I don’t think I was clear about who would be coaching whom. I’m suggesting that an experienced paleo mom mentor an inexperienced one, with only one hour total of professional coaching for each pair of moms per week in a conference call. That reduces the time commitment on your part, keeping you more available for paid consulting.

You can contact me privately about getting some free skilled labor for the website end of this idea.

Jack’s approach – low-carb and the LeptinRx has worked for many, many folks, and clearly low-carb is an effective weight loss strategy. As far as cold thermogenesis goes, my philosophy is: try it! The worst case scenario is that you’ll shiver a bit. But take a look at his testimonials for the best case scenario – pretty amazing stuff. Give it a whirl and let me know how it goes!

Thank you for your enlightened response! If you would have said to drink lemon juice for a week I would have been very disappointed!

That said, nothing is more biochemically capable of detoxing you than your own liver. Eat right to allow the proper pathways to function and presto…your cleansed! I look at it this way….lifting weights doesn’t make you stronger, it provides the stimulus for your own body to adapt to and make you stronger. It’s your body, not the weights that produces the strength gain. Same with detox, give your body the proper stimulus (healthy real foods), and your body will cleanse itself.

You frequently ask how you can take over the top podcast spot from Jillian Michaels. Here’s my idea. Women, and especially moms, are the primary health guardians in the home, unless Dad’s an MD. Women already love your program (yeah, your voice is sexy). So, create a “busy mom” contest for 4 of your motherly listeners: Take another mom who’s interested in your paleo success but hasn’t started on the path under your wing for 90 days, and report the results every three weeks on the show for 15 minutes per pair of moms. Ask other paleo luminaries who are also moms to offer support once a week by phone to help the newbie and her mentor.

If this succeeds, repeat the contest.

Normally, there’d be a grand prize, but paleo-quality health and vitality ought to be prize enough. If not, how about a web page devoted to the participants that has a permanent home on your site. You could also hold a lottery among the participants for an all-expense-paid trip to the next Paleo FX gathering as an incentive.

A few years ago a dropped 125lbs to go from 320 to 195 living a paleo-esque lifestyle. I maintained that for a few years when life (jobs, relationship, stress, etc) got to me and now I’m 345. At some point I abandoned my low carb principles and apparently went all out for a long period of time (I have stories upon stories of buying a cake and eating it within 10 minutes – and that’s not the worst of it!).

Frankly, I’m just getting back in the game but I’m willing to do what it takes. I’m actually following Jack Kruse’s protocol for obese people (less than 25g of carbs/day) because, having read through his stuff, I recall that was my approach when I lost my original 120lbs (in less than 1 year and largely without exercise). I guess I just needed to see it in writing as well as from someone I can relate in the sense that he also was also in my position years ago and did it. I can’t say I’ll be doing the CT stuff he does but with he, Ray Cronise, and Tim Ferriss talking about this heavily the last few years, I might just consider it (though I can’t submerge myself in the bathtub because it’s too small and I’m too fat, lol).

So I guess I’d boil it down to: 1) what is your take on seltzer; and 2) what is your take on Kruse’s approach?

Particularly enjoyed the section on ketosis and athletes.

Keep up the sterling work
