#1

I grew up in the 1970s, and I was always obsessed with athletics. I was a fairly skinny kid, but I ended up being 6'5 by the time I graduated high school. I ate the same stuff everyone else did, and I was constantly reading about how to get big and strong.

#2

I was a premed student at the University of Texas in Austin when I decided to become a doctor because I was fascinated by science and the human body. I studied a premed curriculum.

#3

I was athletic, big, and fast, which helped me become a rugby player. I enjoyed the sport, and when I finished medical school, I dropped out to go to New Zealand and play for a top-level club team. I returned to Texas and joined the Air Force.

#4

I was eventually sent to F. E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to babysit as many as 150 nuclear warheads. I was decent at pretending to launch nuclear bombs, and was named Missile Combat Crew Commander of the year. I eventually became an instructor.

#5

I was a surgeon in the Air Force, and I was sent to Afghanistan in 2007 to take care of the war casualties. The easy life of taking care of mostly healthy and young active military personnel and their families came to an abrupt halt when I was sent to Afghanistan in 2007.

#6

When I went to the Middle East, I was just six months from graduating from my surgical residency. I was thrust into one of the worst combat places on Earth. I saw everything: fresh trauma from the local area, day-old trauma that had been hastily bundled up from the forward operating bases, kids, adults, and U. S. soldiers.

#7

I had been separated from my family for about two years, and it was nice to be with them regularly. I joined a small, low-speed orthopedic group of just two other doctors. I was busy, but my patients were generally happy, the results were good, and the hospital was pleased with the revenue from my work.

#8

I began to realize that I was becoming unhealthy. I cut out junk food and sugar, and increased my exercise regimen. I dropped 30 pounds in three months. I was lean and looked much better, but I was constantly starving and miserable.

#9

As I continued to see the positive effects the keto diet had on my patients, I began giving out flyers about it. I began seeing that many of the orthopedic conditions I treated with drugs or surgery began to resolve simply by following a keto diet.

#10

I began to suggest that perhaps we should hold off on surgery and try diet and other lifestyle modifications. My nurse was constantly printing new flyers because I went through an entire stack of them every few days. The hospital administrators told me that there wasn’t much appetite for all this lifestyle stuff in the orthopedic department.

#11

I was suspended from my job as an orthopedic surgeon, and I was completely shocked. I had never before seen my patients in such poor condition. I was also extremely depressed, and I spent the next few weeks trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life.

#12

I had a hearing to get my medical license back after I was suspended for giving my patients too much choice in their treatment options. I was completely incompetent, but the hearing officer said I was clear that I had been giving my patients too much choice. My license was reinstated after more than three and a half years of waiting.

#13

I became fascinated with the idea of people thriving on a carnivore diet. I began to read the available literature, and I saw how simple the diet was. I wanted to try it. I had always loved the taste of meat, but in the back of my mind, I’d always felt a slight sense of guilt because I’d been told that eating a lot of meat and not eating copious amounts of fruits and vegetables was bad for me.

#14

I began to have carnivore days in 2016, where I would eat meat and seafood. I enjoyed it, and I felt healthy. I began to attract the attention of online critics who were vegans, and I tried to have a discussion with them, but they were completely invested in an ideology and would not be swayed.

#15

I conducted another online poll to see if anyone would be interested in eating a bunch of steaks for ninety days. Within a few days, I had hundreds of volunteers. The research team was me and Matt Maier, another carnivore and Air Force veteran. We organized a study, even though we had no funding or support. The results were that a bunch of people ate a meat-based diet, and the vast majority of them got healthier.

#16

The diet is so dangerous that even attempting it will cause you to develop cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, and diabetes. However, long-term carnivores like Mikhaila Peterson, daughter of controversial psychologist Jordan Peterson, were able to drop their conditions by following the diet.

#17

You must come to your own decisions about what is important to you. You must objectively assess what is important to you and your needs. You are the only one who can live with the body you have.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Much of human nutritional research has been a heaping pile of garbage, and this has led to the widespread consumption of unhealthy diets.
