The title of my book is Diet and Health, so eventually I am going to talk about diet. I will review several of the diets I have mentioned, although I am saving details of the maintenance diet for later. There is a low carbohydrate version of the maintenance diet which is similar to the common maintenance diet, only fewer carbs.
If you have insulin resistance, you will go on the low carb version. If you are metabolically normal, you go on the common version. Almost everyone with a diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes should consider the low carb version. If you are obese with normal blood sugar, and many younger obese people do have normal blood sugar, it may be possible to go on the common maintenance diet. You must lose weight and be metabolically normal before going on the common diet. If your were older (around fifty), and were obese and lost weight, and do not have a diagnosis of diabetes, you still probably go on the low carb maintenance diet.
I will review a few things we have talked about earlier. I am doing that on purpose. Usually when I review subjects I add a few extra details. As time goes on you understand these extra details better and how they fit into the entire book. So don't complain if you think I am just repeating myself.
The next podcast will be on hunger, and even I understand it a li\little better every time I read and edit it.
