iterate..fine-tune it all!
it's a key to success

I found a real gem of a video clip in the archive — me in the first weeks of my diet, talking about “the salad.” That meal now has a name — the “Ridiculously Big Salad” (RBS) — and it is fine-tuned from those early weeks of my diet.
You see, what’s interesting is that, at the time of the video clip, I was still deep in the process of “iterating” my way to the right meal type for me. I encourage everyone to do the same, perhaps starting with the RBS — the raw or cooked version — but really fine-tuning it for yourself, for that maintenance long game.
Nearly eight years later, I lean into this framework every single day and I am living a better life for it.

The book is still not available on Amazon due to the problem I describe in the story about the US Post Office. We hope this is about to change, but the story is timeless: https://eatlikeabear.com/usps-shipping/

But will this chop our salads for us… ;)
We’re still a ways from the Jetson’s kitchen robot making our Ridiculously Big Salads for us, but there are new AI efficiency tools DAILY right now and no reasonable way to stay in front of it, in my opinion, unless we simply let someone curate it all for us.
