Summary
Hi friends! This episode is all about the Protein Leverage Hypothesis! The brilliant scientists who discovered it through their work with insects, animals and humans are on the podcast on Monday's episode (June 14th) and this episode is a primer to explain the hypothesis and why they have solved the obesity epidemic through their work. I discuss it in depth here, what it is, how I experienced it in my life with my high protein experiment, the 5 appetites that drive human nutrient balancing, and the role of fiber. I also talk about food addiction and food fixation and how prioritizing protein can help put an end to it! Stay tuned for Monday's episode with Dr. David Raubenheimer & Dr. Stephen Simpson and follow @ketogenicgirl on instagram for many posts on the topic!

Prior to beginning a ketogenic diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a ketogenic diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a ketogenic diet[, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A ketogenic diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet].
