Yeah for real, some pretty decent audio work there. Like it a lot. As a musician making some pretty weird recordings, this is indeed inspiring.

Best video ever! Released just the other day.
Beeing doing this for 4 months now and have lost a total of 11kg, eating as much food in the day as i want (but a ketogenic diet...around 70-80% fat, 15% protein and less than 5% carbs) and still purposefully avoiding exercising (to rule it out as a variable). As far as i can tell i haven't lost muscle mass and if anything my arms feel like they've gained some muscle mass. Trouser size has also gone down, had to buy new jeans, etc. I feel amazing, energy 24/7. No longer thinking about food constantly and no longer hungry every 2-3 hours. One large meal and i'm completely full and satiated for 9-12 hours (longest i went without any foods once for experiment was 48 hours and it was remarkably easy, my energy levels actually increased the longer i fasted and wasn't even starving after the 24 hours just a little interested in eating some food but again not starving, caused by the high ketone production in a fasted state that provides constant fuel for my body in the absence of food and most importantly constantly feeding my brain....something not achievable when you live on a carb rich diet). No longer need 10 hours minimum of sleep to feel remotely refreshed on the old carb rich diet, now i can get 6 hours of sleep every day and feel amazing and wake up automatically after 6 hours. And it's all so easy and so enjoyable to do.
I tried a few occasions to see what would happen if i ate some carbs and in the few times i did that out of curiousity, i ended up sleeping for 10+hours and feeling like absolute s*** in the morning and not at 100% for the remainder of the day (foggy head syndrome returned and tiredness and laziness feeling). Takes about a day of eating the high fat meals again and then i'm back in optimal ketosis and feeling absolutely amazing again.
Most definitely one of the most important discoveries and changes in my life. Eternally grateful to Professor Keith Cotton for sharing the first video i watch demonstrating the research on ketosis that set me on this path.
Perhaps it will be of some use to someone else too.

Some of you might have heard about Rambro, the wild angry ram.
The original video features a guy riding his bike and meeting an angry ram that rams his bike and try to take him out, the whole recorded by the riders go-pro camera. But there's a lot more now about him.

Very nice to hear that you have found something like that to improve your life. I want that, when I get my next more energetic day maybe I will get myself to the same path.
Thanks for sharing all this info here, really appreaciate it.

Angry Ram for world president! Man, I'm sure he would be able to clean up our mess on this planet lol.

That is ace! Really interesting stuff. Although I don't have any health issues, nor feel the need to diet as such, it's certainly "food for thought" du dum tish
and has made me re-evaluate how and what I eat.

You're welcome Golanv and Justy.
The benefits go even further than the few i've described and quite simply too many to list. In summary though, if you're eating too many carbs than you're body can handle (based on your individual level of carbohydrate tolerance/insulin sensitivity) and/or eating too little fat in your diet...you can also become sick easier.
For example, it's been just over 4 months and just before i started i had a perpectual cough i could not shake but since starting the diet (or i prefer to call it "lifestyle" since i'm not going return to my old ways of eating) my cough has gone and i've not been ill this entire time. Last 2-3 months in flu season in the UK and i get it EVERY year without question and it takes me 2-3 months to recover from it completely. Well, i've been surrounded by a lot of people i know who have had severe flu and I've not caught it or at least it has not had a chance to develop.
Now through my research the reason for this is actually remarkably simple. Like dead dead dead simple you'll be laughing after you hear it. Ok. So of the 3 macro nutrients (carbs, protein and fat), only 2 of them are what are called "essential dietary consumed nutrients" which are the fats and protein and the "non essential dietary consumed nutrient" are carbohydrates. Now i think in the video Professor Tim Noakes only goes so far as to say "non essential nutrients are the ones that the body can produce itself and the essential ones it cannot and must therefore get it through diet". But let's take it a step further.
Fats and protein (and i've purposely put them in that order to emphasis you're body needs more fat than protein from your diet) can be used by the body to both repair and grow new cells as well as be used as fuel for the body. Conversely, Carbohydrates (whether through your diet or in the absence of being in your diet you're liver will produce the very small amount required by some organs) can only be used to produce energy for the body and cannot be used for repair and growth of new cells. So when someone is on a generally high carb low fat diet like the majority of the world are told to do and many follow religiously, they end up being malnutritioned in the long run.
"But they're eating in way excess of 2000 calories a day" someone might retort. Yes, they would be hitting government guidelines but if it's almost all in carbs (or another way of saying it is if they're not eating enough calories from Fat and protein, but people are not told to avoid protein so protein malnutrition isn't exactly happening but fat avoidance induced malnutrition is and caused by fear of lie based on really bad science and most of the time based perpetuated on absolutely no scientific evidence at all or in the face of good scientific evidence that actually demonstrates the opposite effect - weight loss, improvement in health markers all round, etc).
So if you don't have enough fat (and protein but again, protein does not seem to be remotely a problem, especially in the western world where we eat it in excess of bodily nutritional requirements) then over time, as you starve your body of new building materials that it needs in order to meet the demand for repairing and growing new cells over time this deficit is noticed by the body and for evolutionary self-preservation purposes, the body starves shutting down non-essential functions that require repair/growth but that you can live without and still live (for the time being). Do this long enough and you start to get into trouble. Example, immune system starts producing less immune cell bodies which can then leave you susceptible to infection and disease. I really don't want to sound like a quake lol and i don't have all the evidence for this is it is still heavily just a theory in many ways but i would bet that the majority of the worlds western diseases (e.g. metabolic syndrome, etc) are a simple consequence of this world wide dietary experimentation of eating high carb and low fat over the last 40-50 years and it's as simple as that. No drug will ever cure/improve diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart disease, strokes, Alzheimers, dementia, etc better than changing the diet to (as paradoxical as it may sound) a low carb high fat diet.
Now this may sound even more far fetched but bare with me. Professor Tim Noakes who went on this diet some years ago now went on it as an experiment as it claimed weight loss and sure enough he was amazed that it indeed worked. But what he didn't expect were all the other 99% of benefits of such a diet. Now he was a marathon runner and some decades before going ketogenic he too swallowed the low fat high carb dietary dogma for improved health and athletic performance (as well as perpetuating that dogma to others himself in his first book called "the lore of running"). Now between then and going ketogenic, he developed poor eye sight that lead to requiring him to wear glasses. Sometime after going on the ketogenic diet, his eye sight completely healed and he no longer needs to wear any glasses at all.
Ok, so i've come back to leicester to be with my parents for a few months and i've gotten my dad on the ketogenic diet. It's been 2 weeks, he's seen 3.5kg of weight loss without excersise, feels much better, energy throughout the day, no more brain fog (etc, you get the idea) but he wears glasses. Yesturday morning, he woke up, put on his specs and went to look at the time on his computer monitor and could not focus to read the time immediately. He had to strain/re-focus to be able to, as if the glasses he put on were not his. Now one of two things have happened. Either the diet has caused damage to his eyes and made them worse or it's a sign of recovery but we can't be sure which way the compass is pointing. So some time soon we'll go to the opticians and get his eye sight rechecked and see if they've improved or worsened. My hopes and guesses are that they've improved based on what i know of the diet but realistically nothing is for certain until it's tested.
I will keep you guys apprised if you're interested.
