Steve Patterson interviews me about my quest for better health. \\xa0We discuss my story, going from a 38 inch waste and extra large size tee-shirts to a 32 inch waste and small tee-shirts, all while eating as much food as I want, and having more energy! \\xa0What is the paleo diet? \\xa0Why are grains unhealthy? \\xa0What is 80/20, and how does it make sticking with the paleo diet much easier? \\xa0How does the vegan diet stack up against the paleo diet? \\xa0We discuss all this and more.

For full disclosure\\u2019s sake, I misspoke when I said that as of last October (2013) I had been on the paleo diet for 3 years. \\xa0October 2013 was actually the 2 year marker for how long I have been paleo. \\xa0Sorry about that.

Denise Minger was the woman I mentioned on the show who has done a great deal of work comparing the vegan diet to the paleo diet. \\xa0Here is a presentation she did on the China Study: \\xa0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsf9Tpm2Dgc

Susan Schenck is a woman who use to be a champion for veganism. \\xa0She wrote books on how great it was. \\xa0And then it stopped working for her, and when I say \\u201cstopped working\\u201d I\\u2019m putting it very nicely! \\xa0She now writes books on how the vegan diet is awful, that you may feel great the first few years, but eventually the deficiencies catch up with you in a big way: \\xa0http://undergroundwellness.com/podcasts/when-a-vegetarian-diet-doesnt-work/

Choice Conversations has an opening for an editor. \\xa0Unfortunately my editor had to retire, and I simply do not have the time to do it myself. \\xa0Podcasts may be few and far between if I don\\u2019t get some help! \\xa0It is super easy, I can talk you through how to do it, it just consumes more time than I have available. \\xa0If you enjoy the podcast and otherwise receive value from it, editing a few shows for me would be a great way to reciprocate and give value in return. \\xa0Message me on facebook for details: \\xa0\\xa0https://www.facebook.com/ChoiceConversationsPodcast

Help the Podcast! \\xa0I would greatly appreciate it if you went to itunes, wrote a quick review and rated the show. \\xa0This is a great way to increase downloads and to help the show grow. \\xa0The more downloads, the more easily I can book high profile guests: \\xa0https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/choice-conversations/id315666764
