Stigler Diet - Hackdot

As I started preparing home-made kefir, I realized that full-fat milk has a balanced protein-fat content, and is rich in some other nutrients. Fermentation to kefir reduces the lactose content while increasing some of the good things (vitamins, amino-acids).

In my calculations, about 3L of kefir per day should satisfy the energy and protein needs of an adult; for under $3/day.

If that'd work, it would be the first complete diet made from only one ingredient!

fun fact kefir is like 0.5% alcohol so that amounts to 15 mL of alcohol for 3 L of kefir! Not much at all, but probably adds up combined with other drinks

Now that's what I call a complete meal, the drink included :)

3L of Kefir is only about 2000 calories, which is not enough for most adults.
