I wish Cologne and Perfume makers would develop something for people to wear, who have adverse reactions to someone's "fragrance". I really hate going to airports, malls, theaters, buses, etc., and my wife's airway closes in reaction to someone's cologne/perfume or air freshener.

"Sardinia is a Blue Zone. Living proof a plant-based Mediterranean diet gets you to 100."

Here is what the brochure leaves off.

The long-lived ones are clustered in the mountain shepherd villages of the interior, not the bean-farming plains. And what they actually ate was:

- Pecorino from grass-fed sheep, daily, at basically every meal
- Sheep and goat milk, raw, by the cup
- More meat than the farmers down on the lowlands ever touched
- Red wine, properly, every single day
- Sourdough and beans around it, yes, on a diet of real scarcity

Now the part that detonates the whole story. Across nearly the entire planet, women outlive men to 100 by about five to one. In this one Blue Zone, the men get there almost as often as the women.

And the men were the shepherds. Walking ten miles a day up a mountain on cheese, meat and raw milk, stress-free, decades before a drop of seed oil ever reached the island.

But sure. It was the chickpeas.

Read the data instead of the poster, and "plant-based" is the first thing that falls off every Blue Zone on the map.

🚨WHY IDF ARE OCCUPYIBG LEBANON: MASSIVE HEZBOLLAH TERROR TUNNEL
The IDF has released new footage of a Hezbollah underground terror tunnel destroyed yesterday in southern Lebanon.
The tunnel was packed with weapons — and located just 6 miles from Israeli civilians.
This is what Israel is facing on its northern border.

I do the opposite of almost everything the “experts” tell me.

I eat eggs every day.
I eat fatty red meat and bacon.
I cook with real butter.
I salt my food.
I eat liver.
I avoid seed oils.
I don’t buy low fat products.
I don’t count calories.
I eat until I’m full.
I don’t snack.

And yes, my LDL cholesterol is high.

Apparently that alone is supposed to terrify me.

Never mind that my triglycerides are low.
Or that my HDL is high.
And my blood sugar is better than when I followed the “balanced diet” advice.

One number goes up and suddenly I’m treated like a ticking time bomb.

That logic falls apart the deeper you look at it.

LDL is a lipoprotein. Your body produces it deliberately. It carries cholesterol, fat-soluble nutrients, and repair materials to every cell that needs them. It is not a toxin looking for somewhere to do damage.

When you eat low carb and burn fat for fuel, lipid transport changes. Of course it does. The system is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

But instead of asking why LDL changed, the entire conversation becomes fear.

Statin.
Low fat diet.
Eat the carbs.
Avoid the red meat.

LDL as a single number tells you almost nothing useful without knowing your triglycerides, your HDL, your blood sugar, and your inflammatory markers. Every individual picture is different. Mine looks very different from the risk profile that one number implies.

Meanwhile the people following official advice are more overweight, more diabetic, more inflamed and more medicated than ever before.

That should raise more questions than my LDL number.

The cholesterol story sold to the public is one of the biggest health scares in modern medicine.

Have you had your full lipid panel checked lately?

Red meat gets called the centrepiece of carnivore so often that newcomers assume it's just dogma. In fact it earns the spot, and here's exactly why.

First, what red meat actually means here. Not simply any mammal, but ruminant meat: beef, lamb, mutton, goat, bison, venison. Animals built around a rumen, a great fermenting forestomach that does something no pig or bird can. It takes whatever fat the animal eats and biohydrogenates it, turning fragile polyunsaturated fat into stable saturated and monounsaturated fat before it's ever laid down. Feed a cow badly and its fat barely flinches. The rumen sorts it out.

That's the first reason it sits at the centre. Ruminant fat is stable by design. Largely saturated and monounsaturated, low in linoleic acid, slow to oxidise, the very opposite of the fragile stuff you've spent good effort cutting out. Fat you can cook hot and eat every day without building yourself out of something prone to turning rancid.

Then the density. Heme iron in the form your body actually absorbs, not the token amount in spinach that barely makes it across the gut wall. B12, which you will find nowhere in the plant kingdom. Zinc, selenium, complete protein with every amino acid in the right ratio, plus creatine, carnitine and taurine, the compounds that run your muscles and your brain and turn up in almost nothing green.

And it's gentle. Ruminant protein is among the most digestible food there is, complete and clean, asking very little of a gut that's spent years wrestling fibre and antinutrients. Most people feel it settle within days.

So it's non-negotiable, but it isn't a dress code. If you can't face a steak yet, don't. Ground beef counts. Burger patties count. A brisket left in the oven all afternoon until it falls apart counts, and frankly outshines most steaks anyway. Start wherever you can stand it.

Beef, lamb, the ruminants. Stable, dense, digestible, and doing what no other food on earth quite manages. That is the centre of the plate. Everything else is a guest.

🚨BREAKING: Greece announced that it will close 60 mosques across the country and deport those who continue to illegally build Islamic religious spaces.

Greece is fighting against the Islamization of Europe.

Do you support it?

[Rettna @Rettna_Nomad]

I agree and do this as well

[Maxine Pye @LiveAncestral]

Just a little reminder that calorie counting is a scam.

The truth is that I eat as much healthy animal fat and protein as I want, my body knows when it’s had enough and then I’m not hungry.

Not all calories are equal. We know this from how insulin affects our bodies.
