Obsessive-compulsive disorder can be profoundly disabling, trapping people in relentless intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that consume hours of every day. A newly published case report describes full remission of severe OCD after adoption of a ketogenic diet. It is early evidence, but given the low risk, nutritional ketosis may be a reasonable option for patients and clinicians to consider alongside standard care.

If dieticians studied anthropology then they would know that it is ignorant to say “our ancestors ate lots of vegetables.” Wild plants were seasonal, sparse, fibrous, and low-calorie; meat provided the bulk of nutrition.

Every chronic disease blamed on red meat skyrocketed only after meat intake fell and processed carbs, seed oils, and sugar exploded.

The “Paleolithic people died at 30” myth is the weakest argument in modern nutrition. Infant mortality/infection/injury pulls down the average. Adults routinely lived into their 60s, 70s, and beyond...

Most foods dominating the modern diet are younger than the light bulb. Yet we blame ancient foods (meat) for modern diseases.

Obesity is reversible with a Proper Human Diet, and here's the key difference between a PHD and other diets, you get to eat until you're full.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Don't let this holiday derail your progress. A little strategy makes the whole day easier. 1. Fill up on meat and eggs before you go. Eat a plate of meat and eggs at home so you arrive barely hungry. This one step prevents most bad decisions. 2. Lead with protein at the table. Fill your plate with turkey, ham, beef, and deviled eggs. Eat all of it. Then excuse yourself to the restroom for five minutes so your satiety signals can catch up. You’ll find it much easier to say no afterward. 3. Pick your carbs on purpose. Choose the one or two lower-carb dishes you genuinely enjoy and skip the rest. Mindless eating is what wrecks people. 4. Avoid grazing. One plate, maybe one small follow-up. The all-day nibbling spikes glucose and insulin far more than the meal itself. 5. Skip All liquid sugar. Sweet tea, punch, sodas, fruit juice and dessert cocktails look harmless but are the fastest way to wreck blood sugar today. 6. Take a short walk after the meal. Ten to twenty minutes is enough to blunt the glucose rise and help your body metabolize the food. Or, take another restroom break where you do as many air-squats as you can to allow your muscles to pull that glucose out of your blood stream. 7. Don’t let leftovers drag this out. Enjoy the day, then get right back to normal tomorrow. Toss all the naughty leftovers but save the meat & eggs... 8. Focus on Family/Friends, not the food. You might discover that your family is cooler than you thought! (This works for any family/social gathering)

All babies start out interested in real food, grabbing at whatever you're eating, gnawing on anything you'll give them; meat, eggs, even liver. It's only after you spoil (ruin) them with the little sugary crunchies that they start turning up their nose at real food.

GM!

No one way of eating is best for everyone, but one of these ways is best for you.
