Sir, you avoid the issue of Keto? Are you still on that diet?
I wish more people who are willing to use their minds to question current dogma would read the Medical Medium books, because these ideas, though startling, make absolute common sense.
No question that people are different. People's metabolism and digestion (sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system) differ, so that food passes quickly (leading to better "results" eating carbs) or passes slowly (better eating proteins). The body seems tuned to eat in a certain way depending on the Earth latitude of their ancestors. The far northern latitudes would not have had fruits and veges during the winter, so would have evolved to eat more meat, and their digestion would be slower.
But the common sense in the MM books is that rather than "wasted" calories, glucose, like oxygen, and water, and vitamin C, is a vital nutrient, and to deprive the body of glucose makes as much sense as depriving the body of air, water or vitamin C. Both the liver and the BRAIN store glucose, but these stores must be replenished.
And we know from earth-based science that glucose, per say, doesn't make you fat! (Fructose makes you fat, as you can discern from minutes 6 of this interesting youtube https://youtu.be/-ygExIZm7Wo?t=357 )
And unfortunately ordinary table sugar is half fructose!
Even more controversial is the idea that dietary FAT places a large load on the liver, and should be kept to less than 15% of dietary calories. The MM book LIVER RESCUE covers this in great detail. Before reading MM, I had a bias against the Dean Ornish approach - very low fat. I didn't believe his findings, knowing how critical vitamin C is to heart disease. After reading MM, I read some objective third party analysis of some 20 diets and the correlation to heart disease. Guess what, Ornish other other fat-free diets were at the top of the list, while the worst diets correlating to bad heart disease were Keto, paleo, etc. So I have changed my mind. Fat is not inert or unimportant in the heart disease story...
