Does/Did Judge Nap have cancer???

[green73]

When I switched to paleo (wheat, sugar, dairy free) I lost about 50lbs in just under two months. I'm 6'0" tall and I was 217lbs at Christmas last year and started my diet around the end of January. By Mid March I was 170lbs and then over the next two weeks my body finally settled at 160-165lbs. I eat a ton of produce and meat so I know that it was my consumption of less desirables that was making me over weight. Wheat belly is real and it makes you look fat and bloated. Now I feel great. High energy, good sleep. Best shape of my life.

Great to hear!

It's probably the excess skin from his fat days which makes him look shriveled.

ya'll are forgetting sodium. Try and do what i'm doing. Cut my sugar 2/3rds...stopped dairy over 2/3rds...lean meats..and stay under 1500mg sodium...try that last one...not easy, but i've lost 25lbs. in a few months without heavy exercise. Walks, daily chores, and the occaisional wood chopping. Started at 278lbs...now 253 and falling. 220 lbs is my goal.

sodium almost killed me. No lie.

Get the himalayan pink salt, sodium is fine if it is taken with enough other essential elements like those found in himalayan salt. Not to say that you will want to oversalt everything, but your health will benefit if you use it in moderation.

I dunno. As for the diet conversation, I eat plenty of lean meats, lots of wheat (carbs) in the form of bread and pasta, greens, fruits, and tons of milk/cheese of the fat-free variety. Also plenty of nuts and eggs. Been using pink sea salt instead of regular salt and only using virgin + extra virgin olive oil. I want to try coconut oil. I'm in the best shape I've ever been in and I have strong/visible abs. I stay away from juice and soda, only drink water. I wouldn't be able to do the paleo diet personally, as I enjoy dairy way too much. It's great that it has worked well for others, though.

So... there you have the evidence: If you want to go from robust and full of vitality, to looking like a washed out remnant of yourself, all you need to do is quit eating wheat!

You should read my posts, there is nothing wrong with dairy, you can be paleo and eat dairy.. In fact you can be paleo and eat anything if you keep it under 20% and you will still be fairly well off.

Everything you said is fine except the wheat, and you should eat grass fed or raw high fat dairy. The fat in the dairy is really the part that is good for you.

If you are active enough you will burn off the carbs and not gain weight eating bread and pasta, but it is not optimal for your longterm health as it is slowly increasing your insulin resistance, raising your blood sugar, which is followed by a crash. You can pad the crash with more carbs, but that's sort of like the Federal Reserve padding a crash with more inflation, it increases longterm problems later.

If you do away with the carbs, you will crave them for a few days or more until you have gotten rid of any yeast overgrowths and then your body will learn to use fat as the primary source of fuel instead of carbs. Once this happens your metabolism will kick into high gear and burn the fat in your diet and the fat on your body for fuel and you won't get the carb crash later on.

I am actually thinking that one of the reasons this diet is so successful within the liberty movement may have to do with what I was just saying about carb crashes and the federal reserve, they are actually fairly similar mechanisms and people in the liberty movement seem to 'get' moving away from carbs more easily, possibly for this reason though it would be subconcious as I haven't heard the analogy before.

I'm sorry, but I'll take this body over the fat unhealthy one any day:

Wow, he looks different!

Why don't you ask him how he feels before making assumptions about how he feels?

 

[BuddyRey]

Some people just don't look right skinny. Al Sharpton is another example of a guy who looks kinda strange after losing a ton of weight, especially because he has a huge head.

 

[squarepusher]

our ancestors sure were eating meat at every meal

Its crazy that in today's society if one loses weight that people tend to think he must be sick!

I'm not ridiculing the OP or the post, just noting that it IS the norm.

I think there's a difference between losing weight and looking gaunt. Maybe the weight loss coincided with his hair losing its luster... I'm not really sure. Some people start to look really weird when they age and get skinnier at the same time. Sometimes people just don't look as good when they get skinnier.

The Judge should gain weight.

Not to worry, Judge Nap has since dyed his hair a ridiculous color.

I do agree to a point, I am a personal trainer, maybe I am used to such dramatic changes because he does not look unhealthy to me. I think today, we are not used to lean people. Take a look at the average person in the 1920's look at their Chins and neck, LEAN as can be, most would say they are unhealthy looking.

His head is too big for his body unless he's fat and he needs his white hair back. He used to be like a jolly, Latin Santa Clause. Now he looks unnatural.

Speaking of jolly, I haven't seen the Judge laugh or even smile much lately. Part of the fun of watching him on Freedom Watch was that he had such an ebullient, "light up a room" type personality, and always had that contagious grin. Now that he's lost weight, he seems very dour and serious all the time, and doesn't crack me up anymore.

This has happened to a lot of big, funny guys I've liked in the past. I call it the Will Sasso Effect.

He's kind of followed the Fox News/Republican line more ardently than he did in the past. I bet that probably is eating at his soul more than the weight loss and change in appearance.

I'd be far less jolly if I had to do that, at least.

The last few videos Eduardo has posted it seems like he has been cracking up.

I think he used to use more hair gel.
