i didn't see any mention of meat.  didn't you say you raise and slaughter sheep ?

meat should be the foundation of human diet, especially when you have access to 100% grass fed organic meat.

also it's not so much even what you eat but calories in vs calories out.  my guess is his mother is improving not because of what she is eating but how much ( or how little ).

if i tied you down to a wheelchair and only allowed you to eat 2,000 calories a day you would also lose weight even if your entire diet was nothing but junk food.
