Great follow up and thorough explanation of good nutrition. USDA to issue new dietary guidelines at the end of the year. Eager to see what they come up with. However, I believe the American consumer has been sabotaged by the prepackaged and fast foods that are so readily available and heavily consumed. These foods have their body programmed to burn sugar (simple carbs) for energy. The minute their body burns through that energy, they get hunger signals and cravings...and they grab more sugar (simple carbs). You know what happens...insulin resistance that then results in more stored abdominal fat...and no satiety..ever. What they don't know is what happens if you push past those first hunger pangs. They don't know or understand what the body does when one fasts. They don't know about, understand or maybe don't believe what it means to be fat adapted and have your body burn fat for energy. I'm not a physician nor a registered dietitian and NEVER believed I could fast...BUT, not only can I fast, but it is easy and I know the difference between actual hunger...and eating for other reasons. We do NOT have a fat adapted population. We have a sugar adapted population. Just my humble opinion. Thank you Dr. Manchireddy for all of your efforts. Have a safe and healthy 2025!
