My New Podcast

I got your letters!

The world was clamoring for yet another podcast on low carb eating so I have risen to the challenge.

You can find THE PIRATE NUTRITIONIST PODCAST and all the regular old podcast platforms. If you are not into Stitcher then Google me and find me elsewhere.

I will generally speak about things in a conversational tone intended for the layperson to understand, mainly since I am not a doctor or licensed nutritionist or licensed pirate.

But I do know how to normalize that body weight.

Thanks for your support!

FAT - High? Low? What's the Dealio?

     Why is it that people seem to lose weight both by eating high fat and low fat? I've seen the studies and the data. It seems like both ways work. So how the heck is THAT possible? It only sounds like "a thing" because "fat" is called "fat" and we assume that it has something to do with the fat that is stored on our body.      While it is pretty much the same stuff, the eating of fat, whether that fat comes from animal sources or plant sources, has nothing to do with how much of it gets stored on your body. The thing that controls that is INSULIN.      Insulin is the hormone that decides when you store fat or when you use it for energy. Fat is actually energy, and that is what we should be calling it. The things you eat that determine whether or not you will get fat are foods that raise your insulin levels. When insulin levels are high, your body is ordered to store fat. It's that simple. It will not allow your body to use that stored fat unti

Most people fail long before that. That said, I have no particular expertise in eating disorders. But I urge you to read on and see what you think. My wife is a clinician who sometimes deals with eating disorder clinics and I find some of their methods troublesome. They have a pretty wide latitude for things that constitute disordered eating. Let me mention this first: IT IS NORMAL TO WANT TO BE THIN. IT IS NORMAL TO SKIP MEALS OR EVEN FAST ON OCCASION. Yes, I said it. What is NOT normal is to purposely fast after your fat stores are depleted because then your body begins to use muscle and organs as fuel and this is deadly. I assert that these clinics and indeed doctors and nutritionists and dieticians are not getting the message to modern humans that THERE IS A WAY TO EAT HEALTHY, EAT ALL YOU WANT UNT
