Lipoproteins in diet and health has been a confusing topic for many.  Is cholesterol good or bad?  Is a low-fat diet good or bad, or maybe neutral.  I will at least teach you the lingo so you can understand what is being talked about.  Actually, I am going to teach you a lot more than that. Not everyone will agree.  I count on your common sense.

This is the last chapter in my book Diet and Health.  Some of the chapters are reprinted in eBook form because they are easier to understand that way.  All the chapters, including this one, can be listened to via podcast on my website kellygregg.com

This chapter is available as an eBook as this is a long, technical chapter.  Please to not listen to this podcast while operating heavy equipment.

This is a summary of the whole book.  I guess you can cheat and just listen to this podcast.  If you believe everything and make changes in your diet, I guess I win.  

Most people will have to be convinced to do this.  That is what the other 50 podcasts are for.  This is really just to remind people.  IF you have listened to all the other podcasts, first you need to get out more.  Second, I hope you feel guilty enough to buy the book.

I am going to give the food engineer my final advice on bread in the maintenance diet.  I guess you could have just read this chapter, but you would have missed out on a lot of information like why I am giving this advice.  This is almost the last chapter in the book Diet and Health, and if you listened to all the podcasts, you should be ashamed you did not just buy the book.  I understand some of you are poor and truthfully I would rather you have the information than not, but perhaps a payment plan is in order.

This is the conclusion of the bread in the modern diet section of the book DIET AND HEALTH.  I am giving the food engineer some advice as to how to incorporate bread into the common maintenance diet.  As you have noticed in the last few podcasts, I am presenting bread as the most important food in history.  It is not really the bread, it is the grain.  Bread is just the way humans eat grain.  Historically I believe that in times of scarcity, man could live on bread alone to prevent starvation.  Now with our modern bread, I do not believe that is true.  I have given you my reasons in the previous podcasts.  Now I am giving the food engineer the conclusions.

Sometimes eating bread can make you sick.  Sometimes very sick.  Wheat can cause immunologic disease in some individuals.  I will review these diseases and the treatment is always the same.  You may have to avoid gluten and wheat.  If you believe you are sick, you need to get a diagnosis.  I may be able to help you understand what is going on, but I may be a Diktor or Mikology, not a licensed health care provider.  You may actually need to see one.

This episode has been published and can be heard everywhere your podcast is available.

-We hear a lot about gluten-free, but what is gluten.  This podcast almost completes the section of the book, Diet and Health, bread section.  If we are going to talk about wheat bread, we must talk about gluten.  If it wasn't for gluten, there would be no risen bread.  I will concentrate on wheat, but gluten is also in rye and barley bread.  Although there is oat flour, there is really no oat bread.  This is a technical chapter and I must advise it will be much easier to understand in the written form.

am finishing up the bread part of the book.  So far I spent all the time on flour, and I should have as this is what is causing insulin resistance.  But, because I am somewhat compulsive, I will review the other three ingredients in this podcast.  I will admit this is not the most exciting podcast, but your will be surprised about how much useful general information you will get.  You may learn some useful information..

I must worn you up front that this may be the most boring podcast of the book.  I will give you a little history of how we went from a hard, brown, dense bread and flour to a white, light, fine flour that we buy in the store and from which our bread is made.  The bread in the last 100 years is nothing like historical bread.  It also contains ingredients never seen in bread the previous 5000 years, and some your historical gut biome has not seen either.

The book Diet and Health is somewhat of a reference book, hence I have listed some of the things you may see in the ingredients list.  We went from four ingredients for most of history to about twenty.   I will make an eBook of this chapter so you can more easily see what these are.  Of course, you could always just buy the book Diet and Health and look in chapter 45.

I have told you about wheat and grain, now the important part.  How has our bread changed such that for almost all of history we could eat a high carb diet and not get insulin resistance.  You already know about sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, frequent eating, no 12 hour nighttime fasting, and other elements.  Now probably the most important.  Historically we had a high carb diet and those carbs mainly came from grains.  The way we ate grain was to make bread.  I will tell you how important bread is in history.  The grains may have changed slightly, and we add a bunch of other stuff to our bread, but the most important change has been in the size of the grain particle.  If you listened previously to the sucrose example, you know as the relative surface area of the particle gets larger and the size gets smaller, the more rapidly the enzymes can digest the particle, and the more rapidly it gets absorbed.  Listen to all of this podcast as I seem to make it sound as if I am finished in the middle.

Bread is the earliest processed food and has played a major role in the history of man for the last 5000 years.  At one time man was able to stay alive on bread alone. It has always been a prominent part of the diet of the western world.  Today's bread is not the same at all as the bread eaten 2000 years ago. It also may play a prominent role in our current epidemic of obesity and insulin resistance  I will give the food engineer an extensive background in bread, bread making, bread buying, and bread sensitivity.  Bread will be a component of the maintenance diet..

This is a special chapter on soy in the diet, as well as plant antinutrients.  It is addressed to the food engineer so she can include this information in what food to buy and how to prepare it.  Almost all the book, Diet and Health is addressed to the years of diet one has, and how the accumulation of good habits and the avoidance of bad ones keep you in good health.  If you eat a couple doughnuts this week, you will not harm yourself.  Your body will protect you from screwing up every now and then.  If you eat a couple doughnuts every weeks for years, your body will adjust to keep  you alive, but you will sacrifice your health.  Your body will adjust to your bad habits to keep you alive, but you don't get something for nothing.

Now fructose.  If I told you fruit was not good for you, you would not believe it.  And you shouldn't.  If I told you fructose was not good for you, you may think a little.  If I told you a lot of fructose was bad for you, you might believe it.  And you should.  We now ingest more fructose than at any time in human history of the last 5000 years.  It ends up it is one of the major factors in our ever increasing conditions of diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, autoimmune disease, cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver and elevated uric acid.  I will tell you not to eat fruit every day.  You have been misled.  I will tell you not to drink fruit juice every day.  Do not use any high fructose corn syrup.  Some of you will believe me after listening to this.

The previous podcast was on fats.  This one of protein is not nearly as long or complicated.  Most of our protein comes from animals.  When we eat the animal, we eat what the animal ate.  I will discuss how this impacts our omega6/omega 3 ratio.  I will not tell you how to cook meat.

View Details

I continue with addressing the food engineer.  Now we are going to talk about fat.  I will cover cholesterol, saturated vs unsaturated fats, and omega 6 and omega 3 fats.  The food engineer needs to know a lot.  Just buying food is going to take a lot longer on the maintenance diet.  You will be looking at ingredients when you never used to look before.  You will be seeing what the chickens ate that produced the eggs, and how the beef was finished.  You want to know where this pork came from.  Was the fish farmed or wild caught.  If farmed, did they mention what the fish ate.  I hope you will not be dwelling over the cholesterol number, or the ratio of saturated fat.  I do home you start to notice soybean, and what the deal is with omega fats.

Remember we are talking to the food engineer and giving principles for the maintenance diet for the family.  There are no recipes, just some instruction on how to construct this diet.  The podcast is somewhat of a continuation of the last one on how to handle carbohydrates in the diet.

I have been talking about history and theory, but now it is time to start to make something.  What we are making is a maintenance diet,  Therefore I am going to start talking to the food engineer.  We need more details.  Most of the rest of the book is details.

A lot of the rest of the book is addressed to this person.  I am going to help them implement the Maintenance Diet for the C0mmon Man.  I am betting the house on this person.

There is usually one person in the household who is in charge of the food.  The breadwinner may give preferences, but they usually do no go out and buy, prepare, and store the food.  The kids in the house just want to eat out every meal.  The food engineer is responsible for the diet.  The success of the maintenance diet depends wholly on the food engineer.  Most of the rest of the book is addressed to this person.

Thyroid is the most commonly prescribed medication in the US.  Why is that?  I will review thyroid and your body.  Fasting may only be of a minor benefit.  This is jus a chapter to inform you on thyroid function as many obese individuals believe that is their problem.  For most, it is not.

This is a difficult subject as there are not a lot of studies on fasting in children.  We do know that often fat kids have fat parents.  Why is that?  Has there been a world wide mutation such that now 30% of children and 40% adults are overweight?  What is going on and what can we do about it?

Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are both related to our diet.  Although I cannot offer treatment, I may be able to slow progression.  If you go on the maintenance diet for the common man, I may be able to prevent it.  That is, you may be able to prevent it.

You would think artificial sweeteners would work every time.  Simply replace normal pop with artificial sweet pop.  Then eat your normal diet.  You could use artificial sweeteners to replace any of the sugar in your diet.  According to the laws of thermodynamics, you must lose weight.  Yet many studies have shown the just don't seem to work.

I will go into detail using a research paper that mainly used mice.  After listening to this, you will have a much better understand why they don't work.  If you are like me, you will stop using artificial sweeteners.  It's hard to believe, but sucrose sweetened pop my end up being better for you.

That's not to say you should drink it.

This is a continuation of Autophagy.  I had to teach you about AGEs before I could keep going on Autophagy.  I hope you appreciate the valuable service autophagy provides, and the benefits of enhancing this process.

As some of you know, I believe in creation.  Part of that belief would be than man was created to last forever.  If so, autophagy would be required to continually enable the worn out parts of the cell to be replaced.  Although man fell from that status, we still have autophagy, and can take advantage of this useful process.

Ages are advanced glycated end products.  You are continually making these in your body.  The production of these leads to aging.  I will explain what they are, and how to reduce their production.  Of course this is related to the modern western diet and explains somewhat why we are not healthy.  This book is trying to keep you from getting unhealthy.  Ages are on of the reasons keeping you from health.  You will understand why and it will make sense to you.

This introduces you to a homeostatic process that allows you to renew the cells of your body.  Each cell with a nucleus should have the ability to make anything in that cell.  Autophagy does not make anything, but it does remove the elements of the cell that are either not working properly or are damaged.  It would seem that we want to encourage this activity.  It appears that in the modern diet, we are not.

We have been talking about fasting and i am almost finished.  This will give you and example of using fasting to treat a disease.  I will talk a little about rheumatoid arthritis, but mainly give an example of how to treat someone with prediabetes.  This may not be a real patient and I may not be a real doctor, or even a real diktor, So do not use this as medical advice.

The gut biome is composed of the contents of your gut.  It is not inside you, but like the skin separates the environment from the inside of your body.  There are more bacteria in your gut than there are cells in your body.  If these were not kept out, you would be dead.

The gut biome keeps you healthy.  We can adversely affect this biome with health consequences.  We know understand that many different diseases are influence by this biome such that we get sick or unhealthy.

This is really just an introduction to the subject which will eventually occupy its own book.

i am continually surprised by the reaction of some people when I suggest they may want to not eat for a day.  There seems to be an irrational fear that takes over and they often respond that they could never do that.  Even after explaining their energy stores and that most everyone could not eat for a week or two and not suffer any consequences, they still deny they could ever skip eating for a day.  I show them the chapter on the Angus fast, and although they agree that this occurred, it still seems they fear something would happen to them if they stopped eating.

Something does happen.  You get hungry.  You are supposed to get hungry.  If you think about it, almost everyone has gotten hungry, and for almost everyone this goes away after about an hour or two.  I agree if will return, but it did go away.  I can only conclude that man may have an instinct of fear of starvation.  This makes a little more sense, although throughout history it has been the norm that we would occasionally not eat every day. 

Modern man has food available  24 hours a day and seven days a week.  Now not only can we not imagine not eating a day, we can't live without our cell phone a day.

I will try to help you out with this podcast.

By now if you have been listening to me about fasts, you know what fasting is.  Believe it or not, I have to tell you again because still some people do not understand.  Fasting is not eating any calories.  Fasting is not just eating a little, even just a bite.  Although I don't encourage this, you may drink things sweetened with non-caloric artificial sweeteners (NAS).  If you are fasting, you may not eat things sweetened with monk fruit or stevia.  Although these are low calorie, they are not no calories.

Fasting may be making a comeback and you hear about all kinds of fasts on the news.  I will go through the most popular ones, at least those I think are most popular; but if the bottom line is not eating, how many different fasts can you have.

Again I must caution you.  If you keep listening to these podcasts, especially the ones I will make on autophagy, you will most likely try to fast at least one day.  I know it's hard to believe right now, but just wait and see.

I also will get you to buy the book Diet and Health, although I am not as confident about that prediction.

Since I may be a Diktor of Mikology, I have a certain ethical obligation to warn you of certain risks.  Sunshine is OK but avoid sunburn.  Do not go into shark infested water if you are bleeding.  Do not exceed two mixed drinks an hour.

Also, do not start a therapeutic fast without talking to a health care provider.  This is a short podcast trying to warn you.  I usually rely on people's common sense, but occasionally your subconscious mind gains dominance and people do stupid things.  Just look at YouTube.  I go over a few of the reported deaths from therapeutic fasting.  Remember, extended fasting is a last resort.

I hope you pay slight attention before you do something stupid.

This is another case study of a fast.  Although this fast only lasted 36 days, it was done ten years after the Angus fast and had a few more laboratory tests done.  It also illustrates the difference between obese and non-obese fasting.  This person was dong a religious fast and started out with a normal BMI.  It illustrates the difference between body status.  Also this monk took communion wafers every day which amounted to 60 calories a day.  He actually had a very reduced calorie diet, not a fast; and it seemed to make a difference.

I will require you to know some metabolic physiology and am going to assume you know some stuff as I didn't have enough time or desire to go into detail explaining everything.  If you are not a nerd, you may want to consider skipping this episode.

This is an example of a fast that lasted over a year and resulted in a weight loss of 277 pounds.  It occurred in 1965, and a subsequent clinical paper was written.  This gives us an idea as to what happens metabolically when you fast for long periods of time.  This is a therapeutic fast and should be considered a last resort.  Also unlike our short fasts, you need to see a health care provider.  If you are considering a gastric bypass, perhaps you should check this out.  There will be fewer side effects, it will be cheaper, and the weight loss will probably last longer.

I have hinted about this subject in almost every other podcast.  There appears to be an ingrain fear of fasting.  Fasting is not starvation.  Don not fast unless you have plenty of fat.  By that I mean do not fast very long if you don't have fat.  Everyone has enough fat to fast a couple days.  I will explain to you what fasting means and what happens to you when you fast.

I have repeated this many times.  I advise every adult to fast 12 hours between the last meal of the day and the first meal of the next day.  Not only is this the historical norm, it also may be an essential  part of good health.  As time goes on you will understand this and almost everyone will agree.  In the mean time, let me tell you a little about fasting.  Several podcasts will follow along this subject line.

I just finished introducing you to the ketogenic diet.  Now here are some diet details to help you.  Let me remind you that this is a fat losing diet, not a maintenance diet.  When you lose the fat, and let's make it a reasonable amount, you must go on another diet.  This is not designed to be a livelong diet.  Of course, I want to get you on the maintenance diet.  You will need the low carb version if you have insulin resistance.  Of course the whole purpose of my making these podcasts is to get you to buy my book, Diet and Health, available on Amazon or my website, kellygregg.com

Please note the podcast is not an audio version of the book, but pretty close.  I have found I tend to add things as they come to me in the podcast, depending on my current condition.

Finally ketogenesis, although much of the podcast is still about low carb diets.  This makes sense as low carb, ketogenesis, and fasting in a continuum.  If you lower carbs, you get a low carb diet.  If you lower them more, you get ketogenesis.  If you lower them all the way to zero although with everything else, you get fasting.  All of these are diets.  Only one of them is you long term diet.  Since I have already taught you what happens when you stop carbohydrate intake, the ketogenic diet makes sense.  This is a fat losing diet, not a maintenance diet.  I will give a few more details in the next podcast.

I am going over how the low carb diet may be useful to those with diabetes.  I will also go over how this diet may be useful to those with obesity or prediabetes.  If you have insulin resistance, you are going to have to be on a low carb diet.  Hopefully, the low carb version of the maintenance diet.  My goal is to prevent these disorders.  If you already have one, the low carb may prevent it from progressing or get you blood sugar to normal.  It will probably not cure type 2 diabetes unless we made the wrong diagnosis to start with.  If you are metabolically normal I want you on the common maintenance diet.  If you have insulin resistance, even if your blood sugar is presently normal, I will advice the low carb maintenance diet. Not just for a little while, but for the rest of your life.  Just like if you had diabetes you may need to be on insulin for the  rest of your life, except the low carb diet is much cheaper and more convenient.

View Details

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.

At the start I told you I was going to talk about diabetes as this is the most common metabolic disease.  The most common diabetes, that being type two, appears to be induced by diet.  I am trying to show you how the modern western diet has accomplished this and overcome the ability of the diet over the last 5000 years to achieve this goal.

Anyway, I told you I was going to teach you something about diabetes, and this is a review.  I may not be a real doctor and don't treat diabetes.  In fact, my goal is to prevent diabetes.  Many of you listening to the podcast may already have diabetes, or are heading that way.  If I can't prevent your diabetes, at least I may be able to help you manage it through diet.  This is a review of what the different types of diabetes are so that everyone understands what I am talking about.

By the way, I am not only teaching you something, but also trying to induce you to buy my book, Diet and Health, on Amazon.

The last episode was looking at food, now keep looking a little more.  We are slowing answering the question as to why, over the last 100 years or so, we have gotten to a 40% prevalence of obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, when for the last 5000 years that was not the case.  It is not only going to be our diet, but also the actual food in our diet.  We will again look a little at sucrose, but we recognize that the majority of carbohydrates in our diet come from starch  Much of this starch comes from bread.  Wile we are on the topic of carbs, we will also look at high fructose corn syrup.

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.

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.

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.
