This will both introduce you to the many following podcasts, and I will begin teaching you about diet and what happened to it so that now we have more obesity and diabetes than in the previous 5000 years.
Currently we have a 40% prevalence of obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes in the United States, as in most modern western countries. Something has happened to our diet in the last one hundred years or so that was not present in the previous five thousand years to precipitate this epidemic. I have combined five of my smaller Kindle books into this paperback to teach you about diabetes, metabolism, nutrition, and the modern diet such that you can use your common sense, and perhaps some suggestions from me, to develop a maintenance diet for the modern man. Along the way I will probably be able to get you to lose fat with the ketogenic diet, I may be able to keep your prediabetes from progressing, and I will help you manage diabetes. What I really want is to prevent these diseases through a diet your food engineer can provide for the next 50 years.
I may not be a real doctor and will offer no medical advice. I will teach you enough about diet and health that you will probably know more about this subject than most health care providers. I am going to assume you have common sense. These podcasts are a condensed version of the book. My aim is to get you to buy the book, as that is the way I pay for my internet access. This will end up about 50 podcasts and I will teach you many things. I do not plan to offer any references or footnotes. Most of you will learn and understand about fasting and autophagy, and almost all of you will try it a little. You will end up on either the common maintenance diet or the low carb maintenance diet, depending on your insulin resistance status. Bread has been the most important food in human history, and I had to write one of my smaller books on bread in the modern diet. At the end, you will agree with me.
