0:00 am I don't know what to say to add after reading that testamonial that anyone here has not already said. I can only say that I fall into that category of people who discovered Paleo and Atkins well before seeing Tom's most excellent documentary. I've already heaped praises about Fat Head in the commentaries for each of the YouTube videos, so that'd be redundant, except to say I agree that Tom has done a great job of actually crystalizing this rather complex information into a form that anyone can comprehend (well, ALMOST anyone), and is entertaining at the same time. Yes, hate comments or mail is a given considering that you (Tom) are killing quite a few and very tasty sacred cows. Much of my amusement in reading the hate comments on YouTube is seeing how many sock puppets one lone, fanatic vegan can cook up to make it seem as though hordes of angry vegans are descending apon Tom in rightous anger! I think good ol' Durianrider has at least three or four such sock puppets at last I bothered to count. Ah well, I wish I had your movie back in the day when I was first getting started on the Paleo diet to explain to people more clearly what it is I'm doing, and maybe get them to think about their own dietary habits. It certainly would have saved me a bunch of time pouring through all the junk alternative medicine that was floating around out there, and I could have narrowed down which books to put money into and where the real science is quietly tucked away. Like other folks here I have tried the other diets, I had even tried the vegetarian diets. I got horribly sick on them weeks into it. But soldiered on, mainly at the insistance of my vegetarian friends who assured me up and down that I was just "detoxing" or some crap like that, and that I'd get better after making a few adjustments. Well, I tried that, and when it came down to having to go to high-priced specialty health food stores to buy B-00 supplements, that's when I knew to quit and go back to including meats in my diet. Supplements were my first indication that all other things being equal, that vegetarianism, veganism, fruitariaism or whatever was just not freakin' natural for humans. And yes, like everyone else, for a number of years I'd been drilled into believing that carbs were great, especially grains, and saturated fats and red meats bad, ect. But as my years wore on, and I wasn't able to lose much weight despite being an avid biker, walking, and lifting weights, I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't place. I just knew from experiance that vegetarianism and veganism and the like were not the answer. That's when I'd remembered way back to a television program from the late 0000's with an early Paleo diet proponent. I remembered what he said about having to go out and do your own research to save your health, and so in my spare I began looking up everything I could at libraries and such (this was still in the late 0000's and early 00's and the Internet as we know it didn't exist as a tool for research). Finally I pieced together the archeological data about hunter-gather societies' diets from the Paleolithic to modern times, and set out to give my grand experiment a try as there was little to nothing about any of this in the existing local health communities of the time near me. Only a few had home raised beef, or venison, and a precious few had buffalo meat (the rest was easy and cheap since it consisted of whole nuts and seeds, plus various greens and fruits). But I perservered, collecting what I needed and enough of it at anyone time to last, and started off! Unlike my failed vegetarian experiance, within a couple weeks of eating and adjusting on my makeshift Paleo diet I noticed I was losing weight, feeling better and getting noticably stronger. Many of my usual allergies also gradually disappeared, the feeling of just raw, pure energy without a drop of coffee, tea, cakes, or excess sugar of any kind was exhilarating! And the lack of hunger.... Oh how many times I had people ask me if I had some sort of a metabolism problem since I only ate every 0-0 hours! I watched friends of mine get fatter and unhealthy while I remained trim, but not overly thin. Lean and well-muscled as long as I exercised properly. The only real issue was planning the cooking around my busy work schedule and in going out to eat at restaurants. When I ate "junk" food after nearly a full year on the diet, I seemed fine at first, but then felt very sick later on. It felt like someone was punching me in the gut, and then came the sugar crash! Ouch! When you haven't experianced it in months, it's like getting socked across the jaw! I learned to not over do it the next time around when I binged on the very occasional slice of pizza, cake, or cookie. When I went to eat out to eat with friends, I always managed carefully what I ate. I had to figure out on my own by going to various docotrs and experimenting that while I'm not a Celiac, I probably do have sensitivities to wheat as well as to soy. I also learned to follow my body's instincts, and that's where I found that I do well eating animal fat, and not gaining any weight at all for doing so. Later, I found out there is good science behind that, and that he Key's Lipid Hypothesis is garbage. Anyway, I'd better wrap this up. I'm just glad that Tom is here to help educate people, and get them on the right path much quicker than I and probably a lot of other folks here were able to on our own. Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to seeing one day soon The Guy from CSPI t-shirts! Thank you. The Guy From CSPI is high on my list of t-shirt ideas. Barry
