“This is not a weight loss journey, it’s a health gain journey.” — Jimmy Moore, chief goal post mover Too bad if you don't like it. People keep sending me stuff, and it's jaw dropping. As I've said before, if Jimmy was just Joe Citizen I wouldn't give a hoot, would feel sympathy for him, and wish him well. But I can't, now, and if it sounds crass not to wish the guy well, consider that his well ...

Combining Foods To Control Glycemic Response
You don't need an obsessive, stupid low-carb, high-fat or ketogenic diet to control and mitigate glycemic response from whole food carbohydrates. What you need is to start using your brain. I came across this post someone had emailed me the link to some months back as I was doing some email housekeeping yesterday. Thought I'd share it as I finish the draft of my next post about high protein ...
I’m On Instagram
I've had an account for some time, but haven't used it in some time. That's changing, so most image related stuff I do (food pics, doggie pics, nature pics, etc.) will go thrpough Instagram, first. You can follow me here. ...

Sunday Church For Ketotards
Two items to cover today. But first, let me make a distinction. When I use the derogatory term "Ketotards," I'm talking about the version of chronic ketosis where one or more of the following applies within the framework: Calories don't count if you eat enough fat Protein intake has a glucose and insulin response and must be severely limited Ingesting exogenous ketones (as dietary intake ...
Flashback: Dr: Michael Eades on Low-Carb and Calories (hint: they count)
Once I saw it this morning somewhere, I recalled reading it way back. How soon we forget. On Dr. Mike Eade's Protein Power blog: Low-carb and calories Some nice gems. Let’s look at what happens when we cut carbohydrates in the diet. First, we don’t get enough carbs to replenish our blood sugar, so the body has to convert protein to glucose to make up the difference. The signal to do this ...
Tom Naughton Wants Jimmy Moore To Have His Cake and Eat It Too
Tom Naughton, of Fat Head documentary fame, is a pretty sharp and clever guy, which makes this post so bizarre. He's a former successful stand-up comedian—PG Rated—an entrepreneur software developer, and is tenacious enough to write, film, and produce his own successful documentary which is still relevant in a number of ways. So what gives, then, with his rather nonsensical and ridiculous ...
Listen Up: Calories Count. Period
(Post dedicated to Mr. Lyle McDonald, who's always been right about this) Dismiss the unbridled deconstructionists and reductionists who say stuff like "we don't burn calories, we metabolize molecules," and other such twists on that. It's like saying there's no point in using a ruler or tape measure because it's all atoms and sub-atomic particles. It's worse than tossing the baby out with ...
Arthur De Vany on Facebook; 1985 Paleo
For years and years, people have been asking me, "where is Art De Vany?" Right here. Take an old narrative, make money and prestige off of it, then defend how right and just you were from the beginning, for the rest of your life. I generally laugh at the idea. Sure, perhaps you're Einstein and your ideas still stand up to thousands trying to falsify them. Rare. Usually, everyone including ...
Want To Get Uber Fat? Jimmy Moore Can Help You
I was on a forum the other day and someone posed the question: how might they gain weight on a ketogenic diet. The answer to the question is obvious. Jimmy Moore is the world-champion for gaining weight on a low-carb or ketogenic diet. Nobody comes close to how many pounds he can pack on "gaining health" whilst fleecing sycophantic morons who lack so much core conscience that they don't give a ...

I’ve Gone and “Cyberbullied” Poor Jimmy Moore
Someone messaged me this yesterday. It's From Jimmy Moore's Livin' La Vida Low-Carb group on Facebook. Oh, cry me a river of orange-flavored exogenous ketone-drink, Jimmy. What is it? Eight YEARS now, since 2008...you know, back when you were still doing reasonably decent with that 180-pound weight loss under your belt by following a sensible, Atkin's style low-carbohydrate diet with ...
The Whole Dramatic Story: Neighbor Files Civil Harassment Restraining Order Against Me
It all began one late afternoon two months ago, February 12, 2017. While we have a doggie door and fenced area in back, they're dogs. Periodically they must absolutely see if the rest of the yard checks out...not to mention the added necessity of marking a perimeter. Those pungent aromas don't last forever, you know. They require regular and continued maintenance. So I let them down in front ...
More High Protein Meals
Time for an update on how it's been going with the high protein, generally trade off carbs and fat. So, good protein all the time, but when higher fat, then low carb and when higher carb, low fat. You can see the last post and pics here. This last dish was helped quite a bit by how I use the Lose It! app, which is the ...
Our Freeloading, Rent-Seeking, Parasitic Civilization
I'm in no mood and this is no April Fools... I was emailed by a friend yesterday asking what I think about this (links here and here): Meh...all were doing is twiddling our thumbs right now. The welfare state (which is 200 trillion in debt), is in the process of collapsing in on itself (look at federal and state pensions currently going bankrupt and slashing pension payments because they're ...
Alex Tizon: The First Intellectual I Ever Met
Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, author, and journalism professor Alex Tizon died in his sleep a couple of nights ago at 58, no apparent precursors anyone was aware of. You know how that happens, young and by surprise. Chief candidates are aneurysm, stroke, myocardial infarction—the surprise killers. He was 58, showing zero signs; lean and vibrant health. I wrote this on Facebook this ...
A Longevity Juxtaposition: Ron Rosedale vs. Arthur De Vany
This is a post for health science geeks. Yesterday, I posted about how focussing on lean protein—while trading off fat and carbohydrate—might do two things, particularly in the context of overweight folk who might, both, want to drop the weight...while, also, resetting or reprogramming their neurological "setpoint" that motivates biological insatiable drives to want to defend or regain it via ...
Using Protein To Rewire Weight Set Point
Ever since reading Stephan Guyenet's book, The Hungry Brain: Outsmarting the Instincts That Make Us Overeat, I've been mulling over protein. I fist discussed it towards the end of this post, including a comment by Stephan himself on the subject. The idea is simple: Target lots of lean protein. When eaten with higher fat, go low-carb. When eaten with higher carb, go low-fat. I'll give ...
Embrace The Coming Slave Economy
We already know that a slave economy raises all non-slave boats. Consult history. The problem, economically, was that there were problems with the slave stock that were human in nature. Like pregnancy, slave-owner abuses over "insubordination," as well as slave-owner sexual preferences over the wife unit... The list goes on. Even if all that could be managed in purely economic terms, you ...
