Within reason, people should be able to live however they choose – but frankly I do feel that this kind of 'hacker' mentality in relation to food is unhealthy until we have a far greater understanding of the potential long-term effects.
There is so much that we simply do not understand about the human body; it is an incomprehensibly complex organic machine. Ask any medical specialist: the fact remains that many functions of the body with regard to diet are still not understood, and two months is not an adequate time-frame on which to base any conclusions. The thing about an unhealthy diet is that it may not have immediately evident negative effects, but over long periods of time (i.e. 10 years, not 2 months) it can cause major damage to your health – this is what makes this so insidious.
"I never feel as good as today."
When you live primarily off simple carbohydrates – as the author stated they had in the past – anyone will feel ten-fold better by improving their macro/micro-nutrient consumption through eating more proteins, healthy fats, et cetera. And no organized person spends 30-40% of their time on buying, preparing and eating food. No way. Today, you can have groceries delivered at the click of a button – and you can learn to cook quick, simple, healthy meals with a Google search.
Mark my words, until we understand far more about the way that the body processes food, this is not sustainable nor healthy in the long-term.
You mean the same way that fashion and automobile companies prey on those who want cars and clothes to combat their own desires or fears (e.g. lack of self-esteem)?
You see Kevin Rose's list of accomplishments and it seems overwhelming and insurmountable by a regular pleb such as yourself.
But Kevin Rose is just a regular pleb – and he certainly wasn't any different than you or I before he got "famous". You know what happened? He had one break-out success, and was then able to leverage that into a wide variety of other opportunities.
So focus on creating that one break-out success for yourself, the rest will come in due course.
