This week I describe what inspired me to want to write about health, some incredible stories of nutritional healing, examine some food guidelines, & cover pushing through a tough spot for beginners.
Leslie this newsletter was amazing! Completely agree with you on the food pyramid "BS" - wow, just wow. What else can you say? Garbage!! On a positive note - I appreciated your comments so much on how you are long term fasting, your fasting days, etc. I have been an IF 20/4 for about a year and have experienced much of what you discuss - very slow (if any) weight loss and (along with Gen & Cory) have decided to try the ADF. I completed my first 36 hour fast this morning. Fasting is not completely new to me but I was definitely experiencing "window creep" where I would eat earlier and earlier in my fasting window so I barely was getting 14 hours in. This 36 hr fast was AMAZING!! It was easy (I know they won't all be) I felt so energized - I even worked out twice, once in the morning and once when everyone was eating dinner so I wouldn't be tempted. I had the best night sleep in quite a long time and my GKI was optimal (I have a keto mojo for when I get down to being serious). I have decided my best fasting days will be Mon/Wed/Sat - suits my life right now. Thank you for your instructions - what helped me most I think was your comment somewhere along the way about the bad bacteria in your gut can't survive when you long term fast and it's deprived of glycogen. I have had a strange and very serious face rash (9 doctors couldn't figure it out - one of them named it dermititis) that has really corrected itself after a long 2 year haul with IF and pro-biotics. I'm committed to this ADF and look forward to the benefits I will reap!! Looking forward to your next substack newsletter! xoxo from Colorado
Great article , you are just scratching the surface of the corruption in the food and drugs industry and the influence they have. I've been fasting for a few years now and feel better now than any time since my twenties, however recently I've come across the ultra low carb or carnivore environment, it sounds extreme but it seems to get great results for lots of illnesses. as insulin is lowered continually, Here is a link to Anthony Chaffee MD interview with a doctor in Budapest where they put cancer in remission on a meat only diet,
As it's curing cancer the medical profession won't accept the results, well worth a listen , keep up the great work , Colin
Dr. Chris Palmer helped my son recover from Bipolar I with ketogenic diet. We started a non-profit initiative to fund research and provide resources and education. You can find our story and resources here: www.metabolicmind.org. Nearly 100 videso on youtube about metabolic psychiatry and ketogenic therapy for mental disorders.

Leslie, is there one site or book which is better for one who would like to start trying a keto diet? Thanks
