Posting to again clarify my position on Ted Naiman. I think the world of him and his successful treatment of his patients. I have his book and recommend it to many; however, I don't agree with every detail in his theories and some (very minor) of his views on the insulin hypothesis, as I likely don't agree 100% with anyone. It's probably just me, but I'd rather get his recommendations for healthy practices that I can adopt (his energy-balance hypothesis related to obesity is valuable) rather than photos of 6 pack abs. I realize he has to appeal to a wide range of ages. At the end of the day and the end of Ted's book, I'm still practicing low carb and keto for better health. I'm not drinking bullet-proof coffees, eating large quantities of fat, or chasing HGH through long fasts and workouts, and Ted's observations are spot on in those areas. Credit to Naiman and Bikman for enlightening me on the value of increased protein consumption.
