About

Me visiting Iceland

I'm Mattias Lindberg. A Swedish guy with too many odd interests, and a habit of testing them on myself.

By trade I'm a motion designer. I've spent 20+ years making things move, for games, brands and artists, and today I run my own studio, Fake Pilot. In 2025 I was named Quality Entrepreneur in Västra Götaland. The work lives on fakepilot.com. This site is the rest of me: how I eat, train, think and live.

How I got here

  1. Early days
    Mattias as a toddler

    Born curious. Still am.

    Climbed Licancabur on the Bolivia–Chile border, to the crater lake at the top, one of the highest lakes in the world.

  3. 2009–2011

    My first real diet experiment, around 29: The Hollywood Physique Diet. 300 g of beef and 11 eggs a day, one hour of all the carbs and sugar I could eat, and training. That's when I got hooked on testing things on myself.

  7. 2017
    Team Diet Doctor in LCHF-magasinet

    Making motion graphics at Diet Doctor, the world's largest low-carb health company. Food and work started to overlap.

  8. 2019–2020
    Mattias in Montréal

    Moved to Montréal to study Houdini FX at Lost Boys School of Visual Effects.

  9. 2024
    Mattias on a dock after a cold bath

    Gothenburg, working on car interfaces at Lynk & Co. My anti-aging year: around 30 supplements a day and cold baths all winter. I kept the cold water and dropped the pills. Real food beats every supplement.

  10. 2025
    Mattias by a misty window in the forest house

    Moved out to my dad's old house in the forest. I live in nature now: raw milk nearby, eggs from the neighbours, honey from a local farm. I ate carnivore and made kefir. The same year, Fake Pilot was named Quality Entrepreneur in Västra Götaland.

  11. Today
    Backlit portrait of Mattias

    Running Fake Pilot from the forest and a couple of weeks into ROHEMM: honey, eggs, milk and meat, raw, once a day. Writing down what holds up. Right here.

Food. I've tried pretty much every diet: raw vegan, LCHF, keto, carnivore. Carnivore in ketosis went well for about a year, until my sleep and readiness started dropping. So I took the next step: everything raw, once a day, with raw milk and unheated honey added to the meat and eggs. I call it ROHEMM, and I'm writing it all down on rohemm.com.

Body. I train calisthenics: bars, rings, bodyweight, wherever I am. I travel when I can. Sunlight and cold water do more for me than any pill, and I've learned that most supplements are marketing with a pill bottle. I take anti-aging seriously, and productivity without burnout.

Money. I'm a Bitcoiner and I lean Austrian economics: sound money, clear incentives.

The world. I'm interested in how the world is actually run: power, narratives, institutions. Not as bitterness. As reality. Some call that conspiracy. I call it paying attention, with curiosity and a sense of humor.

Tattoo on my chest: “Question Everything.” It's a personal compass, not the mood of this site. Here the mood is: test, build, stay sharp, stay kind.

If you're health-curious, freedom-minded, or just have too many odd interests yourself, write to me at [email protected]. I like meeting people who think for themselves.
