The food we eat goes beyond its macronutrients of carbohydrates, fat and protein. It's information. It interacts with and instructs our genome with every mouthful, changing genetic expression.

Food is medicine. We can actually change our gene expressions with the foods we eat.

The biggest issue by far is that carbohydrates are absolutely at the cornerstone of all of our major degenerative conditions.

It's not the fat that's making you fat: it's not understanding separating carbohydrates from protein and fat.

The best diet for overall health, and specifically for heart, brain, and cancer risk reduction, is a diet that's aggressively low in carbohydrates with an abundance of healthful fat, and this is the central theme of 'Grain Brain.'

I eat 230 grams of protein daily, 308 grams of carbohydrates, maybe 70 grams of fat. I can have one cheat meal a week but it can't be that I eat until I'm stuffed; I eat until I'm satisfied.
