I was interested to learn, recently, that Owsley "the Bear" Stanley, of Grateful Dead and LSD fame, ate a zero carb diet beginning when he was 23. He would not have been considered Paleo because he ate cheese and drank cream, as well as meat, but he did not drink milk, too many carbs. No alcohol, either, although he did have other recreational drugs. Of course there is no such thing as zero carb, but he never ate any plant food except herbs and spices and some oils (macadamia, coconut, palm) for 43 years. Lived to 76, when he died in a car accident.

No "the" - just "Bear."  In addition to his many other skills, he was a talented recording engineer, preserving on tape live concerts by the Grateful Dead and others.  He was behind the board for the recording of Old and in the Way.  Listen to it on headphones sometime.  Every note crisp.

Understatement of the year.
