In this episode of What the Fat, I talk about my time in Las Vegas and racing exotic Supercars. I take my time on the track and look at how I can apply each thing I learned from racing and put it towards my everyday life. It’s analogies like the ones I came across in racing that really push you forward in everyday situations. I give my top 5 takeaways from this experience and look at how each can help progress you forward.

Takeaways

I had five major takeaways during my time racing exotic supercars in Las Vegas. Each analogy helped me gain more perspective on how to navigate not only the track but through life.

In this episode of What the Fat, I talk about the upcoming documentary Game Changer. In it, actor Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about not necessarily needing meat in order to be a pro-athlete and how a plant based diet can be just as beneficial. I challenge the concept of a plant based diet being healthier and better for the environment. I take a look at more than just the surface level arguments and dig deep in order to uncover the truth and present the facts.

Takeaways

I take a look at how meat based diets might not leave as much of a carbon footprint as a plant based diet. I also uncover common misconceptions that people have when it comes to the consumption of meat versus plants.

Why did we do what we do? Think about that for a second…what gets you out of the bed when you feel like pressing the snooze button? What pushes you to keep working an hour longer when it would be easy to pack up and just quit for the day? What keep you traveling around the world – learning, speaking, and sharing your message with the world when it would be a lot less hectic to just stay home? No matter what it is that you do you are anchored to your “why.” In this video, I open up to you about MY WHY

On September 10,, 2002, my grandmother passed WAY TOO young. She was one of the brightest lights in my life. Losing her was devastating for me and my entire family. It changed my entire thought process and left me with so many questions - why did this happen? How did this happen? Is there something I could have done to change it? I spent the next several years studying her autopsy report which described her as “An obese woman in moderate to severe respiratory distress, lethargic.” That left me with a chip on my shoulder because that does not describe the rock of my entire family at all. This ate at me day after day. I knew I would have to make a decision – let this piss me off for the rest of my life or take the opportunity to actually be the change. Welcome to my mission….

No matter how hard it is to get up in the morning or get on a plane and leave Scott, I always know deep down inside that I have a moral obligation within me to share what I have with the world. I’m striving to leave a legacy and help as many people along the way as possible. I want people to understand the importance of not only nutrition, but health as a whole including perspective, gratitude, and positivity. I’m blessed to have an angel watching me over me as I go through this amazing journey called life. And when it is my time to reunite with her I only pray that I did everything possible to carry on her legacy and make her proud.

What does a pill advertised as Shark Tank’s biggest deal in history and a pill that was developed by a nutritional science master’s student at Stanford University have in common? They are both keto scams. After seeing the profile “Sarahjohnson.stanford” on Instagram (and it’s many other variations of Sarah and Stanford) we started to fall into the rabbit hole of keto weight loss scams. This person does not exist—in fact, it says so on the clickable link in her bio. There is a company out there using these Instagram accounts that have STOLEN transformation photos from other pages claiming that these individuals used their pill. There is an elaborate backstory as to how the pill was created, but the real kicker is that these ketogenic diet pills keep changing names.

Every time you click on the link you get a different name. Just in a matter of minutes we got the names: Keto Rapid Max Pure, Keto Legend, Holistic Bliss Keto, Keto Supreme, Keto Max Burn, Keto RX, and Envy Naturals Keto. None of these “keto pill” have ingredients, they have no explanation as to how they work even though they claim have been clinically tested, and they make ludicrous claims like being “scientifically proven to block fat”.

They rope you in by promising a free bottle of magic keto pills and free shipping but don’t tell you there is an automatic renewing fee. There are numerous complaints online on the Better Business Bureaus website about getting charge $90+ after trying to cancel the subscription.

Diving deeper into fraudulent keto / diet pills, we came across the keto shark tank diet pills that were supposedly the biggest deal ever on Shark Tank history—except they were never on shark tank, the photos they used from Shark Tank were stolen from different women, and the news reporters photos for their website were also stolen.
My friend, Suzanne Ryan (@ketokarma), had her photos stolen by the company Keto Slim Life (ketoslimlife.com) who claimed she lost 120 on their pill. This was completely false and belittled all of her hard work.

The bigger picture—losing money is terrible but what is even worse? Damaging someone’s health. We don’t know what are in these pills and they are completely unregulated. Not to mention the fact these pills won’t work and then people who took them will blame keto and exogenous ketones for not working rather than the shady company.

If you know me, you know I'm all about offense and I'm about to go on a ll out offensive front educating stronger than ever on keto as it relates to the diet and even exogenous ketones. Both can and do have an impact on optimizing human potential, but when taken at of context, it bring negative clout to the entire conversation - a conversation worth protecting.

Do me a huge favor and please always be cautious when buying any weight loss supplements. Additionally, thoroughly vet out exogenous ketones and understand that an effective dose isn't delivered in a pill and 99.9% of companies are using a racemic mixture (another video on that soon) so effectively its less than 50% as effective as they are even claiming.

Here are a few red flags you should watch out for:
1. Are the ingredients listed?
2. Can you find REAL reviews on reputable websites?
3. If they are on social media, do they tag the original poster of before and after photos?
4. If it is BHB, is it in a pill? (it is very difficult to fit an efficacious dose of BHB in a pill)
5. Are they Ketogenic Certified (https://ketogenic.com/certified/)? Meaning that they have been tested for efficacy and artificial sweeteners.

We FINALLY got the results back from my carnivore experiment (well, at least most of them).  Lately, the carnivore approach has been getting a lot of attention so I decided to do it strictly for a month. If you haven’t already seen the overview of the carnivore experiment you can check it out here (http://bit.ly/2Ffa3ga).

To briefly give an overview of the carnivore approach, it’s quite simple – no plant-based foods (and yes that includes avocados).  It’s quite contrary to what many doctors might tell you – eat a diet that is high in fruits and vegetables and limit your red meat.  Well, this does the exact opposite and several people have seen tremendous results. 

In fact, I spoke with my friend Paul Saladino on What the Fat about this recently (http://bit.ly/2wYbWt1) and he drops some knowledge bombs on how to implement a carnivore diet effectively.  Several other thought leaders like Danny Vega, Shawn Baker, William Shewfelt (http://bit.ly/2WOh16A) and many others advocate for this frequently.

Chris Kresser has a great article overview of the topic ( http://bit.ly/2WNET5x ).  In short, Chris mentions 4 reasons the carnivore approach may work::

1. The Carnivore Diet Can Restrict Calories and Mimics Fasting – it’s difficult to overeat meat.

2. The Carnivore Diet Is a Low-Residue Diet – this is the one that I see people utilizing the carnivore approach the most for

“Residue is essentially undigested food that makes up stool. A low-residue diet is a diet that limits high-fiber foods like whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. It is often prescribed for people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) to alleviate symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, gas, and abdominal pain. Meat is made primarily of protein and fat, which are absorbed high up in the GI tract, leaving little residue leftover to irritate or inflame the gut. In other words, an all-meat diet is effectively a very low-residue diet and gives the gut a rest.”

Hence this explains some of the results you will see in this video

3. The Carnivore Diet Is Often Ketogenic
4. The Carnivore Diet Changes the Gut Microbiota

“A 2014 study found that putting healthy human volunteers on an animal-based diet resulted in significant changes to the gut microbiota in less than 48 hours (www.nature.com/articles/nature12820).  The animal-based diet increased the abundance of bile-tolerant organisms and decreased the levels of microbes known to metabolize different plant fibers.

One of the biggest concerns, however, is nutrient deficiencies.  Now, this is why you need to listen to my podcast with Paul Saladino.  Similar to how a well-formulated ketogenic diet isn’t bacon covered in butter dipped in peanut butter for every meal, a well-formulated carnivore approach is NOT just muscle meat – it’s nose to tail.

— My Results —

Overall, it was an interesting experiment to me.  I am very used to eating large volumes of food (i.e Cobb Salads) so it took me a bit to adjust to the smaller portion sizes that I was eating.  Soon, I became satiated and overcame that volume hurdle.

Pros
1. I definitely noticed less bloating
2. I was easily able to do OMAD whereas with keto I typically do 2 meals a day
3. Brazilian Steakhouses were fun 😛

Cons
1. I ate pretty much the same thing every day
2. My bowels weren’t regular (some may say that was a good thing)
3. It took some time to adapt to smaller portions
4. I had a hard time getting in enough potassium.  I typically consumed 6-7 grams of sodium a day with how much I salted my water and meat.

Lastly, it’s unfortunate that they lost my pre-NMR Lipoprofile test results.   On top of that Viome still hasn’t gotten back to me on my post results thus I don’t ever recommend using them to track acute changes.  The deuterium piece is a very interesting one and one that I think more carnivorous advocates might want to look into.  The research on it is scarce but promising from what I’ve read  - here is a good breakdown (medium.com/@core...748e34)

SHARE below some of your thoughts and any experiences you have had with carnivore!

In this episode of What the Fat, I talk to BMX sensation Todd Meyn. Todd’s story is incredible! From getting signed with Nike at just 16, to riding for the Nitro Circus by the age of 21, he achieved some amazing accomplishments early on in his career. Talent and drive were the forces that helped him keep pursuing his passion of riding. We also discuss how an injury of a broken leg and gaining 19lbs was what kickstarted his healthy lifestyle and become more aware of his eating habits. Changing these habits helped him see a difference in his daily life and in his career. He has maintained a healthy lifestyle for the past 10 years and talks about how it’s helped him stay at the top of his game


Takeaways

Todd talks about how he never gave up on his dream even when times were tough. He pursued his passion and managed his health and finances to make his dream a reality. You have to work hard to accomplish great things and success that seemingly happens overnight is actually fueled by years of blood, sweat and tears.

Hey guys! Here's the last video of the visit to Dr. Amen's Clinic in Atlanta with Josh Perry. We finally get to go over everything and learn a lot!

We go over the results of each of our scans and gain perspective on how things in our daily life can have an effect on our minds. Things like stress show up differently on each of our scans. All of Josh’s scans were drastically different than mine because of all his various brain injuries, tumors, and even his ADHD.

Stress and anxiety levels were more prevalent in my scans. It is so interesting to see so many things that we do or consume that directly affect our brain, which then, in turn, affects our body. These scans told us a lot about why we feel certain ways due to the nature of how we live and what we put in our bodies.

For instance, Josh’s use of marijuana had a direct impact on how he slept and helped him prevent having seizures due to his tumor. It is definitely interesting to see how the brain works on ketones as well.

When on ketones it showed that there was a cognitive enhancement on my scans as well as Josh’s. The results of the scans were enlightening and very interesting to see how ketones can positively affect not only your physical health but your mental health as well. I think that the results of these scans further shows that our mental health and physical health go hand in hand.
