Paleo MRE [18:18] Matt says: I’ve been in the military for about five years now.  I joined later in life and after I was introduced to paleo/keto/low carb.  Let me tell you, the DOD approach to nutrition is pretty bad.  Outside of some interesting studies they are pursuing, they still stick to the standard info we are used to hearing of low fat, high carb, chocolate milk for recovery, gatorade to rehydrate (we were force fed gatorade at the last school I went to in San Antonio, I would put LMNT in my water and a tiny bit of gatorade powder just to change the water's color).  With the ever increasing number of product lines that exist that cater to a paleo/ low carb/real food crowd, could there ever come a time when a paleo MRE product could be developed that would be low cost enough to compete for a government contract with the trash that's out there now?  MRE's are full of sugar and food with a long shelf life that have some serious GI consequences that, let's just say, take an individual from one extreme to the other when it comes to bathroom utilization.  The beverage powders are just plain gatorade, the fat sources are usually peanuts, the protein is nearly non-existent, and the "energy bars" are incredibly high glycemic.  About an hour after consuming one, most people just want to put a diaper on and take a long nap.  I know there are several paleo MRE's available commercially, but in my experience they don't address the caloric needs of a soldier in the field and consist primarily of jerky, nuts, and dried fruit.  When you look at a cost to calorie ratio they don't really pan out too well.      2. Anxiety, College student food [22:52] Cole says: Hey Robb and Nicki, Recently I have been struggling with stress and anxiety. It started about 4 months when I was preparing and being interviewed for a job which was very stressful.  A random thought ended up becoming an unwanted intrusive thought which caused lots of debilitating distress, stress and anxiety. I ended up loosing about 10 pounds unintentionally. Begun getting the chills and shivering in the mornings. Loss my appetite. I am still struggling with the chills and shivers in the morning but my anxiety and stress levels have dropped. My mind had also gotten more clear. I’m not gonna lie...during the time this happened I was not eating too well. About 3 years ago I lost 100 pounds with a non paleo low carb approach, that was cleanish. I have maintained it since then. My 21st birthday was around this time and I did drink quite a bit but I have limited usage to once a week. I like paleo. I cleaned up my diet quite a bit and I feel it has made a difference. Should I stick with paleo, go low carb or even keto. Thank you for your help and please let me know what you think! Best, Cole   3. Ketogenic diet after having had an attack of pancreatitis [28:25] Anil says: Have implemented the PKD diet but have been struggling with the 2:1 animal fat to protein ratio. Prior to this I was on the classic keto diet and also struggled with animal fats (fatty cuts of meat, bone marrow for e.g) but never had a problem with avocados, nuts or raw milk fatty cheese. Have had an attack of pancreatitis 4 years ago also became a diabetic but reversed all that naturally via the keto diet, but still struggle with gut issues. Could this be linked to the attack of pancreatitis? if so why just animal fat and not other fats? Also did my fecal elastase test, fat in stools etc which were normal. Also a CT scan of pancreas did not show any abnormality....so what gives?   4. Am I Metabolically Flexible? [34:43] @ketoKJ says: Question! low carb/keto for 2 years, if I indulge in a HCHF treat I expect to feel horrible & I don't, does that mean I am Metabolically flexible or still insulin resistant? So I had a fried pie with ice cream. A special place we stop in Georgia. And I eat meat heavy low carb and always surprise I don't feel the discomfort most talk about, no bloat, headache, stomach ache kind of wish I did.   5. Interested in hearing your thoughts on this.... (Genistein, Soy) [37:17] Shannon says My name is Shannon, and I have one of your books (wanting to buy more!), and LOVE your podcast...such GREAT INFO. Anyways, I got an email from "GreenMedInfo Newsletter" and one of the articles was talking about the health benefits of a nutrient found in Soy to help with Bone Density.  Everything I have read, and understood about soy (IMO overall) is NOT GOOD...I'm curious to know your thoughts on this article- because I assume people, women especially, will be running to the store to buy this to "Increase Bone Density."  I'd love to hear you go into this on one of your podcasts!  See link to the article below https://www.greenmedinfo.health/blog/genistein-soy-nutrient-puts-bone-drugs-shame Thank you for your time, and keep up the great work!
