Some of the more minutiae that people tend to fixate on, it's a little bit of majoring in the minor and minoring in the major. The evidence gets squishier and squishier. The arguments get more and more mechanistic and less based on actual data. So you can make a plausible argument that maybe you shouldn't eat that type of fat in favor of this type of fat.

But there's no actual outcome data to the effect. So maybe time will tell. But I tell people that they should probably focus on the areas where we have far more evidence of doing X is beneficial, doing Y is not. For example, around exercise, sleep, and other things like that.

So truthfully, I got a little bit of food fatigue. And it wasn't that I was craving to eat pasta and rice and potatoes again, but I was craving just a wider variety of fruits and vegetables and things that were basically going to kick me out of ketosis. And so I did. And I'm super happy to be eating what I eat today, which is basically I'm pretty much an in-the-middle eater, right?

I wouldn't say I'm on a high-carb diet. I wouldn't say I'm on a high-fat diet. I don't pay attention to any of it. You know what I pay attention to? I pay attention to how many calories am I eating? How much protein am I getting? Are the sources of my food as good as I can make them on a given day on average? Yes. Okay.

And by the way, all the biomarkers that any human is capable of checking, they're looking fine. I will use that to make sure I'm doing it correctly. If something were to change, I could revisit it. But I don't think that the incremental leanness that I might have had, because that was certainly a difference. For me, being on a ketogenic diet, I mean, I was...

probably six or 7% lower in body fat than I am today. Wow.

Well, again, I think I'm pretty privileged in that between my access to hunting, you know, we were talking about this year, very fortunate that I had two elk tags. So not only am I going to feed my entire family with every form of elk you can imagine, right? I mean, we've got elk sausage, we've got elk steaks, we've got ground elk for burgers. I actually had to give away 500 pounds of meat.
