Probiotic Fibers And Flatulence; My N=1
Way back in the beginning of experimenting with resistant starch via supplemental [easyazon_link asin=”B004VLVCGU” locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”fretheani-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]potato starch[/easyazon_link] the most common side effect by far was rather impressive amounts of gas, or “fartage,” for most people. Some couldn’t tolerate it while others, like myself couldn’t help but laugh uproariously. Unless you’ve……...

Read MoreThe New Nutritional Starvation Diet
Is the horse I’m beating dead, yet? Well, get it while it’s hot, I guess. Dogpile! So yesterday’s installment was about how difficult it is to source a lot of fat from animals in the wild, most places. Duck added a supplemental comment as well. And, what with Chris Kresser (Is a Low-Carb Diet Ruining Your……...

Read MoreHunters Of Wild Game Can’t Remain In Ketosis
Below, I have another Duck Dodgers post for you, derived from a comment on a previous post. But first, you’ll recall a recent post; wherein, I made mention of Part 1 of a Catalyst episode on the gut microbiome: Australian Catalyst: Gut Reaction; It Signals The End of VLC and Ketogenic Diets For Everyone. Part 2……...
Read MoreLife Drain? Money Drain? Or Both?
I ought to have learned this lesson from my The-Great-Depression surviving maternal grandparents; or, from my WWII surviving paternal grandparents, who managed to immigrate penniless to the former “Land of the Free” with 6 kids; to Ellis Island, in 1952. Greyhound Bus cross country to their sponsored settlement in Reno, Nevada. Five of them still……...
Read MoreJust Piss In The Italian Wedding Soup Then
I’ve always liked the sign above the cash register in cafes throughout America: “We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service.” Freedom Of Association means nothing in the “Land of the Free,” anymore. Government to Farmers: Host Same-Sex Wedding or Pay a $13,000 Fine But the New York State Division of Human Rights doesn’t see things……...
Read MorePodcast Interview: Paleolithic vs. Neolithic Social Power
Finally, someone interviewed me about something other than food and guts. Moreover, something I think I speak with more authority, as I’ve been studying and writing about this stuff for 23 years and there’s not an argument in the universe I haven’t seen 100 times. Justin Wisor is a young fella of about 21 but……...
Read MoreObserving Myself Get Fucktarded: Eating Crappy For a Month
I didn’t set out to do an experiment and in fact, it’s not even as poorly controlled as are most of my haphazard hacks. So, rather than call it a “self experiment,” I think I’m going with: “observing myself get fucktarded.” Deal? I just fell into it. Around the last week or two of July,……...
Read MoreRichard Ridiculous
I lafed at myself over the podcast interview I did yesterday, beginning about 35 minutes in, here. Spent a good hour being interviewed by John Harris and Andrew Weaver, two pretty funny guys. We basically talk about gut health in general, Paleo diet, barely get to resistant starch in the hour we had. But it……...
Read MoreLogic 101: Why The Resistant Starch And Gut Biome Revolution Means Doom For VLC/Keto
It has gone way beyond an embrace of resistant starch. Back in the day—meaning about a year ago—my Google alerts delivered webstuff on RS a coupla times per week, at best. Now, it’s a half dozen per day as the world comes to realize the enormity of the gut’s profound influence on health in the……...
Read MoreAustralian Catalyst: Gut Reaction; It Signals The End of VLC and Ketogenic Diets For Everyone
I’m blown away. You’ll see. The last week, I’ve been at a rural mountain place where data is quite fast, but metered; and since my brother pays for it, I have to shuttle stuff away for later. …And so it was when a commenter, last week, clued me in to another Catalyst program from Australia……...
Read MoreGut Biome Book Update: Intestinal Fortitude
Intestinal Fortitude is the working title. Credit: Mark Sisson for the idea. I like it. I feel compelled to give an update about the progress of the book originally launched by Tim “Tatertot” Steele and I last December, incorporating Grace Liu as Science Editor in February. The reason is simply that I keep getting emails……...
Read MoreWhy Are Americans Such Fucktards About Food For Kids?
I’ve blogged about school lunches a few times before. Here’s my favorite: It’s The Crap; Just Eat Real Food. American School Lunch Industrially Manufactured Frankenfood America: the fucktarded land where kids can’t even get a freshly made fucking PB&J sandwich for lunch; no, they have to come industrially assembled in a factory with bulk-purchased, cheapest possible……...
Read MoreNewsflash: Whores Work for Money, Not Votes or Wishes
It is so laf. STUDY: You Have ‘Near-Zero’ Impact On U.S. Policy A startling new political science study concludes that corporate interests and mega wealthy individuals control U.S. policy to such a degree that “the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.” And… Who……...
Read MoreRobin Williams
It is truly heartbreaking. For me. …Just another one in the million or so blog posts about him, but I’ll make it brief. I wasn’t going to say anything at all, but then I heard an interview with a “mental health professional” on NPR just a bit ago during a round-tripper to the market. “Nobody……...
Read MoreI’m Officially a Nomad
In the planning for a while, now. At the end of July, Beatrice and I moved out of a 3-BR house and took a small, 2-BR apartment near her work. For the month previous, we did three garage sales and sold countless things via Craigslist (with 100% success—that service is an amazing value). The other……...
Read MoreOh Myyy; Prof Tim Noakes Really Exposes Facepalm Ignorance
I wrote this on FB: I’ll say it, gladly: Professor Tim Noaks is an ignoramus. There. Actually, that’s rather kind because the only other option would be to call him a liar. He can take refuge in ignorance, though. It was in reference to this piece of outrageous, preposterous nonsense for the benefit of VLC……...
Read MoreAntibiotics Carpet Bomb Guts, VLC Diets Starve Them: Case History DIY Fecal Transplant from Karen Pendergrass (#AHS14 Supplemental)
I’ve been razzing AHS a bit last couple of days. There was yesterday’s post on Survival of the Richest, and you can see what sorts of stuff I’ve been putting out on Twitter with the #AHS14 hashtag. Yes: stuff that ought to be being addressed at AHS, but either isn’t or is very underrepresented amongst……...
