Dr Ludwig explained the INSULIN CARBOHYDRATE MODEL OF OBESITY. It made so much sense. All these chronic diseases and obesity are due to high insulin.
The body makes the hormone insulin when we eat carbohydrate. That is sugars and starches. The white stuff in our foods. Insulin is pretty much the fat fertiliser. It loves to store fat away and does not let the fat out. Just like the turnstile at the swimming pool.
Dr Penny Figtree and other doctors using the low carbohydrate diet are finding new joy in their work. Diabetics coming off their insulin, people losing 30kg in 5 months, sleep apnea gone, reflux gone, aches and pains gone. It is so much fun as a doctor to stop medications rather than starting them. So if you have a problem with weight or diabetes Dr Penny Figtree would love to help you.
