I'm really surprised actually, and kind of overwhelmed by it (in a good way). Thank you so much!

Matt, it was because of you that I recovered from disordered eating. Went from a skinny sickly girl to a robust, healthy woman with some decent muscle mass and never ever looked back. Words can't describe how good it feels when food is your friend, even 10 years down the line. I've been thinking a lot about you recently as the Keto craze sweeps over the country I live in...and I'm still here eating protein, carbs and fat, nice real food, lifting, hiking and enjoying the heck out of my life. I'm so glad you're back. The world needs a voice of reason. Thank you for sharing your experience and for your vulnerability, this must have taken a lot of courage but I want you to know that it is much appreciated. Can't wait to hear more from you.

Awesome! I'm working on getting back into a more "hiking and enjoying the heck out of my life" lifestyle. :)

Welcome back, friend! Your honesty and vulnerability is appreciated. I’m sure you know this, but you’ve helped so many people over the years (myself included) and I have no doubt that you’re on the right track for yourself. And congrats on getting married!

The age of the guru is done. I would much rather listen to someone who is REAL! And this video is very real and very brave. Thank you for putting your face out there. Thank you for giving us lots to think about :)

So glad to see you back, Matt. Just be 100% you, because everyone who really matters will be rooting for you. We're all wrestling with how to live in this pandemoniac paradise of a world we find ourselves in, you & me included, so love to hear your musings on how it looks through your eyes.

I am so so glad you're back, Matt! Back in the day you really shook me out of the narrow focus of trying to find the perfect diet, and although it's a bit of an addiction to keep chasing that info, I finally recognized that the real root cause is all about mental health. I can't wait to hear more of your musings. Thanks for whatever courage It took to come back and join us!

Hey Matt, your book Eat for Heat 2 completely turned my health around. And what you described in the book is exactly how it all happened. That book was a major key for me in turning every aspect of my health from total shot to vibrant and vital. I started it in 2013 and my health is so good and just keeps getting better. Thank you ❤

Welcome back Matt - the new version of you will be exciting times for us ! know you have been missed; I look forward to this trip with you !!

But you would have learnt so much wisdom to share. Weather you believe it or not you're a legend for bringing people together and a trail blazer. Thanks Matt for the video, keep them coming.

Hi Matt. Just wanna say, you really saved me back in the day. I was a very misguided nut, but you did save me. I'll never forget your boldness and dedication. You've been an inspiration to me (among others). And to everyone else - dairy causes acne!!!!

Tru dat!

It was through you that I was able to get on the right track in 2015. You spoke about Coach Scott Abel, someone I never heard of before. I contacted him and became his client. Because of you I was able to find health and recover from disordered eating. Thank you for helping me back then. God used you to answer my prayer for help from yo-yo dieting and so much more. Sounds like you are on the right path, keep it up, one day at a time.

Glad to see you back. I'm "Jib" from the old days. I learned more about health from you than anyone else. I've developed my own approaches heavily based on a lot I learned from you, as well as Garrett. And a lot of my own independent research and experience. Definitely, definitely relate. My health has been similar. The result of tons of stress and tons of sleep deprivation. Even now I'm in bed and have been crashed most of the day. Chronic fatigue syndrome is one of the most debilitating things I've had over the years. Pushing myself too damn hard and not having enough fun have been the biggest destroyers of my health. That excessive working can make for a really lonely life. Then add in the excessive working out and we really just beat the crap out of ourselves. A nasty ventral hernia from excessive gymnastics strength training, a back injury and a knee injury have pretty much left me with light cardio, then I'm thinking kin-shi-hai-do or not much else for strength training. Try saying that five times fast. It isn't in New York Ninja. But if you haven't see New York Ninja, you should. I think it's an 80's movie. I remember your passion from those. Hell of a time going back. I remember meeting up with you long ago. My dad took me to meet up with you to do an RBTI consult. I actually had success calming down some horrible diarrhea the other day with some Cal 2 that I still had from like 10 years ago. Now that was a blast from the past. "Blast" having multiple meanings in this context. Good to hear things are going well with your partner, and for so long. Looks like you're getting a lot of well deserved love in the comments here. If you get any hate, ignore it. One of my best friends has gained a lot of weight and calls it his "pain baby." He says without shame that it's the only way he's been able to survive the last few years. Out of respect for his privacy I won't divulge anything but he has been through hell. And similar state here. The body and brain need to shut down for a while after so much stress. You really opened my eyes to so much and I think of you in line with the few great teachers and mentors I had growing up that permanently changed my life for the better. I can count them on one hand. My dad, my high school English teacher, my guitar tech mentor, and you. The common thread there is beyond teaching me just objective facts, you taught me how to think critically. The best way is leading by example of course. I absolutely agree with whoever said you were an original thinker. Also, my guitar tech mentor Steve told me not to get married to one way or method. He said "If you show me a better way, I'll be doing that tomorrow." And that's how you were. Funny, you got flack for "flip flopping," but those of us perceptive enough knew that you were not flip flopping -- just taking on that mentality of always entertaining new possibilities and considering unseen issues with your current approach, whatever it might be. Even all this time later and leaving RBTI in the dust, I still have things I learned from it that are useful. Same with Peat...now I'm doing my own thing, though heavily inspired by Garrett's work, and low vitamin A. With all the liver I ate and Nutrisorb A I guzzled down and put on myself, not to mention the OJ and carrot juice and sweet potatoes and hot sauce -- guaranteed A toxic. But that topic is for another time. I have so many things I've been experimenting with on my own. But all inspired from the way you and the few others in my life taught me to think. The mentality with which you diagnose and approach solving problems is even more valuable than the solution itself. I remember when that JT guy was posting about sugar. Then the Ray Peat Era was upon us. Man. What a wild ride. It seriously reads like a Saga in Greek mythology or something. And then Tobias stole 1 thousand Lustigs of sugar from the gods and was sentenced to spend eternity shackled to a spinning honey comb. Whose nectar was just a millimeter beyond the reach of his tongue, for all time. Excited to see you back. One of the most brilliant minds in health and nutrition. Was shocked to see an email notifying me of this. Again, so good to see you back. I always appreciated your ability to appreciate my off beat sense of humor as well without looking at me like I had three heads. Not that you can give someone that look through text. But you can do it textually. On the topic of the 80s, that also makes me think there should be an update of that song called "Textual Feelings." Or was it Textual Healing. Did I mention my brain not working and not even remembering like 2 seconds ago is one of the symptoms I have. Symptoms of what? Anyway. Good to see you back dude!

This is a great day! Matt Stone is back!You are amazing. You are so humble. This is what made you such a great researcher. I have all of your books. I wonder if these last few years if you didn't have limbic system impairment and had gone from a fight or flight state to a freeze state, and now you are starting to unthaw. I see the symptoms I have had in your story...hypersensitive, dysautomnia, post exertional malaise, fatigue. Thank you for coming back! I look foward to more videos! ❤

Your work helped point me towards some really valuable topics and helped me discard a lot of stuff that was really hindering. It’s awesome to see you posting again!

Great to see you again, and congratulations on your marriage! Although I came across it relatively late (2013?) the 180degreehealth blog has been one of my favorite health blogs for the best part of a decade. I love reading not just your progression, but also the highly-intelligent and "health-interested" commentariat you built up there. There is so much wisdom in the comments sections, even from 14 years ago. I was viewing it only yesterday, in fact. Thank you for the update.

Great to hear from you Matt!

Great to see your back Matt. I’ve followed you and read your books for a long time. 😊

I'm so glad you are making these videos! Yho blog was literally my favourite and I still go back and refer people to different articles. Your books are brilliant too. Looking forward to more vids!

Awesome content, i think your perspective as someone who has tried and failed but found a way to move forward and lived to tell the tale is something missing from all the one-eyed dogma you usually find in the health community. Thank you again for being so honest and i look forward to listening to what you have to say next. All the best.

Love that you’re back. And look forward to real authentic YT content and not just production of something to get views. Keep em’ coming!

I regret not doing it sooner. You guys are being really nice, haha.

I've just started re reading your books, so love seeing you back. I've found so much value in your books. A big thing I believe as an energy healer is that we need to drop the word 'lose' from weight management and weight concerns. The only other times we use the word lose hold energy and emotions around grief and anxiety and stress. Death, losing money, losing your little one at the park, all scary or grief sticking. When I support people with EDs or with weight we use the words release and she'd, as this is final, and holds more hope, more joy more excitement or growth. Releasing an animal back the wild, releasing our worries, animals and critters who she'd skin as they grow, etc. Maybe try this shift in your language on your journey moving forward and see how it flows as the weight releases. Sending you much hope for the success of your journey.

Good to see you. You are the one who changed my ED life and turned med away from BIG PSEUDO. Saved a lot of money on that, and I improved my health by eating omnivourious rather than try extreme diets (getting told "you are not doing it right" when getting really ill from them). Back then your books helped me to fast recover from an ongoing starving ED relapse. I still have ED relapses (starving type) but I have handled them better, kept my omnivourus diet through them, forced myself to not get to that "no energy to move" state of starvation. You made a big difference in my life. Even my kids remember your name, since they know what made me ditch extreme psudo diets like keto, paleo, vegan and such. I wish the best for you and your spouse. I was into paleo (after eating GAPS) when I found your book about paleo diet, that critical one. I decided to read it, to see what critic people thought about it. If I have missed something, or if I would getting more sure of paleo being right for me. In search of the truth or what's best, I found that everything about paleo and alike diets (keto, vegan, all extremes) is about cherry picking studies, self confirming and so on. I learnt how to search for meta studies or compare studies and find lot of them, not only find what confirms what I already believes. People like you, who react to idiotic "everybody believes in this now and it is the truth" are doing good for others. No matter if its about dog training or diets or something else. People need to start thinking by themselves, and find out how to find real facts or realistic theories.

Oh, Matt, how I love you!! You're back!! It's nice to see you on camera again! I'm so happy to hear you and Andrea are married. I bet your little girl isn't so little any longer. You look happy. Didn't you know that a few extra pounds makes us look younger cuz it stretches out our wrinkles?? So you've been in a spot for the past 12-ish years. Me too. For the same amount of time. I hit a weight loss plateau and stayed there. I gain and then lose the same 20 pounds over and over again. I'm consistently inconsistent. I'm glad you're back on KZread. You have interesting takes on a number of things, not just health. The KZread world is better for your wisdom. I've launched my 4th KZread channel in the hopes of making it a profitable side hustle. The first one talked about eating disorder recovery too much so KZread wouldn't monetize it. The second one talked about abuse by a mood-disordered mother and couldn't be monetized because of the word "abuse" occurring too often. The third one is a faceless channel which has potential, but the videos cost close to $100 each to make and it could take 3 years to scale up to making any real money. The new one I just started. It will have all the life lessons I share in the classroom so I have a legacy to leave my students and the world! One of the lessons is from YOU! The questions to ask to discover what your 'Why' is or what business you should be in. I do that exercise with my students in the first week of class. After all these years, you're still having a positive influence on the people you helped long ago. Your thumbnail and title for this video are pretty great btw. Looking forward to more content from the new, relaxed Matt!

Matteo, I would like to commend you for sharing. In working personally with over a 1000 clients I have never met someone free of the sort of shame you speak of, myself included. The question remains, what to do with it and how is it to be transmuted or not, in the path of our families well being? Indeed the greatest legacy of 180 health is that "health" is not a thing. It's nested in well being and I would say well being is nested in the Good. I would also encourage you not to reject the savior complex altogether. In effect it is what you are doing here. The most powerful emotional state a person can have is one of sharing what saved us. So as you figure it out, share it with us. We'll take what is applicable. The benefit to us is not the tactics but the meta lesson that comes through of living intentionally and committing to course correction vs helplessness. Going long on Stone stock...

Matt you look great and glad to see your face again. I really enjoy listening to you speak. The truth is though that many people live the way you did and don't gain weight and have great health outcomes, and many people do everything right and still gain weight. I actually have been super fat my whole life, so I never really gained weight, it was just kinda always there. I have been trying my whole life to lose it, and I can lose a little, but then always regain. I am very certain that dieting is probably the leading cause of fatness, and I have been put on diets since I was like 5 years old (thanks Mom.) Just made me fatter, always. Anyways, we need to be happy with ourselves and love our bodies no matter where we are on our health journey. I still experiment with certain types of diets, but I always eat a whole foods diet and am an active person who loves travelling and doing a lot of other things. Yes, I wish I was thinner, but mostly because people are dicks; I am actually okay with how I look. I have pretty decent health too. I am convinced I will die fat, and that is okay with me. I have a loving husband and a great son and pretty great life. I'm so exhausted of being obsessed with everything that goes into my mouth and every single thing that I do, and in the end, it has made no difference for me. I think Lauren is correct that it is all about mental health and diet obsession is destroying mine. In the end, we all die anyways I guess.

Good to see you, dude! Danny Roddy mentioned you recently in a podcast that you turned him onto Ray Peat. Best of luck to you!

Matt, it’s so good to see your face and hear from you!!! 😃 (It’s “Puddleduck;” I was a teenager when I started reading your blog in 2009.) When you stopped writing at 180DegreeHealth, I was happy to know you were spending time with your wife and daughter and running your other businesses, and I’d hoped you were all doing okay health-wise...I had no idea you were dealing with the kinda health symptoms I have with CFS/POTS. Man, I feel for ya! 😩 It’s awesome to know you’re seeing more health improvements now, though. 🙂 But yeah, omgosh, healing is such a slow and arduous process... Thank you for your vulnerability and honesty about it all. I can strongly relate. I’ve been planning to reach out with a sappy thank-you letter for a while now, but this feels like the right place to say: Thanks a billion, Matt! You and your writing gave me hope when I was severely mentally ill and anorexic (you even emailed me back with such compassion when I reached out at a low point). Following along on your nutrition experiments kept me focused on staying in an empowered mindset instead of a victim mindset. The value in that for someone with Clinical Depression cannot be understated. Well, I don’t suffer from mental illness anymore. And I got better without psych meds, thanks to you! 🌻Doing a high-calorie, high-junk-food diet (Gwyneth Owlyn) cured my mental illness (depression/mania/anxiety) and chronic insomnia in 6 months time back in 2014. The side effects were obesity and somewhat worsened CFS/POTS... ...which I was content to live with (I spent a lot of time with Netflix, myself) until... ...you introduced another experiment, haha. 🤣In late 2018, I drastically cut vitamin A in my diet. I felt worse in some ways at points, but from the start I lost weight super slowly (like 5 pounds a month), while still consuming a high calorie diet with “healthy” (whole grains, legumes, veggies, fruits) and “unhealthy” foods (conventionally grown beef, white bread, pasta, chicken fingers, potato chips, fries, soda, and cookies and muffins with coconut oil and sugar). I was back to a normal, stabilized weight by 2021. It took four years total, until 2022, before I could slowly start exercising again. Around that time I started tweaking my diet, and you won’t exactly be delighted to hear I’ve settled on a super boring gluten-free, mostly “health food” version of the low-vitamin A diet...but I still eat 2200-3000 or so calories per day, because my appetite is super strong, and I am continuing to see improvements in energy, stamina, strength, hormonal and digestive health, and body composition. Even my skin is still getting better?! (My teeth and hair are still kinda shit, though. 😬) Sometimes I eat junk food or go out for pizza. I’m not paranoid of foods anymore, but I continue to develop a much better awareness of which foods make me feel good the fastest, which is a huge relief. And I’m now able to tolerate way more types of fruits than I could in those first years, which is pretty cool. 🙃 The vitamin C and calcium from low/moderate beta carotene fruits and veggies seems to help me at this point. Anyway, I wanted to share that update, because I really feel as though you’re the reason I’ve found my own version of that elusive “healing diet” you sought from the start. At least as close to it as is possible in this polluted planet, eh?🙂 You never promised perfection or claimed to have all the answers. (Not very health guru of you, haha.) Rather, you invited me on a journey of discovery, for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you. 😭 I’m looking forward to your future content, man. I’ve noticed a couple of people in my life who have had a profound compound loss of trust in society, institutions, or loved ones, go through this like...it almost seems like a psychosis...where they suddenly believe instead in utter nonsense (flat eartherism, and the government ordering/releasing/controlling hurricanes) as a way of coping with the trauma. They aren’t thinking. It’s more of an emotional response, wherein they seem to have a “need to believe” in *something*, it feels like to me. You’re a gem of a human being, Matt. Have a great trip with Andrea! 😊☀💛 And I hope you have many more adventures together as your health continues to improve...Wishing you all the best in life! 😁🌟✨😎

Damn Puddleduck, you got me all weepy here, haha. Amazing comment, and great to see that you really get me and what I'm all about. Great news that you've continued to make progress. 5 pounds a month sounds great though, this 2 pounds per month thing is taking forever, haha. Although I do notice losing more like 5 pounds per month if I'm strict with low-A, it's too damn hard on my body to push it that hard. Bile spewing everywhere, haha. Amen to so many seeming to need something to believe in, no matter how absurd. That's been going on since the beginning of time I suspect. I wonder how you cure it though??? I'm compelled to try to find out, lol. Cheers to more adventures together!

I've been on a low A diet for approaching 3 years, following Dr. Smith, and yeah, it can be a tough thing at times. The bile dumps, especially if you're pushing it with too much soluble fiber, can be brutal. It's slow healing. These weekend liver cleanses are nonsense.

Wow what a story! I'm glad you're back on a journey and we get to enjoy it with you. Everything you said back in the day may not have been right, but it taught us to think and question which means the world. You introduced me to Dr. G too!

I eat 2 meals per day typically, always protein, starch, a little fat mostly from olive oil at home and whatever oil when eating out or having anything pre-packaged, always something sweet/dessert, and lots of sugary drinks. It's nowhere near what would probably be optimal, but it works and is convenient and cheap and enjoyable. So breakfast starch my favorites are home-made hashbrowns grated up fresh cooked in olive oil, oatmeal with just salt and water, grits with salt and water, and toast and other bready things like bagels. Dinner starches are boiled or baked potatoes with salt, pasta with olive oil, rice, tortillas, and beans. My proteins are egg whites, skinless chicken, turkey and chicken deli meats, and beef of all kinds (ground, stewed, steaks, etc.). I occasionally eat some grapes or bananas and peeled pears or apples. I drink mostly gatorade, Sprite, and grape juice. And I eat a ton of sugary stuff with no dairy in it. Animal crackers and golden Oreos mostly. I don't love these, but I feel way better eating them than not eating them. A diet like that is super deficient in most minerals, so I have been taking a coral calcium supplement with every meal for a couple months and that seems to be helping a little. That's pretty much it. And then of course I eat as much stuff not on that list as I can get away with (not have asthma and psoriasis, still lose a couple pounds a month and steadily feel better). I do suspect I'll need to eventually strip all the fat off my body to truly rid myself of vitamin A more meaningfully. I bet all the fat I gained was of the yellowy, retinoid-laced variety. I'm on pace to be pretty lean in 3 years at this pace, lol. Better than NEVER I suppose.

I think the silver bullet to health is finding happiness. Happiness is healthy. I hope you will continue to find your way toward happiness, Matt.

You've always had a way with words and a knack for ad-libbing which is refreshing and aligns with the charge of: "original thinker". Just want to extend my appreciation for your honesty and sincere intent to share helpful ideas. At the end of your video, your question about how we can follow a skeptical path is interesting to me. The skeptical path that eludes you is simply the path of science. Ditch your "naturo"path and give actual scientists their due. Skeptics Guide to the Universe, This Week in Virology/Microbiology, Debunk the Funk, Decoding the Gurus these skeptical sources are precious. Resist the the lure of 'exciting heterodox contrarians' like Ray Peat who you turned me onto initially and who got the better of my skeptical tools. Skeptical science is hard, tedious and doesn't 'sell'.

There he is!!! Finally! Hey man you broke me free of diets way back in 2008-2009 and I never looked back! I went from the initial weight gain of 165 back to 152 in about two years! When we saw each other in 2011 in Denver and ate at larkburger I was a lean mean fighting machine! Recently still dealing with mold exposure from and apartment in Portland Oregon… my skin just won’t go back to normal and it’s killing me inside!

Please never leave us again and we wanna meet your wife!! Congrats on the wedding 🎉🎉

Welcome back Matt! I have missed you!🥳 Your books and blog were milestones in my life actually.☺️ It was the start of me trying to fix my metabolism.🎉 And it has been a wild ride with many nooks and crannies bcs of severe health issues and also being desperate enough to go keto/carnivore on several occasions AND a full year on hclf high raw vegan again aswell. Even though I read your books....😅 But still, I always had in mind to never calorie restrict or fast atleast. But those ways of eating ofc just made it worse. I'm back on pro-metabolic bcs that's what actually works best but I still have so many things to heal. Some might not be so easy to heal and it will take time. My latest year on plantbased atleast revealed that I have a serious oxalate toxicity issue and that some of my long standing health issues are actually bcs of that. I've been to over 40 of Sally K Norton's classes and that info is seriously life saving. That's another milestone in my life.☺️ My gut was pretty much blasted to kingdom come from antibiotics even as a child so I had leaky gut from the get go. Still have no akkermansia which are super important for the protective mucus layer in the gut and no oxalobacter either. So I started to store oxalates in my tissues even on a pretty "regular" diet. But then a couple of decades of plantbased eating really worsened it ofc. And especially that more recent year of extremely high oxalate eating made me extremely sick. Atleast it made me realize what I was dealing with. Always something.😅 And then I went back to carnivore and got extremely ill from that aswell.🤪 Started to dump out oxalates like crazy, even via the skin. If I had any doubts about if this oxalate thing was real, it quickly disappeared after that.😂 My pee looked like glitter aswell ..🎉 And omg..the symptoms...Too much to go into here. And I couldn't sleep and constantly ran on stresshormones on keto/carnivore. But I still hung in there for a very long time.... even though I read your books....🤪🤣😅 But I was just hoping that I would finally be able to fat adapt and those stresshormones would go down..I followed so many that claimed that they sleep better than ever and seemingly they do really good on low carb/keto/carnivore even long term so I started to believe that it was a question of just giving it long enough time to completely fat adapt. Well....roughly 2 years in total has proved to me that it's just not possible for me. And it has taken an ENORMOUS toll on my body. Even more than plantbased did in a way bcs of the extreme sleeplessness and constantly running on stresshormones. I had severe arythmias and intense intracranial pain aswell. Also stabbing chest pain on a daily basis in the end and I for real thought I was going to die on several occasions..It has been absolutely horrific. I just HAD to stop. But then, reintroducing carbs=hello bloating and joint pain. But simple sugars works rather ok though.☺️ Anyways...always felt best on pro-metabolic but since I couldn't get rid of thyroid symptoms, steady weight gain, pain and inflammation, bloating and so on, I was desperate enough to try keto/carnivore and high raw plantbased again. Desperation can drive you to do anything, that's for sure...😞 Now I know that it will take years to clear out my decades of oxalate collecting 💎 so I just have to make my life as comfortable as possible as I go along. And I thought I had to go carnivore to heal my leaky gut but it didn't work anyways, so I have to find a way to do it on pro-metabolic. Not easy when I'm bloating and still dumping oxalates. I did the low vit A thing for a while but didn't really notice any difference. Maybe I did it too short time, sure. But I don't eat lots of liver and don't drink gallons of milk and so on, so I have it in the back of my mind still. Ok, this is getting too long so I better stop. Nice to have you back, I'm looking forward to see more of you.☺️ Best regards/Cammi🪷

Hey Cammi! Thanks for sharing. Yeah I too, the grand messiah of avoiding dietary extremes, lol, even resorted to some dietary extremes when my asthma suddenly got scary bad. I was desperate. Fortunately I found the low-A thing pretty quickly, which ended up being what moved the needle the most for me. I didn't spend years doing extreme stuff, just weeks. Sounds like you've had some struggles, but if I can give you any hope I'd say don't underestimate the power of small adjustments. The difference between getting slowly fatter and sicker and slowly getting leaner and healthier can be an extremely small adjustment. And really only small adjustments are sustainable, so keep your eyes peeled for whatever that's going to be for you!

Hello, Stoner. I have been thinking of you for the past few years, wondering how you were doing. The last time we talked was in 2013, just before the crash of my network. We were talking about publishing books (which I think I will need your help with in the future). I, too, have been to hell and back so I can relate to your journey. Actually, I am still in hell in many ways... but I do believe the best is yet to come. They don't call it the Book of Revelation for nothing. From the Latin, revelare: "unveil, uncover, lay bare." Gonna be epic. Anyway, it takes some cojones masivas* to come on here and tell the truth like you did. I always respected you more than most people in the health influencer industry, and once again, you earned it. In spades. Truly believe you were born to do this and I see you like a caterpillar in a cocoon who will soon emerge as a butterfly. You always were a butterfly, but this world is like that movie, A Bug's Life, and unlike the worker ants, the butterflies are free. And so the ants look up to you but they don't always understand what you are saying or doing. Especially when you're in a cocoon, getting ready to rise from the ashes. Last night, I just happened to ask my readers (the few that are still with me after the c0mm1e c3ns0rsh1p) on Telegram (one of the few platforms I have left) whatever happened to Matt Stone. They sent me this link. So good to see you, again, brother, and good to see all the heartwarming comments. You are loved. Because you are authentic. Like the Velveteen Rabbit. I just have one more thing to say to you (at least on this comment -- God, we writers can go on and on, eh?) and that is this: The world is sick and dying right now. So the fact that you have been sick means you did not align with a sick and twisted world. But you're starting to breathe again. I can see it. Hugs, amigo. God bless you. Congratulations on your marriage. I am grateful for you and your authenticity. A light in the darkness. See you on the next comment. *No I don't speak Spanish but I am trying to learn French and yes, I have many of the same issues with Duolingo. Off to leave another comment...

Welcome back Matt. I did a consult with you way back at my place in Sacramento. I’ve struggled with bedtimes all my life. Rarely do all nighters or 4 am these days but 2 am isn’t uncommon. Best thing I’ve ever done for my health was going mostly carnivore approaching four years now. Most profound health book I’ve read is Eat Like The Animals, which basically covers the science behind the protein leverage hypothesis. Ted Naiman’s P:E Diet is an application of this. Just eat higher protein and less energy (fat/carbs) and you’ll be satiated and start burning fat. Anyway I wish you well.

Was it... Jason (I think) the health store guy? I remember everyone I've met and most names, but not necessarily WHERE I met them, lol. Help a brother out! I've down over 40lbs., so feeling pretty good about that, but I'm admittedly ever-so-slightly carnivore curious. I've done two bouts of it, the first time just kinda for shits and giggles, the 2nd time was legitimately out of desperation due to my asthma, and it worked. It also sucked in many ways and I've fared much better since finding the Vitamin A stuff and putting all kinds of foods back in, just not the ones with retinoids. So a lower-fat carnivore diet basically? The excess protein is converted to glucose so you still have a normal glucose-driven metabolism? Am I getting the gist? Everyone says to eat a buttload of fat, which I did, but felt terrible.

Oops just saw your reply. Yes I used to work at a natural foods store. I’m Chinese. I’d call it a higher protein carnivore diet. It doesn’t pay attention to calories or glucose/ketones specifically, and I’ve heard gluconeogenisis is demand-driven. You’d have to eat a ton of protein for a few months to reach protein toxicity/rabbit starvation.

Matt based off some of your more recent blogposts you put forward the idea that weight loss isn't something you should necessarily pursue and that overwhelmingly (90% in 3 years) it results in weight regain and an increase from your prior weight.

@mattstone8111

Hey John! Yeah, that's still pretty much my stance. But I have been losing weight pretty steadily and have my thoughts about how relevant my experience might be to others. I suspect (not a scientific statement to be treated as proven fact), that obesity might be caused by the need to warehouse the huge excesses of vitamin A that modern humans are consuming without the usual triggers to expel it (see asthma video for more explanation of this theory). In my experience so far, if I lose fat (by any mechanism really, including being sick a a couple of times), I don't gain it back if that weight was lost without consuming any vitamin A. Slowly scaling up physical activity in a 100% sustainable way has also been helpful. If you do too much physical activity and have to stop or decrease it, you'll probably gain the weight back in the same exact manner you would with a forced calorie intake, that is to say, faster than you lost it and eclipsing your prior weight! But slow, sustainable increase by creating a habitual physical routine can automate the increase in physical activity without causing you to crash and rebound. Just a couple thoughts you can mull over and experiment with while I continue to observe how things work out for me.
