Questions with Gary Collins1. For those who are unfamiliar with you can you explain the Primal Power Method

and how it relates to the Survivalist lifestyle?2. I run a bit. I can run over 10 miles straight and will be doing a half-marathon at the

end of February. I usually run in the mornings while my body is in a ketogenic state to burn fat a little more.

3. I believe you call this, intermittent fasting.4. So a breakdown of a typical “run day” goes like this:

1. I wake up around 4 and drink a glass of water2. I run my mileage for the day3. On an intense day, I immediately drink a 4-8 oz glass of chocolate milk

and eat a banana4. Skip that step on non-intense days.5. Next, I have bullet proof coffee, but I cheat a little.6. It is a tbsp. Kerry gold butter, 3-4 tbsp of coconut oil, a tbsp. vanilla, and

1-2 tbsp honey, 19 oz coffee.
