Haven’t watched your interview yet, but funny that I just discovered this guy a couple days ago because he’s just started a 5,000 calories a day challenge eating mostly fat and protein: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvycTi6Ta7Y

I’m slowly collecting stories and data on how stupid the calorie theory is for when folks hand-wave everything and spout the usual “it’s all about calories in/out” nonsense: http://highsteaks.com/forum/whatever/calories-in-vs-calories-out-overfeeding-underfeeding-46.0.html

Interesting results. Sam told me the result so far is that he’s lost a little bit of weight.

Bill C, physicians and PhD’s are some of the most stubborn people you will ever meet. Only politicians are more stubborn. When physicians and other doctors get together with politicians and bureaucrats, don’t count on them ever changing their minds.

Tom,

when you have a minute,
please take a look at my friends site http://www.mattmetzgar.com

Some really thorough studies are pointing to the importance of sat fat vs unsat fat ratios.
Matt is dissecting it pretty good right now.
He will be again presenting at AHS this summer.

Keep up the good work and thank you for making me snort coffee up my nose
with your hilarious account of your night patrol

Marc

Sorry about the coffee-snort.

I would like to second (third?) the recommendation for the electric fence. But maybe get a game camera first and set it to video mode so you can enjoy the “lesson”.

We have to have an electric fence around our garden because of raccoons. I wouldn’t mind sharing a little with wildlife, but the raccoons destroy the plants in the process of raiding the garden.

Game camera is on the way. It’ll be interesting to see what lurks around the barn at night.

Cool interview. So that is your office not straightened up? Geez, mine doesn’t look that good when I have worked to spiff it. If my company ever starts doing video-meetings I’m going to have to hang a curtain behind my work desk.

I appreciated your details on how you and Chareva implement the high fat low carb eating in your family. I often feel kind of isolated with most of my friends and all my family still eating the low fat dogma three meals a day. And my personal trainer has quit bugging me about my diet but is clearly not happy with my choices. I’ve ordered Volek’s two books in order to work out how I need to eat for my high energy training sessions since I get no support from him. Hearing your family’s typical eating patterns and seeing that it matches my own pretty closely (and knowing you have worked directly with some of the experts) makes me feel more confident in my diet in the face of all the silent opposition I get.

I’m a neat-and-tidy type, so “messy” for me would look fine to most people.

My son told me that his 7th grade PE class would be watching Supersize Me this week. I asked him if they would also watch Fathead. He didn’t think so. He said that he would like to sneak in and switch it out with Fathead and really educate the students.

I still wonder why with all those schools showing “Super Size Me,” more teachers don’t bother to check Spurlock’s math.

My salt shaker is half-and-half Lite Salt (for the potassium) and Real Salt mined sea salt.

Please do your research before commenting. They don’t remove 70% of the stomach. A few key-strokes on Google will show you what Roux-en-Y really does.

Google takes me to articles stating the remaining itty-bitty stomach is the size of an egg.
