My Interview With Dean Dwyer of Being Primal – Richard Nikoley: Unplugged and Uncensored-Part 1
A while back I was contacted by the wild & crazy Dean Dwyer who in a short time has really made a bit of a splash with his funny antics on video. Being a vegetarian for 20 years, taking up paleo / Primal, getting impressive results and now sharing what he’s learned with others seems…
Read MoreReal Results Video Interview – Chris Tamme – 100 Pounds Lost
After watching my interview last week with Timothy Zork, who lost 80 pounds by “going Paleo,” Chris decided he wanted to be next on the list and immediately emailed me and we set things up. He sent over a number of before and after pictures. I’ll present a couple of them here and the rest…
Read MoreFriday Odds & Ends (Video Interviews)
~ Have you checked out Dean Dwyer and his Being Primal site? Coming out of nowhere, he’s getting amazing comment traffic on his posts. Take a look at some of them and especially, videos, and you’ll see why. For instance, his first bacon in 20 years. He’s funny, wild and just enough crazy. And because…
Read MoreReal Results Video Interview: Timothy Zork – 80 Pounds Lost
This is something new. It’s for the masses; knowing, as you do, how much I’m all about the downtrodden, helpless and disadvantaged. But enough about them. We’re here to check out the life & times of one 28-yr-old Timothy Zork: basically a fat boy since he was a kid. Yea, he was “that fat kid”…
Read MoreTwice Baked Potato or Potato Skins?
A little of both, actually. I’ve never looked at a recipe but a twice baked potato includes scooping out the insides, whipping them up like mashed potato, then putting them back in the skins to bake. Potato skins typically includes bacon and some cheese as the base, melted into the skins. But how about a…
Read MoreThe Supplements I Take and Why I Take Them
The Roundup In general, I think less supplementation ought to be the goal, in favor of eating the best quality diet of “Real Foods” you can. That said and with the precautionary principle in mind, I think there are a few that deserve consideration. For the most part, there is an evolutionary basis for these,…
Read MoreA Weight Loss Progress Update
Just a note about how things are going lately in shedding the roughly 15 pound gain I reported about in this recent post. Back down to 180 as of this morning, three pounds off since AHS, and things are moving well. Some moderate carbs but not excessive, my morning Huge Fat Bomb smoothies, doing intermittent…
Read MoreVitamin D: Slathering More Sunscreen Equals Buying More Sunscreen, Study Finds
But Don’t Let Unbridled Reductionism Stand in Your Way Virtually everything I see out of dermatologists is crap. And while I understand fully how they are necessary, given our current state of affairs, needing to save lives made victims of their own pronouncements (in my view), it’s a vicious circle that irritates me unlike much…
Read MoreLiquid Fat Bomb Smoothie: The Ultimate “Energy Drink” That Will Blow Your Mind
Today’s Breakfast. Recipe and Macronutrient Breakdown Below. You have to laugh. In today’s world of industrially engineered food and drink, the term “energy drink” is merely euphemism for sugar drink. Yea, some are laced with caffein, for added “energy.” And naturally, engineering being what it is, you don’t even have to look to know that…
Read MoreThe World’s Best Beef Jerky
That’s me eating some, right there. I have been disappointed for many, many years in the total crap they call “beef jerky” that comes in various packages in supermarkets and convenience stores. Oberto plain old natural can work in a pinch, because unlike all the other crap, it actually almost tastes and almost has the…
Read MoreAncestral Health Symposium Controversies Podcast: From High Heels to Gary vs. Stephan #AHS11
“This is like being IN the Internet” – Stephan Guyenet Stephan’s bit of off-cuff, characteristic insight rippled far beyond the presenter and volunteer party, before the actual event began, and has carried forth since. It may have been the base concept that ultimately described in the fewest number of words what this was really about.…
Read MoreAnthony Colpo: Call Your “Friend”
[See the update at the end of the post.] I guess it was a day or so after #AHS11, when I was drafting the post about my presentation and gathering the stream of live Twitter reactions, that on a whim, I decided to search for my last name. Some people I guess weren’t aware of…
Read MoreNo Church Revival: #AHS11
The plan came together at the start of my AHS Presentation. I was lucky enough to be on the email distribution of the first emails that went out in 2009 about this great event. But when Brent and Aaron asked me to present, I asked why…what with Eaton, Cordain, Eades, Linberg, et al presenting; why…
Read MoreHuman Animals Eating Animals #AHS11
It seems to me that hands down, the most heralded eating experience of the whole #AHS11 affair was Animal Restaurant. Everyone who was anyone gave it a shot. We went on Friday night. Skyler made the reservations a week or so in advance. Ham (get it?) Enough of fucking Skyler, for now. Let’s get to…

Read MoreThe Beautiful People of the Ancestral Health Symposium #AHS11
OK, here’s the first post featuring photos taken by others during the AHS. What you should note is the huge percentage of people who look like a human animal should look, and it’s not just body composition, but skin tone, hair, absence of redness and inflammation, and bright eyes. Of course, Vegans and Vegetarians with…

Read MoreCrazy Stupid – Paleo – Love #AHS11
It’s 2:11 AM Just got up after a couple of hours sleep. Bea’s right behind, sleeping soundly near as I can tell. And I’m filled to the brim with a mix of love, adoration and euphoria, such that I figured it was time to get my ass out of bed and write about it instead…
