Congratulations, Jon, But Now You Have to Tell Us How
I hereby move Jon Gabriel’s status from the shadowy underworld of Facebook to the bright sunlit uplands of Ricochet, re-posting this remarkable piece of news:
That works out to over a third of a pound per day.
Jon, how in the Sam Hill did you do that?
Published in General
Yes, that worked for me.
Bacon!
Man with The Axe, that is because you will need a second job after the divorce.
It might be worth it if you want to get into pants of a much smaller size than you are used to.
He had his conscience removed to allow him to write for the WSJ.
Great book. Full disclosure: I read the manuscript for John and am mentioned in the Acks at the back. John’s dad ran Hillsdale’s Imprimis magazine for a long time, and ran for Senate unsuccessfully a few years ago. John’s a real Conservative. He attended a Ricochet meetup in NYC a year or two ago.
As I think I’ve mentioned before, I went on the Paleo diet 6 years ago now. Went from 185 to 168 in two months, and had to have all my clothes tailored.
I’ve stuck to it and been rock-steady at ~168 ever since. I exercise a lot less now then I did before, and yet my physical conditioning is on par with 20-year-olds (I’m 47).
The weight loss was the least of the benefits, though. Obesity is simply the most obvious symptoms of the malnourishing diet Americans eat, but it’s far from the only one.
It is the duty of every conservative to stay healthy and strong.*
Let the libs get fat and flabby.** We will bury them!

*I actually believe this. It is your moral duty.
** Have you seen how fat those union bosses get? I think they spend all day eating sandwiches.
Yeah! Let those nancy-boy vegans with their stringy little thighs and pencil necks just try something against a meat-eating red-blooded American. Hah.
I suspect the reason government bureaucrats constantly recommend the sort of diet we feed to rabbits is because if Americans grew up big and strong it would be unfair to other nations.
I’m sorry but all of you dietary deniers should check your privilege. The science is settled.
I packed them on since then. Had about 20 to lose back then, I figure.
It has to be the coffee . . .
Beef jerky is nice –but venison jerky –now you’re talkin’.
Go, Doc!
I just took my old clothes to Goodwill.
Burning them would have been wasteful and would have contributed CO2 to the atmosphere.
Hey Drew,
As a wise man once said, “Way to buzzkill, Grandpa!”
I lost 86 pounds simply by sleeping on a Casper mattress and using a Harrys razor.*
*(What else are we pitching this month? I’ll throw that in too.)
