thing

As a bonus for my MFP folks, here's the photo of my fridge that is very obviously missing from the interview (and surrounding text).

These days, I count and monitor almost nothing. I weigh myself daily, although I don’t care if it goes up or down, and I keep an eye on the level of meat in the fridge. I don’t want it to get too low. I have one shelf just for me, I prefer to keep it looking like this.

There’s about six pounds of ground beef, 15 pounds of ribeye, and some leftover roasted leg of lamb (in the container at the front left). You can’t see the second five-pound tube of ground beef, it’s under the container in the back. That one has a chuck steak. This is the only thing I worry about when it comes to food. If that shelf gets bare, I need to go to the deep freeze or get to the store.

Nice article. Good job in the interview @FIT_Goat. I plan on reading The Fat of the Land now. Thanks!

@FIT_Goat I found your interview to be really interesting and I read quite a few of zerocarbzen's links about healing through meat only diets. I have a long time interest in natural healing including fasting, herbs, juicing, mushrooms, but I had never heard about healing on meat only diets before or Salicylates intolerance.

Yay! Good timing to find the link to Fat of the Land! I'd only been able to find a portion of it before. I'm starting ZC today!

Honestly, The Fat of the Land was a life-changing book for me. I'm sure most people won't be as changed with it as I was, but the whole idea that Vitamin C wasn't an absolute requirement for human life was the opposite of everything I had taken as truth for my whole life. I just "knew" that humans can't make their own, like most animals, so we needed to eat food with it. That anyone would challenged that statement, let alone prove that statement wrong, was just one of those brain smashing moments.

I also love that most of the common fears people have about low carb diets (kidney problems, heart attacks, etc.) were all fully formed and existing back in the 1920s, and Stefansson believed put to rest by the study he participated in. Of course, we know it didn't really make people stop repeating those fears.

I warn you, the pemmican chapters can be a bit boring. Especially if you're not into that food product and its history. But, they still have interesting tidbits in there. Best of all, reading them got me a question right at a trivia night that I would have had no clue on otherwise. lol
