Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

✅ What are my diet rules:

My rules of diet: 

Eat real food. Mostly meat. Experiment with what works for you. But not with seed oils. Nor veganism. Question assumptions. Question experts, authorities, studies, and media. Keep learning. Think for yourself.

Looks like Elon Musk is figuring this out...

🥩 What impacts the way you look:

Nutrition impacts facial development. 

I talk about this a lot, but almost no one believes it.

Yet, we know nutrition impacts the skeleton.

When hunter-gatherers took up farming, heights fell 4-5 inches.

For similar reasons today, North Koreans are shorter than South Koreans, even though they've been separated for less than a century. That's not because of a change in genetics. It's from poor nutrition.

Take home message: Children eat small amounts of food but have immense growth demands. They need to make every suckle and bite count, which means lots of animal-based foods.

🥛 What you need if you drink milk:

I have about 1 more month until I complete my 2-year experiment with milk. 

Last week, I couldn't get my raw milk from my usual farmer, so I had to go to the grocery store. 

I looked at every single brand. Turning over milk carton after milk carton, I checked all the ingredients, but I couldn't find it... 

Not a single brand that didn't fortify with vitamins A and D.

I don't want my milk fortified with these vitamins (a post for another time), but if they are, they are missing a crucial vitamin...

That's vitamin K2.

These fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, and K2) work together in calcium metabolism.

Vitamin K2 helps keep calcium out of your arteries and into bones and teeth. 

Best sources of vitamin K2 (MK-4): 

• Grass fed dairy fats (i.e. butter, cheese) 

• Liver (beef and goose) 

• Chicken and pork fat* 

So, if you're going to drink commercial milk, make sure you're also getting your vitamin K2.

*Chicken and pork fat are good sources of K2, however, conventional pork and chicken, fed diets high in corn and soy, can have high amounts of omega-6 fats (i.e. linoleic acid) which I recommend limiting.

💡How to maximize results:

To maximize results, try less. 

Give it 85% of what you've got.

Your best never comes when you're stressed, striving, straining. 

Rather, if you're focused and relaxed, if enter flow, and you're energized from start to finish, you perform your best.

At 85% you balance intensity with consistency, speed with the ability to adapt to the fastest path.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"Thinking is difficult. That is why most people judge."

– Carl Jung

📉 What the US will do in a recession:

This is a thought-provoking tweet on why the US cannot afford a recession. 

Perhaps this is why the government is currently spending $2 trillion in excess of tax receipts...because it makes a recession unlikely.

🐸 How a frog can tell you if  you're pregnant:

The 1st pregnancy test. 

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