Carb creep is when a guy sits and eats a bunch of carbs in front of you when he knows you’re keto…and offers you a donut. That is a carb creep.😂

[@KBToesintheSand]

We had a friend visiting one weekend. He's known the way I've been eating for 2 years but it didn't stop him from asking if we wanted to order pizza. He stopped at the local grocery store to buy some ice-cream and corn chips because we don't have snacks in the house. Later, he complained to my husband that he exercises 7 days a week but can't keep his extra weight off. The guy ate tortilla chips all weekend!

For cauliflower rice fried rice - the trick is to make sure the cauli rice is completely cooked dry in the skillet before adding any flavoring. (I prefer frozen cauliflower I place in glass dish and microwaving for four min first)No oil or anything. Just cook the riced cauli completely dry. Then add the ginger, garlic, coconut aminoes, dark sesame oil, minced onion. Let cook a few minutes. Then push the rice to the sides and add the eggs in the middle of skillet with butter. Stir fry til cooked then mix into the riced cauli. Then add green onions and crispy bacon. So delicious!!

[@iss8504]

You can also scramble more eggs as a way to substitute for rice

[@barblacy619]

Avoid cauliflower if you have thyroid issues! Broccoli, brussel sprouts All cruciferous vegetables! Google the list. I wrecked my thyroid as a plant based paleo when I cut out meat and dairy. The nuts and cruciferous veggies have oxalates which poisoned me. The dairy was helping me excrete some of it. See Sally K Norton’s work if you are curious. 🥓🥩🧈🍳Rock🎉

[@trixieknits]

Ive been in a keto group (two physicians, me a nurse, and a bunch of science geeks) for several years. We’ve had to stop meeting because life gets in the way. I’ve gained back a good deal of what I lost. There has to be support for carb creep just like alcoholics need their daily meeting.

[@ericsrepair]

I am a carb addict . I am a 15 year sober alcoholic . I am type 2 diabetic, and have had heart bypass surgery .I wonder what the correlation is ? Sugar is in there somewhere. If I can stop drinking for 15 years then I can stop consuming carbohydrates. I may not live longer but I can live better with less medications. Wish there was a AA for carb addicts. Ps, I am down 60 pounds from my heaviest. Don’t give up before the miracle happens.

[@alexr6114]

I have no problem with carb creep. When I eat carbs, a more accurate description would be a carb landslide on the order of the one that occurred on the Canary Islands that may have generated a huge tsumai that swamped the North American coast. However, some geologists believe that there was not one huge landslide, rather there were a number of much smaller landslides that occurred on the volcanic island.

[@makaisenki]

I call that a carb-pocalypse and it happens. Best just to go back to beef butter bacon and eggs, for a couple days and reset.

Smoking... should one do a "cheat" (die sooner) day? Heroin use.. should one do a cheat day? Playing on a crowded freeway now and then? To each... their own choices... and the outcomes that follow. Ketovore is a tasty healthy way of eating. Working as a nurse, I see the health problems/early deaths from poor choices. I'm picking differently than my patients did. I love having a machine that works well.

I've been carnivore since October and went off the wagon 2 days during Christmas and it took over 2 weeks to get back into ketosis and I was tired.

[@dianasthings729]

Hi, did you feel that was worth taking off carnivore for a couple of days in the long run to be able to enjoy a holiday a little ? Some people can have cheat days others fall off the diet. It's not easy for me to have a cheat day. I got tired of low carb and tried to do plant based for awhile. I of course, gained weight doing that. It took me a couple of months to get off the grains and carbs again.

[@louisacapell]

We go off keto for holidays , but it's murder to get back on the wagon. LOL I once gained 5 lb over easter week , no joke. But it comes off about a lb or half a lb a day if I throw sone fasting days in once the holiday binging is over.

[@debaoa]

@@dianasthings729 I didn't feel that feeling awful for 2 weeks was worth the few minutes of enjoyment of eating those foods. I like how I feel on carnivore.

[@jimbarnes5451]

An excellent session, this one. I’ve been ketovore for close to 5 years, aged 68, lost 55 lbs. I feel great and still work a physically demanding job. I jumped into keto with both feet and have never looked back. Fortunately, I have pretty good discipline and willpower. You know, not much is ever said about the great unwinding that takes place in a person, when the light bulb comes on. For me, I was just plain mad. When I found out how the body actually works, the fight was on! I realized my nutrition ignorance was not really MY fault. Somehow, someway, I said it’s time to try this. Also, the mental battle must be won so well, that even proper eating almost becomes a nuisance and not a habitual necessity. Also, the difficulties one encounters with friends and family members who are blind to the benefits. And one more thing, and that’s all the physiological changes one might expect. One in particular I find interesting is the musculoskeletal changes. Undoing decades of bad nutrition really causes a lot things to feel and work differently, especially core strength, balance, and various avenues of cognition and retraining of the mind to preserve and protect health. It’s quite the battle.

[@dougtube2006]

I bought the protein plan in 1998 and the Drs. Eades made a lot of sense. But I couldn’t overcome push-back From well-meaning friends and the “keto flu.” But I’m a pretty well established low carb eater now and I’m trying to get strict to improve my health. I’ve heard too many anecdotes not to put it to the test myself.

[@maggieziegler8333]

Thank you Dr Westman always very informative!… I’ve been Keto carnivore for 7 years and have fixed my metabolism completely!…a shot out to the Gentlemen from North Dakota my two sons are now living in North Dakota and have also adopted the keto carnivore lifestyle after seeing my results and understanding the science behind it …they do greatly enjoy the fine meat they have over there from a local farmer …. From the farm to the table !…

[@eringo-bragh4243]

When I switches over from SAD to Keto, I was eating 3 meals a day plus snacks. Did cold turkey & started with bacon and eggs and realized I wasn't hungry for like 5-7 hours. I still have 'times' when I 'think' I'm hungry but it's habit, just like thinking of all those treats but it doesn't have the pull that it had when I was on SAD.

"Just a little bit" always led to a full-out carb binge and all the weight put back on before I was able to get back on track... :(

[@boyscout-p3u]

its not so much the diet as my mindset that made me choose carnivore over keto.im lazy to cook i can eat one particular dish for weeks without getting tired of it so carnivore was perfect for my personality. just pop everything i eat in the oven straight from the freezer, slather some ghee onto it add salt and i have a meal.

[@carollizc]

Unfortunately, I love variety in my meals. If I have leftovers, before I can eat them, they have to be totally transformed into another dish. Think leftover turkey turned into turkey tetrazzini. Eating the same thing day in and day, without interesting seasonings, is my idea of hell.

[@boyscout-p3u]

@@carollizc different people different strokes, i alternate between burgers, pork belly, zero sugar/carb bacon/hotdogs, chicken, eggs, bone marrow thats enough variety for me

[@JH-hw4yh]

Lost 60 lbs on keto/ketovore. Thought I would do Carnivore for my last 15 lbs. Terrible diarrhea, which led to dehydration which led to dizziness. I couldn’t walk across the floor in a straight line. 4 days of hell for 4 days each two times…could not get off the couch. I don’t know if it was oxalate dumping or what but once I went back to keto/Ketovore with some veg/carb it went away. So I don’t think full strict carnivore works for me. Also, had terrible muscle cramps and very poor sleep/hot flashes. I like Dr Westman’s approach.

[@alexr6114]

I do not have problems keeping the vegetable carbs low. I am down to about 1/4 of a cup per day. However, I do not like fatty meat and it upsets my stomach. I have never liked fatty meat from the time that I was a young child. To increase the fat in my diet to be somewhat keto, I eat walnuts and pecans and I finally was able to bring myself to eat the skin on chicken thighs. I also eat a lot of sardines. I used to eat walnuts and almonds, but pecans have more fat and less oxalates than almonds. I also drink full-fat evaporated milk in my tea, and have yogurt twice a day. Fortunately, I have never had a weight problem for long. If I start putting on weight, I exercise more and cut back on carbs. I know that I am not really on a keto diet, but my system cannot stomach too much fatty meat.

[@lf7065]

You can buy lean cuts of meat or fish and then add fat to your liking, like butter, ghee, olive oil or sliced avocados. You could make hollandaise or bearnaise sauce to top it, or simply eat some good cheese alongside. 🙂

[@alexr6114]

@@lf7065 I have started eating more cheese. Not the best kind of cheese, the store brand, but the cheese does not contain carbs. I can force myself to eat foods that do not taste good but at some point, I have to eat things occassionally that I like. The idea of only eating beef, bacon, and eggs would mean that I would no longer even try to be on a keto or carnivore diet. I much prefer poultry to beef, other than ground beef. I have always disliked bacon and every other cut of beef.

[@janismorganmcdonald5862]

i understand,, but you can still get your fats from MCT , Avocado, Olive, and other unprocessed oils? 👍🏽

[@alexr6114]

@@janismorganmcdonald5862 I think that most physicians would say that if you do not suffer any side effects or problems with those oils, you may use them to add fat to your diet. However, almost all olive oils sold in the US are not made from olives, so you would be eating some cheap seed oils even as you think that you are not.

[@scottpierce9195]

Dr Westman, thank you so much for everything you do. I have been on keto the past few months and have already gotten down to my target weight. On the topic of carb creep, I have no cravings for carbs anymore. However I am continuing to take a supplement that contains significant carbohydrates. I am taking a no sugar added psyllium husk powder out of concern for maintaining my microbiome. Is this a concern or should I just stop worrying about feeding the little bugs altogether?😅 Thank you so much.

Example: Look at celebrities that have done jail time for lengthy periods. The govt foodstuffs are high in carbs. I have seen this in poverty neighborhoods, also. Junk food is less expensive. I refused to allow my baby brother eat school lunches. I made his lunch every day.

[@saved3671]

I'm carnivore , because if I have salads I have headaches, and cooked veg gives me feeling like something is stuck on top of my stomach. I tried lactoze free milk in small amounts, so that's my carbs. If I have any more then 20-50 carbs my brain feels lost. So weird . I got so used to not having carbs . Keto from 2018 ,carnivore from 2022. Added some veg last summer ,,makes me bloated , and uncomfortable in my stomach. Now I'm sacred to have veg . Should I stick to carnivore. ?

[@louisacapell]

Yes, no need to eat things that make you feel bad!

[@alexr6114]

If you feel better on a carnivore diet, stick with the carnivore diet. You might want to eat a serving of chicken or beef liver once a week or eat a small amount of liver several times a week to ensure that you are getting all the nutrition that you need. Liver is extremely nutritious.

[@makaisenki]

Yeah, I'd stay carnivore if I were you. If you wanted some low carb yogurt and pork rinds can add variety if they don't negatively impact you. Some yogurt sauces. Olive oil negatively impacts you? Coconut oil? Avacado oil? You can make a variety of sauces with those and seasonings, like curry powder, a couple tablespoons of Greek/Bulgarian yogurt, and a couple tablespoons curry powder and some seasonings, maybe stevia to cut the bitterness down or allulose to lower the impact of the carbs. A good sized tub is pretty cheap and you can do a lot with that. Chocolate chaffles using like Lily's or bake believe at Walmart, then some butter melted, mixed with allulose, and cinnamon should be good been wanting to try that for a while. Just some thoughts to add variety, and again you could add a bit of yogurt to that buttery sauce. These are all optional they're just things to kind of experiment with maybe an extra $20 to your grocery bill? I don't know if this advice is helpful to you or not but it's something ya know? I don't know if everything affects you or if it's just vegetables or what. But if you're getting kind of tired of just meat... These are some different things you might have not thought of that will keep the carbs low but the variety there.

[@barblacy619]

Of course!! LISTEN TO YOUR BODY After a few years and your gut HEALS, Maybe then you will tolerate and ENJOY NON meat products. Maybe, maybe not. Enjoy the journey and eat what feels good. Listen to people like Kelly Hogan who has only eaten meat over 10 years. It is healthy. I’ve been 3 years and enjoy a little sauerkraut or pickles with cheese for dessert! Body wants, body gets. I hated sauerkraut when I was plant based for 36 years…😂

Excellent talk. Just what I needed right now after 9 months success. I experienced carb creep due to a promise to my family physician to lower total and LDL cholesterol lab results that were quite high. All other biomarkers were excellent, but wanted to avoid his earnest advice for statin therapy and agreed to a retest in 3 months. So I changed to adding 'healthy" carbs using a low cholesterol Pritikin diet style but without snacks which immediately triggered hunger, cravings, bloating, thoughts about food, 5 lb weight gain and reversal of hard earned good metaboloc markers. Am settling on lean grass fed beef, no egg yolks, much less saturated fats, green vegs, 18 hr fast with 2 meals/day. Its a choice when weighing the risk/benefit.

[@thekidspama]

Peer pressure!

[@elizabethwhite1068]

I highly recommend that you look further into the cholesterol question, because it is not based in evidence at all. Dr. Westman has videos on it as a place to start. The demonizing of cholesterol, (and now LDL which is a lipoprotein that carries cholesterol) and saturated fats are the various incarnations of the Diet Heart hypothesis which has been debunked repeatedly. Zoe Harcombe, Nina Teicholz and many others have done great work exposing the whole thing as little more than an advertising campaign for Crisco when it was first introduced in 1911, and then as a massive money maker for Big Pharma as well as Big Food with the introduction of the first official Dietary Guidelines, which are also not based at all in evidence. Cholesterol is a requirement for life. It's in every cell and makes so many important things. If you removed all the cholesterol from your body right now you would drop dead. It makes up a big percentage of the brain, which is why statins cause memory issues. Most doctors don't have a clue what they are talking about and are just parroting the same thing we've all had drilled into our heads for the last 50 years. Sugar, processed foods, high carb diets, and seed oils are what's killing us. Fat (from real food) is GOOD. Cholesterol = life. The egg yolk is just about the most nutritious and perfect food there is, don't throw them out. Cholesterol from food doesn't even change what's in our bloodstream and the limit on eggs has been quietly removed from the "low fat" diet advice.

[@ACooperNorthwoodsWriter]

check out Dr Westman's many videos on cholesterol. And share them with your doc who is behind the current thinking on the topic.

[@elizabethwhite1068]

Hm, my comment disappeared. I'll try again. In a nutshell, you're trying to apply all the old dogma, that is NOT evidence based, to a keto/carnivore diet, and it will not work that way. Your cravings will never go away if you avoid the fat that comes naturally with real whole animal foods. Those fats are both healthy and essential (there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, only essential amino acids and essential fatty acids) and aide the breakdown of the protein. The truth is that everything we were told for the last 50 years is not only unsupported by any evidence, it's dangerous and the cause of the skyrocketing epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer's and more. They are all connected to metabolic disease, which over 80% of people suffer from. Eggs are the perfect food, and all of the beautiful nutrition is in the yolks. Telling people not to eat them was criminal. Cholesterol in food doesn't even change what's in our blood, our bodies make most of what we need. Cholesterol and saturated fats are NOT evil and trying to kill you. The Dietary Guidelines are. The history clearly shows that their introduction is the take off point for all of those related health conditions. What's killing us is the metabolic disease that comes from a super high carb diet full of sugar, processed foods and toxic seed oils. All foods that contain fat contain all 3. Why would one of them be trying to kill us? Cholesterol = life. It's in every cell and is responsible for many things in the body, like making hormones and turning sunlight into vitamin D. If you removed all of it from your body you would drop dead immediately. The biggest concentration of it is in the brain. That's why memory issues are a major side effect of statins. It's in EVERY cell wall. That's why muscle pain is a major side effect of statins, it's killing cell walls. I recommend looking into Nina Teicholz's work on the history and corruption behind the Dietary Guidelines, and Zoe Harcombe's work on the lack of evidence behind the Dietary Guidelines. Besides Dr. Westman, Dr. Ken Berry has a lot of great videos talking about all of this, and he'll show you the evidence and studies. Eat real whole food, don't fear the fat and cholesterol, get rid of carbs. The only "healthy" carb is non starchy vegetables, though many people have issues with their anti-nutrients. But that's another story. I wish you well on your journey.

Great question from the lady in blue...is this the same reaction (dopamine) that showed a change in the brain scan for Chris vanTulleken's experiment where he ate high processed food (typically beige, high carb) they could see a difference in the area for repetitive behaviour when comparing the scans before and after his 30 days on highprocessed food. Before his experiment, i.e. his normal diet, he ate approx 80% whole food and 20% high processed and he might have counted bread as "high processed". The gentleman pointing out to alert the insurancecompanies...👍💪 That is so on point, for it sure needs to be a solid counterpart to the processed food companies and also to some extent pharma companies who have a interest in promoting medication with moderate benefits but major negative side effects.

[@sharfalor4244]

Im two years into eating low carb/keto/ then mostly carnivore in that order. I fell off the wagon with carb creep for a few weeks over xmas and new year but back on track now. I'm finding it easier and easier to deal with friends 'concern' if eating out. I will only go where I can just get meat and veg (don't bother with veg at home apart from now and then but most restaurants wont increase the meat). I've started to notice though that the 'concern' or negative jibes about me missing out by others are more about justifying their own choices. They can sit there and have their huge desert washed down with coke whilst I drink my soda water, and I'll happily respond with information about diabetes, heart disease and obesity etc until they shut up. 😂

What to have on your keto food list -- If you measure ketones and are in ketosis then you are in a keto diet and you don't need to change your list. If you are not in ketosis, then you are not on a keto diet. Follow a diet that puts you in ketosis and don't listen to people with PhD's that have "special" diets for you. Keto is about ketones and if you are not in ketosis then do what you need as an individual not a one-size fits all solution.

[@makaisenki]

The way I describe keto is incredibly simple. Keep your carbs either net or total under 20, it's kind of up to you and aim for 150 g of protein a day and 150 g of fat a day. If you can do that you'll be in the 30/60 ratio of calories from protein and calories from fat. You don't have to do a whole lot of complicated math. If you have sausage that's two to three times as much fat as protein maybe try a leaner meat for your next meal and then you can use like sweet baby Ray's sugar-free BBQ sauce, it uses allulose, that'll keep the fats down for that meal and kind of balance you back out. There's others like g Hughes sauces are sugar free, they all use some sort of sucralose, And then if you have an air fryer you can have some burgers without the buns for dinner or a cut of meat.

Is there a week mealplanner for prescription Keto please?

When I did keto a few years ago, I actually lost too much weight. I could not figure out how to maintain a good weight. I’m a small person and was doing keto for brain health more than weight loss. Any advice?

You've got to eat more calories! And you may up your veggies a bit. Instead of keto, go low carb. That might help.

Very interesting. I enjoyed hearing their stories.

[@margomoore4527]

Could you comment on the carb content of CBD gummies? I use them in lieu of pain pills to mute back pain and go to sleep (2); if I wake up, I’ll take 1 to help go back to sleep. Rinse & repeat for a total of 3-5 per night. They are not my only sleep aid; I use new age music videos, and that helps a lot. But I am seeing the need to let carbs creep OUT in order to control insulin resistance and give my fatty liver a break. How much impact overall can a few gummies make?

[@margomoore4527]

Oh, hate the hair. The slicked back style makes your head look small and you older. Just one woman’s observation.

[@jamescalifornia2964]

Most contain sugar/honey. I stay away from gummies and use the CBD oil 👌

[@user-pr5tx9ep4m]

Most likely fillled with sugar. I'd wager from the ones I've seen that it could be as high as 5 g/gummy. You can usually get capsules instead.

It's taken some time to wrap my head around, 'blockages' occur because of fat and cholesterol compared to carbs enhance inflammation causing damage to the walls such that cholesterol acts like spackle' totally different model from what I've heard from doctors.

Can we substitute protein powders for meat on occasion?

[@elizabethwhite1068]

It's not really recommended because it doesn't have the full nutrition of real food. But I sometimes have trouble getting enough protein, I just can't eat that much, so I use it to supplement. Don't use it as a meal replacement, it would be very nutritionally deficient and won't give you the satiety that real food does. Eggs are a much better substitute.

[@yoonejune]

Still the best!

[@rawmilkmike]

Isn't there a low carb study that demonstrated weight loss with increased calorie intake? For most of us, our health should be the bigger concern. Weight loss is not necessary if your health improves. There are some die-hard dieters who have dieted their metabolic rate down to 800 calories a day. These people are certainly not going to benefit from increased calorie restriction. 17:51

what happens biologically when you cross the threshold - say go from 20g carbd to 40g carbs?

[@lf7065]

Many people can tolerate it. Even up to 75 mgs. It depends on your body. Just play around with the numbers and see where your threshold is.

[@jjolla6391]

please explain how eating 1500 cals worth of fat (on top of the right amount of protein, say 500cals equiv) will make you lose weight if you had previously been eating 1500 cals worth of carbs (plus 500 of protein)

[@elizabethwhite1068]

Because a "calorie" is not a calorie, and "calories in/calories out" is wrong. They are all handled differently by our bodies and have different purposes in the building, repairing and fueling of our bodies. The big issue with carbs is that 1) ALL carbs (including so-called "healthy whole grains") are converted into glucose. We only have 4 teaspoons of glucose in our system at any one time, all the excess must be dealt with. Insulin is released and stores it as fat. 2) Protein is broken down into essential amino acids and is critical because it's the building block of everything. It is only rarely called on to supply energy, in starvation mode. This is why semi-starvation diets don't just make you lose fat, but also muscle. 3) Fat, when it's broken down, supplies essential fatty acids that help protein break down and supply energy in the form of ketones, instead of glucose. The brain and heart prefer ketones and they are more stable. They don't give you that up and down cycle like carbs. And there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate. We do not require them for a healthy life. That's the big lie that has filled the bank accounts of Big Processed Food and then Big Pharma in all the pills to "manage" (because they don't want cures, there's no money in cures, only management) all the metabolic diseases, and then the side effects from those drugs. Since the introduction of the official Dietary Guidelines in 1980 multiple epidemics took off like rockets and are all metabolic diseases. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer's, IBS, and mental health conditions. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease didn't exist in children 40 yrs ago, now it's a childhood epidemic along with type 2 diabetes. Big Pharma is now pushing to get kids onto statins and blood pressure meds, as lifelong meds. It's an evil business model. The only thing that can turn it all around is to go back to low carb, real food diets (no seed oils either, they are not recognized as food by our system and are toxic), and to reject the unscientific dogma of the last 50 years. The other way to look at it is through hunger. We don't get hunger signals to just fill a hole. The signals are calling for actual, specific nutrition. This is why trying to fool the hunger signals with water or fiber as "filling" doesn't work. It's why you're hungry 2 hours after a carb heavy meal. Your system will keep sending hunger signals in an attempt to get the nutrition it needs, in both macro and micro nutrients. Whole animal foods are the best things to answer those hunger signals with. Very little is processed as waste and it's in the bioavailable forms we need. So a calorie of a carrot is not equal to a calorie of beef.

@ethwhite1068 thank you for your detailed response! yes protein is different and thats why i excluded it. I think the gist of what you are saying is that eating 1500 cals of carbs can be replaced with a lesser equiv of cals of fat, say 1200 fat cals (or some number). Great - that means you wont put on weight. But that doesn't explain how you LOSE weight. In order to lose weight, your insulin need to reach fasting levels. Eating protein will elevate them and keep your belly fat from being burned. Only fasting will achieve this. From what i am gathering, a keto diet makes it easier to fast .. but at the end of the day keto by itself wont shed your excess. Granted being in keto is a great way to stay at your target weight. But what i find difficult to grasp is what happens when you eat pas that magic 20g threshold. Why wouldn't 40g of carbs yield (almost) the same benefit. Dr W explains you are not in ketosis - and i ask so what? as long as the carbs are low, we have achieved not getting hungry during the day.

[@elizabethwhite1068]

@@jjolla6391 I highly recommend listening to some interviews with Dr. Ben Bikman. He's the king of insulin and explaining all of this. Fats and carbs are not metabolized the same way, and it's all directed by hormones. For one big difference, all carbs turn into glucose, and glucose spikes insulin, whereas fat does not spike insulin. As for your last question, there is no one size fits all. Some people can get away with having up to 100 grams of carbs, (which would just be a low carb diet not a ketogenic diet) and not have insulin issues, while others are more sensitive and need to stay much lower and be in ketosis at least some of the time. Dr. Bikman will explain in detail, but it's all driven by hormones.

Sam Feltham: DKY W tells this guy's tale about eating 5000 calories. Why W? It cheapens & discredits you. It's just an anecdote plus the guy writes on his site, "... you might think: 'Sure you're a naturally slim guy and probaby very active' and you'd be right." Was three weeks. He gained more weight on low fat than on keto (+ 7.1 vs + 1.3 kg). Likely glycogen that takes on water or a Mismeasure if some kind. & even if it's not, any woman who has lived a day can tell you about wild weight fluctutions in a three week period. Sam's story is meaningless. Why tell him to write it up? Has science come to this? Why mention this ridiculous tall tale at all? Could it actually be published in anything beyond his own diary?! NO!! Please say no!!
