Always Hungry?

by David Ludwig

Ludwig's insulin-centered argument: processed carbohydrates drive fat storage and hunger, so eat higher fat and lower glycemic load to retrain the body, with a three-phase plan and recipes. Well-argued and part of an ongoing scientific dispute.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Hunger is a signal of what you eat, not weakness.
  2. Lower glycemic load, higher fat.
  3. Track hunger and energy.

Do this first

Try phase one for two weeks and track hunger, not just weight.

Our verdict

Well-argued, contested.
