now 64, he eats largely meat (see also: 50kzone: Totally carnivorous - Augustus Owsley Stanley III). his approach is partly to minimise glycation, a topic he has written a book on called the "Glycation Factor", and see:
- 50kzone: Glycation - Wikipedia
- 50kzone: Glycation - causes disease and aging
- 50kzone: Glycation - heart disease and cancer
his approach is also based on the view that fruit and vegetables are nutritionally unnecessary. he says:
"I want to keep glucose out of my body, and I can only do that by not eating carbohydrates"
"fruits are very high in carbohydrates.....and fructose is a nasty actor too"
"I see no nutritional need for fruit and vegetables....that all started 100 years ago....I don't buy into the need for them"
Ellis says that our bodies can run amazingly well on a fat and protein based diet, and with very little carbohydrates (in his case less than 50 grams per day). further resources on him:
