Who could have thought a skinny and pimply vegan boy in college years consuming six meals a day would become a keto-carnivore, consume 200 grams of healthy fat, and thrive with one meal a day as he got older and wiser.

The First Fight with My Mediterranean Uncle

The first fight with my uncle started as a nightmare bringing more nightmares later. His caring behavior formed instant hatred in me.

Yet, ironically, the hatred turned into beautiful love after I found the truth and got rid of nightmares replacing them with pleasant dreams.

Showing his impressive muscles and pointing to my skinny face, shoulders, and legs in contrast with my bulging belly, my muscular Mediterranean uncle said:

“Look at me and look at you, boy.”
