Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🥩 What I've eaten for the past 12 months:

I'm now 1 year into a "Carnivore Bulk" where my focus has been to put on muscle. 

The plan is to gain 30+ pounds over 18 months and follow it with a 6 month "Carnivore Cut" — all while only eating 3 foods.

Here's a 1 year update on the 3 food Carnivore Bulk.

1 Year Results:

• Up almost 25 pounds
  • ⬆️ 4-5% body fat
  • ⬆️ 7 pounds of muscle

Goal for next 6 months:

• Up an additional 5-7 pounds
  • ⬆️ no more than 1-2% more body fat
  • ⬆️ 3 pounds of muscle

Final Goal (the final 6 months)

• Cut to single digit body fat percentage
• Maintain the muscle gained

🦷 Should we have this program:

During most of the 20th century tobacco wasn't recognized as a primary cause of periodontal disease.

Once dentists did recognize smoking caused periodontal disease, they started tobacco cessation programs. 

These programs increased success by 44%.

However, half a century went by between when dentists 1st recognized the periodontitis—smoking connection and the implementation of tobacco cessation programs.

Many years of life could have been saved if the dental profession was more cued in to the warning signs 1st showing up in the mouth that later manifested in the lungs.

Again, the mouth is the canary in the coal mine.

Should dentists roll out carbohydrate reduction programs to combat the most common disease in the world — cavities?

I say "carbohydrate" reduction, not just sugar, because all fermentable carbohydrates can be metabolized to acids that cause cavities. 

This includes "healthy" grains.

In fact, it wasn't until grains entered our diet did cavities become common.

👀 What you're designed to eat:

We are all Homo sapiens, members of the same species, more similar than different, designed to eat a similar diet.

Here are 6 anatomical reasons you should eat meat (and lots of it).

💡Question to ask yourself:

Do I actually need more information, or do I simply need to act on the information I already have?

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"Most of us have weak decision-making muscles. We do not realize what it means to make a real decision. We fail to recognize the force of change that a truly congruent, committed decision makes.

The word "decision" comes from Latin roots, with de meaning "down" or "away from" and caedere meaning "to cut." Therefore, a decision means cutting from any other possibility. A true decision means you are committed to achieving a result and cutting yourself off from any other possibility.

Committed decisions show up in two places: your calendar and your bank account. No matter what you say you value, or even think your priorities are, you have only to look at last year's calendar and bank account to see the decisions you have made about what you truly value.

See how you have reserved your time. Look at your expenditures. Those are the trails to the decisions you have made."

🌪️ Is this the perfect storm:

In the next couple of years we could see a perfect storm. 

There will be a bitcoin halving in April and a potential/projected spot ETF in the US around that time (...and — maybe — a resumption of some form of quantitative easing / interest rate cuts). 

If these 3 things collide, this 150k target could be an underestimate.

🦟 What's the deadliest animal in the world:

People are afraid of sharks and snakes, but the deadliest animal is mosquitos, followed by humans.

Everything else pales in comparison, even snakes (#3). 

By the way, if you include car accident deaths, humans are by far the most dangerous.

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!

P.S.

As I mentioned, I’ve been working on putting on some weight. 

I thought I was doing alright. But as I got to the McDonalds counter to order my 8 paddies, the woman said, “sorry about your weight.” 

So I ordered 4 instead.
