I've been checking out his videos for the last 2 days on youtube. Just do a search for 'Matt Stone 180'. He's dedicated, highly informed and passionate and definitely 180 from Paleo. His basic message 'rings true' to me, both logically and from experience. Doesn't mean I'm 'going there' though.

As another poster wrote, he's 'been there, done that' with a lot more stuff in the health arena than most (including paleo). That alone gives him a lot of cred with me.

Lastly, it's probably a good idea for anyone before 'fully committing' to paleo at least give contrarian views a listen.

Another point about Matt, he's as much 'health psychologist' as diet guru. Actually he's much more about psychology than diet.

Of course he knows a lot about nutrition and physiology too. One of his basic points is that a lot of other things are more important than diet in determining health and weight, things like sleep.

Yeah he really has a wide ranging background, similar to mine. Seems like a lot of people who go through the vegan/raw food-paleo-primal-low/VLC sequence wind up with view like MS. He certainly resonates with me.

Some good threads on Matt Stone on PH:

Paleo Summit Hack-a-thon: Matt Stone, 2/28 - PaleoHacks.com
Low-Carb Paleo Eating Ruined Matt Stone's Health? - PaleoHacks.com

So yeah, I ignore him.

I really don't kow enough about this dude to hate on him, but is he maybe doing a guest-host in someone else's living room/kitchen? Is he from New York City, maybe? I can't stop looking at the atrocious clutter behind him. Ahhhh!!!! I'm clausterphobic. He also does not look like a weightlifter.
