Ep. 101: Building a Bioenergetic Diet: Optimal Carb, Fat, and Protein Sources — Key Takeaways

The Missing Amino Acid That Melts Belly Fat and Visceral Fat

Supplementing 5g of glycine three times daily reduced HbA1c by ~1.4% in type 2 diabetics and cut postprandial glucose by over 50%, suggesting it directly targets the insulin resistance and triglyceride elevation that drive visceral fat.

Ep. 100: Building a Bioenergetic Diet: Macros, Calories, and Meal Timing

Consume 0.6–0.8g protein per pound of bodyweight, 20–40% calories from fat, and at least 220g carbohydrates daily, spaced across 3–5 meals every 3–5 hours to maintain blood sugar and suppress stress hormones.

Eat 1–2 oz of beef liver weekly, swap one daily meal's protein for 2–4 eggs, rotate fatty wild seafood (salmon, sardines, mackerel) 2–3x weekly, replace grain starches with tubers, and supplement vitamin D at 5,000–10,000 IU daily to close the nutrient gaps a standard balanced meal leaves open.

The Sugar Diet/Honey Diet and FGF21: The Research (EB # 133)

Adding glycine (from collagen, gelatin, bone broth, or supplements) to a normal diet achieves the same lifespan-extension benefit attributed to FGF21 without the muscle loss, bone loss, and infertility caused by protein restriction.
