🗣 What "audiobook" you can listen to -
- Last week I published "Carbohydrates and the Carnivore Diet." It is long. I didn't quite realize how long. Nearly 15,000 words. A novella I wrote in 2016, "Yourdrum," is about 25,000 words. So I was asked by a number of people if I
could turn it into audio, so that's what I did. Here is the "audiobook" version of the article.

🔥 What spread like fire -
- "Carbohydrates and the Carnivore Diet" was shared almost 1000 times on facebook alone within 24 hours of release (thanks to the readers of this newsletter). Nearly 100,000 people visited the article this past week. I'm always amazed at the power of sharing and spreading important information. And I want to thank you for sharing this article and helping people see a side of food that may not be popular in mainstream media.

🎯 What's better: SMART or FAST -
- I tend to be a goal-oriented person. SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) are considered the "gold standard" in goal setting. But I like the idea of FAST goals.
- Frequently Discussed = ongoing discussions on progress and priorities
- Ambitious = Difficult but not impossible to achieve
- Specific = Tangible, concrete metrics and milestones
- Transparent = Public for all to see
- I'm going to hurry up and implement this.
|
🤼 What to keep in mind -
- After setting a FAST goal, I think the most important thing you can do to achieve it is to self-identify with the end result. When your "future self shares similarities with the present self, when it is viewed in vivid and realistic terms, and when it is seen in a positive light, [you] are more willing to make choices today that may benefit [you] at some point in the years to come." [my
favorite research of the week]

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"It's easier to protect your feet with slippers than to carpet the whole of earth."

⛏What's dwindling down -
- The 18 millionth bitcoin was mined this week. This means there are only 3 million left to mine. For simplicity, you can equate "mining" to the "printing" of money. Only 3M bitcoin left before the printing press gets turned off. It's a zero sum game, a pie that can't get any larger. It's why some investors and analysts believe ultra high net worth individuals are buying their slices of pie now.
|
📅 What's next -
- I'm going to start writing my next article this week. I'm not sure what to do yet. I am going to be writing on protein and fat in the context of a carnivore diet to complete the "macronutrient series," but I also want to write on "Evidence Against a Plant-based Diet" to compliment "Evidence for a Meat-based Diet" that I published a couple months ago.
If you have any thoughts or preferences, just hit reply and let me know and I'll start with whichever one you are more interested in.
