Improvements To FreeTheAnimal.com That May Tickle Your Fancy
I have a longtime friend, where, our relationship began as business associates. 1993; nearly 30 years ago. Today, we still exchange emails and he's a paid subscriber to this blog. Way back, he was in the business opportunity business. I bought his basic book on debt negotiation for $89 out of the $200 I had to my name at the time. And I turned that initial knowledge—simple enough to execute immediately—into a company that eventually…Read More
The Definitive Case For Deleting Social Media
Introduction On the 20-year Anniversary of 9/11, I made the decision to delete the social media accounts I actively used for years: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. No, I didn’t just disable them, I deleted them. Of course, in hopes that you will relent and just log back in, you can undo it, just like that....…Read More
Natural Immunity, Gut Biome, and its Importance in COVID-19 #1 — Introduction
Back about 6 years ago in the midst of the gut biome craze, I had already been in collaboration with Tim Steele on tons of posts on Resistant Starch. Thousands of comments amongst the posts. Tim came up with the idea of further collaborating on a book and he went right to work, doing the…Read More
Is it Time to Turn Back My Attention to Weight Loss?
No matter where in the world you look—no matter which gender, which race, which culture, which geographical area, which standard diet—there is only one thing of which you may be absolutely certain: Not one of any list list you can contrive, on average, is getting leaner, fitter, more healthy.Read More

Synchronicity: How Progressives, Conservatives, and Libertarians Get Along
PREFACE This is a brutal, long, and difficult post, but in its full capacity, its purpose is to help anyone understand why they prefer to love their fellow humans than hate them. Everyone does both, of course, but even at our most hateful, we generally want to love more than hate. Simple sparks of humanity—even...…Read More
Unequivocal Proof That “LivinLowCarbMan” Jimmy Moore is a Menace
jimmy moore is an evil menace to society, to all that is decent and good. I believe he should be criminally prosecuted at this point and if successful, stripped of every penny he’s pilfered; and if there was any justice in the world, spend time sitting in a jail cell to think about all the...…Read More
Oil-Free Air-Fryer Chicken Wings (Bonus: With Fries)
Buffalo Wings are a pretty dumb thing to eat much or very often. Take the fattiest part of the chicken, with skin, deep fry it in fat, toss it in a sugar-laden sauce, then dip it in a 100% fat sauce like blue cheese dressing. Here’s a better way, though for ketotarded morons it doesn’t have...…Read More
Flashback: Dr: Michael Eades on Low-Carb and Calories (hint: they count)
Once I saw it this morning somewhere, I recalled reading it way back. How soon we forget. On Dr. Mike Eade’s Protein Power blog: Low-carb and calories Some nice gems. Let’s look at what happens when we cut carbohydrates in the diet. First, we don’t get enough carbs to replenish our blood sugar, so the...…Read More
Arthur De Vany on Facebook; 1985 Paleo
For years and years, people have been asking me, “where is Art De Vany?” Right here. Take an old narrative, make money and prestige off of it, then defend how right and just you were from the beginning, for the rest of your life. I generally laugh at the idea. Sure, perhaps you’re Einstein and...…Read More
Tim Steele’s Resistant Starch Testing Project
Those who’ve been around for a while might recall the time, years ago, when Tim and I set out to introduce Resistant Starch to the diet and health world, beyond the scant mentions here and there prior. In all, we collaborated on over 100 posts on the general topic on this blog, and in addition,...…Read More

It’s from Karl Seddon, inventor and manufacturer of Elixa Probiotic, of which we’ve talked about so much over the last couple of years. It’s Tribal Prebiotic. You may recall that nearly two years ago—and after chewing on...…Read More
Dr. Mark Hyman On Resistant Starch
Really decent short introduction to Resistant Starch by the doc. I didn’t really know much about him, but plugging around this morning leads to me conclude that Hyman’s dietary recommendation are pretty damn sensible. But wait, you say, don’t carbs contribute to insulin resistance, heart disease and other health concerns? Some do, but the truth...…Read More
Reconstructing Garlic As A Whole Food
There are a lot of opinions about garlic; I’ve learned. Probably lots of hype, too. It does seem clear that there’s a lot of medicinal value to the stuff, and its use as such appears to go all the way back to ancient Egypt. But what’s hip and what’s hype? What compounds are the ones...…Read More
Podcast #3 – Tim Steele Talks The Potato Hack And His Book By No Other Name – Weight Loss Simplified
While my first interview podcast, #2, had to be with my favorite podcaster, Angelo Coppola, my second had to be with a gentleman with so much influence over me that beginning a little over three years ago he single-handedly changed the direction of this blog. Blame Tatertot! He played it well. Me being an ex-Navy...…Read More
My Podcast Interview About Resistant Starches and Grains
Here was part one of this interview with the Well Travelled New Zealander Jake Shuster. I’d hate for you to listen to part 2 without first hearing that part one. Here’s part 2: Podcast #43: Tubers, The Wheat Question and Iron Hypotheses with Richard Nikoley. If part one of our interview with FreeTheAnimal.com owner Richard Nikoley was a primer on resistant starch...…Read More
“Boiled mashed potatoes for miracle satiety?” Why, Yes, Peter.
Petro Dobromylskyj aka “Peter,” has put up a post that I think is wrong but I also think is very cool and essential to understanding where we’re going. I’ll explain. First of all, nobody will ever match Peter’s ability and drive to get to the atomic level of biochemical deconstruction, and it’s essential that we have...…Read More
Long Time Low-Carber is Finally Successful Shedding Vanity Pounds on The Potato Diet
Yesterday was week three of doing lots of potatoes most days. It’s going well. Didn’t make the weigh in, as I was busy with other stuff, so perhaps I’ll just relax, keep eating potatoes, and drive it home for the 1-month result next Sunday. In the meantime, let’s check on a few other folks and...…Read More
Podcast Interview at Well Travelled Wellness
Here’s a podcast interview with me by Jake Shuster of Well Travelled Wellness. We discuss Resistant Starch, the Human Gut Microbiome and according to Jake, Paleo Hipsters. Or it’s that he thinks that describes me. Although… Richard Nikoley might give the fewest f*cks of anyone on the internet. I like to think so. Go give...…Read More
