It looks a bit better than the usual images of club-wielding thuggish savages one finds in google images.
It takes time for your body to adapt to using fat as primary fuel source. After that endurance performance won't suffer much if at all. I know that feeling you describe. Before i went RPD i did a cooked ketogenic diet. In my first and second week i went cycling both times were very miserable and hard. Later when my body had adapted I had no issues with endurance exercise. Performance was the same as on carbs. Weight lifting I still cannot do without carbs. The very short intense burst of energy require glycogen.
Some people here in Poland treat sunburns by putting kefir on and it works preety well.
You're right, I found some links with varying figures around that area, such as this one claiming "7,000 to 10,000 calories per day": http://scienceline.org/2008/07/blog-mahan-cheeseburgers/ However, that doesn't necessarily mean DR's diet is healthy for most folks in the long run, of course.

70 bananas is 7350 calories, which seems extreme for his build even for a single-day intake. Don't you find 70 bananas in a day, or 30 for that matter, to be extreme? Even GS during his fruitarian phase didn't eat more than 3
No, he's quite right. Many people here have experienced higher sex-drive etc. after eating raw animal foods. Raw oysters are typically cited as being aphrodisiacs.
The problem I see with my plan is having the willpower to not just shut off my alarm and go back to bed.
Someone also mentioned sleeping 1/2 hour every 3 1/2 hours all day and night. Polyphasic sleep I will try it when I gather up the courage. Skinny Devil and others mentioned it in the thread "Introduce yourself".
If you try it tell us how it worked out.
