The Big Idea
Unwin argues that the modern diet is driving widespread poor metabolic health, in part through starchy carbohydrates like bread, rice, and potatoes that the body rapidly converts into glucose. This excess glucose can contribute to belly and liver fat, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. By adopting a low-carbohydrate lifestyle and utilizing behavior change frameworks, individuals may improve liver-function markers and, in some cases, put type 2 diabetes into drug-free remission.
